00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:09.599
Not too bad!

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:12.849
The newest X-Men film finds itself once again
in the hands of Brian Singer, the director

00:00:12.849 --> 00:00:16.390
of the original X-Men and X2, largely perceived
as the franchises best films.

00:00:16.390 --> 00:00:19.550
As such, Days of Future Past shares a lot
of the tone of the first two movies, but its

00:00:19.550 --> 00:00:23.340
also following up the last X-Men entry, First
Class, and in an effort to include that film,

00:00:23.340 --> 00:00:27.250
we get a time travel story that allows both
Singer's original X-Men cast and First Class

00:00:27.250 --> 00:00:30.660
to share the spotlight, with Wolverine acting
as the bridge between the two time peroids.

00:00:30.660 --> 00:00:35.010
The story is an interesting take on the characters,
focusing mainly on Charles Xavier and Magneto,

00:00:35.010 --> 00:00:38.190
their past relationship, and the impact of
their choices they made when they were young.

00:00:38.190 --> 00:00:41.420
Despite having decent drama and some solid
characterization, don't expect the plot to

00:00:41.420 --> 00:00:42.780
make too much sense.

00:00:42.780 --> 00:00:46.179
It succumbs to lots of time travel plot holes
and comic book logic to explain away its happenings,

00:00:46.179 --> 00:00:49.690
which, while not horrible distracting, are
certainly noticeable even on a casual viewing.

00:00:49.690 --> 00:00:52.750
Also, despite only being in the film for a
short time, Quicksilver totally stole the

00:00:52.750 --> 00:00:53.750
show in this movie.

00:00:53.750 --> 00:00:56.639
Aaron Taylor Joshnson has a hard act to follow
playing the character in Age of Ultron.

00:00:56.639 --> 00:00:59.839
Overall Days of Future Past is a solid summer
flick worth watching if you're a fan of the

00:00:59.839 --> 00:01:02.199
property or just having some fun at the movies.
