X-Men: Days of Future Past is directed by Bryan Singer and stars Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Halle Berry, Ellen Page, Peter Dinklage, Patrick Stewart, and Ian McKellan.
Set in a futuristic timeline where mutants are being exterminated by machines known as sentinels, Professor Xavier and Magneto send Wolverine back in time to the 1970's to get the younger X and Magneto to join forces again and stop the creation of the sentinels and change the future.
X-Men: Days of Future Past is one of the best superhero films I have ever seen. It has a great mixture of action and humor with some of the best scenes in a movie ever. Ths humor comes mostly from the film being set in the 70s'.
First, let me talk about the acting. Hugh Jackman proves once again why he was casted as Wolverine. He is perfect in the role. He delivers a lot of emotion as the character this time around, with less action than the previous predecessor, The Wolverine. Jackman was vicious in The Wolverine, but he showed a less vicious side in this film. Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart were great in the supporting roles of older Professor X and Magneto. They're not in the movie as much as I thought they would have been, but the scenes that they were in were great. The movie was mostly focused on the X-Men First Class actors, like James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender. They showed such great chemistry as young Professor X and Magneto having to team up again to save the world. Jennifer Lawrence was the atandout in the movie, I felt, playing Mystique. She had a lot of action scenes that sjowed that she was a force to be reckoned with and the emotion ahe showed was so amazing.
The setting for the futuristic timeline the film was set in was so apocalyptic and grim. Mutants getting killed and the sentinels reigning. I was so emotional and speechless, and with the post credits scene, it got me pumped for X-Men Apocalypse. Overall, X-Men: Days of Future Past is one of the best films of the year. It delivers on so many expectations I had and was looking for in a big blockbuster superhero film.
