X-Men: Days Of Future Past

[USUC]

I love x-men, captain america, the marvel movies, ironman, star trek, batman.... Love, love, love them. Mindless entertainment at its finest.

Even Gambit?

Its funny how the relatively minor character of Mystique in the original films, seems to have a larger and larger role in each of these new films, almost as if they are cashing in on Jennifer Lawrence's hunger games fame.

Almost?

Am I the only one who thought First Class was better than Days of Future Past? ANSWER IN THIS THREAD.

I think I like DoFP more SORRY.

I didn't enjoy DoFP at all. Really didn't like it. I've only seen it once, though, so maybe I'd like it on a second viewing. I remember finding it kind of monotonous. The story didn't grab me and the action scenes weren't good enough to make up for it.

I think I liked first class better, it was an interesting concept, to restart the x men with younger actors and leave the old cast behind, which was then immediately abandoned in favour of dragging out the old cast again, and jettisoning most of the new actors from the first film, in favour of those who had done well in other films.

DOFP suffered a bit from last stand syndrome, where so many new mutents are around, that we barely get to know them before they are gone again.

Plus first class had the Micheal Ironside seal of quality.

I liked how First Class was actually a period piece and it really felt like "The X-Men in the sixties." Whereas Days of Future Past had nothing that needed a seventies setting (okay it had Nixon in it but he was just a detail.) I liked cool as fuck Nazi hunter Magneto. And I agree that I didn't like how they spent a whole movie putting a team together then just said "oh most of them died between movies and Havok's in Vietnam but that scene's kind of pointless" in Days of Future Past.

Which one was Havok again?

The one who shoots energy blasts out of his body. He's cyclops' brother (much older brother in the movies.)
