2014 started out as something to look forward to with promise,
hope, and potential, especially with the numerous blockbuster film franchises
and sequels hitting theaters throughout the year. The comic book movies in
particular were especially stacked, with not one but FOUR movies laid out in
the year's schedule, and all of them Marvel films featuring extraordinary
superheroes and characters.
Now comes one of the most anticipated sequels in 20th Century
Fox's long running X-Men film franchise, which brings together an ensemble cast
of stars and the return of the man who directed the first two installments of
the franchise. Yes, old and new generations literally crossover for the very
first time, in a film that sees Bryan Singer back at the helm for the live
action adaptation of one of the most controversial and beloved X-Men stories of
all time - X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Having already opened in various international territories, the
film is possibly THE BEST X-Men film ever with the array of talents and mutants
starring in this tentpole wonder. Seeing the film last Wednesday, I can truly
say this is something any X-Men fan, newbie, and those who have had numerous
issues with past films in relation to continuity, will definitely want to see.
