Review of X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) by Robert B — 12 Jan 2016
Fresh out the theater last night and I gotta say, if there's a superhero film that better handles film and comic canon, as well as retconning most of that film canon - it's this one. and not that it was a bad thing, FAR FROM IT.
the movie was great! such a perfect blend of old and new utilizing the actual comic mechanics and source material and established characters. the action was well choreographed and the acting was spot-on.
McAvoy and Fassbender lead the charge for sure, with Jennifer Lawrence also doing a great job. For a film with an actually pretty complicated time travel plot with lots of characters, it was very well balanced and pushes the characters forward very well (while teasing for what's to come - STAY AFTER THE CREDITS).
only thing is for people unfamiliar with ALL THE X-MEN it's tough to keep everything straight and get what's happening and who is who, but that's really the whole thing with comic book films, isn't it? you gon' wanna catch this in the theatahs.
