Went to see it last night.

 

Exceptional. Really lived up to the hype, very good film. There was a couple of plot holes, but I think because it's time travel, its effectively changed the story in the previous X-Men films. Because of the change with Cyclops and Jean back etc, 'The Last Stand' basically didn't happen.

 

Wolverine had bone claws at the end of 'The Wolverine' but had metal in Days of Future Past. Apparently it's believed Magneto did something about this since they weren't really enemies in DOFP. It didn't explain how Charles comes back but I think he transferred his conscience into another human and then projects himself as Charles to everyone who sees him. If that makes sense. . 

 

He has his ways of surviving...

Returned from watching, As others have pointed out I don't understand how the professor was alive in the start of this movie being the Future when he was ripped apart by Jean. This makes little sense to me and really caused a big hole in how things developed to that point.

It was discussed in one of his lectures in 'The Last Stand' and the seen at the end of the credits. 

I saw the movie today, and it was pretty good. The acting was good, and the special effects were spectacular. And the sentinels were appropriately awesome.

 

I have two gripes with the movie.

 

The first, like others have said, I don't like that they didn't explain how Xavier is alive and looks like himself. The possession/projection theory does make sense and I would totally believe it if Xavier wasn't still wheelchair bound. Are you telling me he possessed the body of another paraplegic? Come on.

 

The other gripe has to do with the sentinels. They were great. Cold, brutal, and unrelenting just like they should be. But, they were TOO powerful. In every Future battle, they wiped the floor with every mutant. There was literally no competition. So I find it hard to believe that the mutants in the future were able to survive as long as they appeared to have survived given how easily they were bested every time. I would have liked the mutants to put up more of a fight, and maybe actually kill some of the sentinels.

 

Minor grips in the long run. This was definitely my favorite X-Men movie to date.

 

Also, after watching the final scene at the end of the credits there was a group of 20-somethings behind me in which a woman from the group said one of the dumbest things I've ever heard someone say out loud. After the scene ended one of the guys in the group asked, "who was that? what did that have to do with the movie?" And this woman in the group said, "Oh God, you know what? It's from the new Star Wars movie....no really, I'm almost positive it's about the new Star Wars." Seriously. This actually happened. I just shook my head and left the theater. So, so many things wrong with that statement. It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Saw it today and loved it. I had to look past a huge plot hole (The Sentinel program being started in the 70s, but the actual Sentinels didn't show up and pose a threat until some fifty years later...), but I still loved it.

Speaking of stupid movie goers. While waiting for the after credits scene, some random dude interjected himself into my group's conversation to say that Havok wasn't in the film at all. He was dead. When I told him that he was in a scene, he was like, "If he was in the film, then why did Magneto say he died?" And I was like, dude, I'm not sure Magneto said Havok died, but if he did, when did we start believing what a villain says in a movie? A villain that's been known to lie and betray people.

I thought it was the among the best superhero movies made to date. I truly did. Thought it was truly fantastic all around.

Great actors. Great acting. Great story. Treats itself very serious. Spectacular visuals. Pretty much perfection.

Truly so damn good, and it tops the original movie now for myself as favorite XMen movie, and as I said, it is one of my favorite superhero movies period.

That list would be just to put it in perspective...

 

  • The Dark Knight
  • Spiderman 1 (tobey)
  • XMen: Days Of Future Past
  • The Avengers

 

I thought all things considered they did a brilliant job of tying all the XMen movies in the series together. Sure there were one or two slight anomalies if you sit there and really pick it apart, but overall they did an incredibly job with the story itself.

 

Just such a damn good movie. As soon as the BluRay goes up for preorder, I will be placing my order.

Well, despite mi low expectations, this move rocked. I really liked first class, James McVoy and Michael Fassbender are just the best actors in this series and this one is even better, love the chemistry between their characters. Cant wait for Days if Apocalypse.

Walked in with low expectations and walked away pretty darn impressed, was a good flick. My only real problem is that I wanted the Sentinels to look more like they did in the 90's cartoon.

 

haven't seen the movie but that is my main grip as well; the Sentinels in the comics and the cartoon are very scary because they are cold, brutal and all tough; this ones are a little too futuristic and more "human like" then the comics ones.

I thought they were terrifying. They didn't look human to me at all. In fact, they kinda reminded me of Slender Man. Their two glowing eyes and lack of a nose, mouth and ears made them look eerie. If they looked more like the sentinels from the 90s cartoon, then they would have looked silly. I definitely wouldn't take a muscular-looking giant red and purple robot seriously.

Oh don't get me wrong, I still liked the design of the Sentinels in the movie. They were sleek, dark and pretty damn creepy, but I just have the biggest place in my heart for everything to do with the 90's cartoon.
