Did you ever tell us what you thought of x men days of future past?

I enjoyed the movie, a lot. I was purposely going into this with lower expectations, but Singer and crew were successful without it.

There was real emotion during the battles against the Sentinels in the future. You could feel the desperation, and mounting sense they were all going to loose. They way the movie was filmed in darker colors, and somber in general helped to drive it home.

They nailed Blink.  Her power was portrayed as I imagined it would look.

Quicksilver was great. So glad I did not have to eat crow with the naysayers. I can’t wait to see how he is portrayed in the next flick. Loved his “ooops” moment when he found out what Magneto was imprisoned for. The guilt he was feeling later, after seeing what Magneto would do one he was free had me feeling bad for him. He had no idea what he had walked into until it was too late. I imagine he will be a changed man the next time he meets his father.

Magneto has possibly the best arc over the course of the series. I have seen some people who were disappointed at the lack of growth in his younger self. That would have limited the impact of Mckellen’s work. He was in no way prepared to accept a new way of life. He had just spent the last decade oh his locked away. He is still angry, and to expect more of him really shows a lack of understanding in the forces that made this man.

Logan makes perfect sense to be the time traveler. His intro scene, smoking the cigar as he departed the jet was perfect. They don’t dwell too much on him at the expense of other cast members.

Xavier has hit the interesting point of his evolution between First Class, and the original trilogy. Looking forward to seeing where he goes from here.

Raven was the movie. Could she be saved, or was she destined to become the person we meet in the first movies. Lots of emotion with her, and it bled through to me as a viewer.

Singer expertly wiped The Last Stand from the record, with a simple motion. We get the return of two important characters, and solidify the the tragedy of Logan’s unrequited love.

The movie is a different animal from The Avengers, and really can’t be compared apple for apple, so I won’t. 

The would have acted as a wonderful ending to the franchise. I would have preferred a reboot under the Marvel brand, but I am happy enough to leave it in the hands of Fox right now.
