X-Men: Days of Furture Past (2014)

This one of the best X-Men movies I saw to date! All-star casts, action-packed movie and great story from Marvel - What could you ask for X-Men: Days of the Future Past? It’s a complete action-superhero movie! The film’s story starts years after the story of X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) where the X-men heroes must teleport back in the past to change an event that would destroy the whole mutant community in the future. Hugh Jackman was the main lead here as his character Wolverine is the lead in the story too. Too bad, Halle Berry’s role as Storm was limited due to her pregnancy but nonetheless she exuded a great performance as Storm again and I’m delighted to see her again reprising the role. Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart were a sure delight to return to their original roles and meeting their younger self roles James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, both of which delivered great acts again. And Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique has her role expanded fully and gave more importance again but nonetheless Lawrence shown her acting prowess in both action and drama. I’m also delighted to see original X-men original actors and actresses reprising their original roles from first X-men movies like Famke Janssen, Shawn Ashmore, Anna Paquin and James Marsden. 


Aside from having an all-star casts, what makes this X-Men movie successful is the great story detail put on it and how it put together the past film’s story into a good continuity. There’s also a good balance in the story and between the characters that’s why it didn’t suffer over characterization even though it has an ensemble cast. This film is highly recommended not just X-Men fans but to every superhero movie fans.
