The X-Men send Wolverine to the past in a desperate effort to change history and prevent an event that results in doom for both humans and mutants.

Ok I’ve been planning to watch this one for the past four days and it’s only just now that I’ve wheeled myself to the local cinema to watch it, so we can also file this one under ‘it’s about time’. Though just recently I heard something interesting about the X-Men movie franchise being that the seven movies have grossed over $2.5 billion so far and should you go and see this one and watch the post-credits sequence they have us on the hook for future 8th movie.

Judging by some of the previous movies it seemed that the franchise might have lost its way a little bit and over the past two movies the franchise has started to get itself back on track and with Days of Future Past I believe that its finally achieved this. The time travel aspect of this movie is brilliant (this is not my favourite time travel movie but I think it’s fairly up on the list) and on a side note the filmmakers have come up with my second favourite fictional JFK assassination conspiracy theory and while I might not have mentioned in my review for First Class I also loved the filmmaker’s interpretation of the Cuban Missile Crisis. For those of you out there who might be coming a bit late to this Franchise you don’t really have watched any of the other X-Men movies to understand what’s going on though it would help to understand some of the references that you watch X-Men: First Class.

This does get a little dark in places with the mutants and the whole extermination of the mutants but on the whole everything that you would expect from an ‘X-Men movie’ its good popcorn eating fun. I was very impressed with James McAvoy’s performance and the moment he had opposite Patrick Stewart. I will say this has what might be considered one of the funniest fight scenes that I have seen for a while.
