“X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST”

With the world devastated by war, and mutants in particular facing extinction, Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and his long-time friend/occasional enemy Magneto (Ian McKellen) hatch a plan to send Wolverine’s (Hugh Jackman) consciousness back in time to his younger self in the 1970s in “X-Men: Days of Future Past.”   While there, he must convince the First Class era versions of Xavier and Magneto to put aside their vast differences and bitter rivalry to work together and stop the dark, dangerous future from coming to pass. But it won’t be an easy job, as Charles Xavier in 1973 is in a dark place himself – and it might take meeting his future self to knock him out of a deep depression…

Quicksilver: Catch him if you can in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" (3D)

“X-Men: Days of Future Past”  features more mutants than have ever been on screen together before for a massive adventure launching us from an apocalyptic future back into the world of the First Class team. In Days of Future Past, a years-long world conflict between humans and mutants has taken its toll on their numbers, and now a scant few remain, including Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), Erik “Magneto” Lehnsherr (Ian McKellen), Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page), and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman). Driven to near extinction by the technological terrors unleashed by Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage), the team forms a desperate plan: time travel.

Using Kitty Pryde’s powers, Wolverine’s consciousness will be sent back into his younger self in the 1970s, where he’ll have to track down and help the First Class versions of the characters in order to stop Trask. But that will be even harder than it sounds, as in this era, the X-Men team is just as disparate, with Professor Xavier (James McAvoy) and the rest either at odds or in a low ebb. Can the younger versions of the mutants save their future?

HUGH JACKMAN: BINDING THE PAST AND FUTURE DAYS OF X-MEN

With his near-impervious Adamantium-bonded bones and his remarkable ability to heal, Wolverine has, over the years, become one of the best-loved heroes in the X-Men films and one of the most iconic superheroes to make the leap from comics to the big screen. In 20th Century Fox latest “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” he’ll be tested to the limit as his consciousness is sent back through time to help his friends stop one of the most dangerous threats they’ve faced yet.

X-Men : First Class movie review

X-Men: First Class

Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to prevent nuclear Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-Men.

This is the start of all we know about the X-Men, I am not a avid comic reader, but I was a fan of the late 90's X-men animation series which I' proud to say I still have a collection in tact.  Sad to say that animation series had to end.  But the comics still lived on to this date.  And thousands upon thousands worship Marvel's X-men and has grown quite a large fan base.

I guess you have watched the previous X-men movie trilogy a couple of years ago, which gave way to X-men origins starring Wolverine (Jackman).  Now with this franchise reboot of the X-men, with this X-men First Class as a start, hoping to get a 2nd life on this great Marvel spectacle.

Now is the movie worth the watch?  If you are an X-men fanatic, then there is no doubt, its worth the watch.  The movie starts with the familiar scene from the previous trilogy which shows the young Eric Lehnsherr (Magneto) manipulate metal to his liking.  Then to Charles as he first meets Raven a.k.a. Mystique.  The story focuses on the 2 main leads Eric and Charles, and how they have met, joined hands and then went on their chosen fate.  I have to say, I was quite impressed with the special effects being presented in the movie and I guess one of the most anticipated part of the film other than the great effects was the appearance of a cameo, you guess it, Mr. Adamantium himself...

Overall, it was a great movie experience as we get to know how the X-men came about, but there were scenes that I think were a little bit dragging.  Beast, Mystique, Charles are ok, but Magneto was the best portrayal for me.  Enjoy the movie and lastly you must be asking, should we wait for the end credits to finish?  Maybe they got something hidden at the end as almost all Marvel movies have done, sorry but for this case, the end credits is the end.  So pack up after the movie.  See you in the cinemas!
