X-men Redemption ( 3% spoilerish review )

X-men: Days of Future Past was a complex yet very comprehensive, well-written, intense and one of the best adaptation of X-men saga and comics on the big screen. It is the very redemption of the X-men movie franchise itself and it's future installments. I have to admit that I was not very enthusiastic before watching this, and that's where I get so attached on the characters during and after watching. It felt like the first X-men movie but with better impact consolidated together. Time Travel is a tricky and hard to explain due to the paradox it causes on timelines but the director and the writers delivered it with detail and care that you will not look for plotholes. This incarnation is a witty interpretation of comics and animation to provide us a very emotional and breathtaking cinematic experience. The cliffhangers will make you grab your seat becuase you are worried what will happen next to the leads.I also like the fact that the director don't spend so much emphasis on CGI but rather on character and plot development, though CGI helped a lot to achieved the realistic approach of the film. The character dynamics was also very evident and well-thought out.The actors was exemplary for a superhero movie, that it may have the chance to shine in the Oscars Academy , James McAvoy was notable for that. Wolverine's character is good when he is along with the other X-men than his solo films. And the Quicksilver fiasco was resolved, I am impressed and will look forward for more of his cameos.Seeing James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender,Jennifer Lawrence,Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen along with others in one film was glorious to watch. I'm not a fan of the Sentinel designs but it works very well on the film incarnation, the future sentinels reminds me a lot of the Phalanx. The film also sets a possibility of future X-Men Saga installments, i.e: Astonishing X-men, Age of Apocalypse, Onslaught ,House of M and etc. I can talk about this all day, but I have to stop and give you the rating. Rate: 12 out of 10. Yes. This is the x-men movie that I have waited for so long and it came true. You don't have to be a comics geek to understand the story. Although watching the past X-men Films will aid you in understanding more. This is not a boring film as it also gives balance to action sequences that will take your breath for seconds. If you want to bring children, just guide them because there are some dark sequences, mutant violence and a bit of sexy on it (Mystique, anyone? and yeah, Blink was an eye-candy). If you are an X-men fan, this is made for you. For non-fans, you will be taken to one of the best superhero movies this year (along with Captain America: The Winter Soldier). By the way, wait for the post-credit scene, it will be worth your time. I will surely watch again.
