X-Men: Days of Future Past

[DiFabio]

So, am I wrong in thinking that Storm gets raped by that Sentinel in the trailer? Is that Halle Berry's short scene, showing up then getting killed?

Costumes have never been very inspired so no change there. We're also well aware by now that this series is Wolverine and his X-men as bransen2099 just put it. If anyone has enjoyed the previous films they should enjoy this I'd expect. So me for one. But if they eventually reboot and get closer to the comics, cool.

Hah, gotcha. They did reboot it, gave it one film and now they're going straight back to Wolverine.

How about a rereboot.

Anybody thinking this is anything other than Wolverine's Days of Future Past are kidding themselves.

But Kitty is on the poster.

It's the only logical way to finish telling her story. And they make Prof. X watch, and he cries, and the audience feels bad for him, etc.

Still wondering how he's still alive anyways

The trailer didn't give me any indication this was a Wolverine movie.

There's no shame in this being primarily another Wolverine movie. Wolverine's a great character.

Also, how does the post-credits ending of the Wolverine tie into this one? Wouldn't Wolverine have noticed this "dark future", sentinel **** going down on the news? I don't get it. How did it get all apocalyptic and doomsdayish now? Everything looked fine at the airport until Charles and Erik popped up and said it was bad.

Or has that not happened yet? If that's the case, how did Charles and Erik know?

Because trouble follows Charles around? Everything was fine until he came rolling in out of nowhere

There isn't, but judging from the interviews and trailers, this really seems like a coming of age story for Professor X.

I'm not seeing that personally based on the trailers, but it's fine if it is.

As long as the movie is good I don’t really mind, but the trailer in my opinion didn’t really focus on Wolverine, but more of the conflict of Past Charles, and Erik. X2 was a Wolverine movie, and I thought it was great.

Plastic surgery Phoenix showed Charles da future.

Skynet Sentinels.

..the Sentinels look like straight-up post Taco Bell *******..

It's one thing to clinically post emoticons.. but mate - let me tell ya, I belly laughed at that one for at least 20 seconds.

Exactly and Wolverine looks grey in this trailer as for everyone else so i’m guessing Erik and Charles grab Logan and wait a few years to go back in time.

Clearly, you're watching them with a heightened sense of denial.

 

[pturtle]

Not at all, Wolverine is mostly in the first half of the trailer, while Erick and Charles are shown consistently throughout the whole trailer.

Pturtle and Nova will be happy

Bad *** Digest:

Fox unveiled an extended sequence from X-Men: Days of Future Past at CinemaCon today and, as an avowed DOFP skeptic, I have to admit I was impressed. The sequence we saw included an action scene that is, without a doubt, the best action sequence in Bryan Singer’s filmography. Granted that’s a low, low bar, but this would have been a solid showing from any comic book movie.

The sequence was in the future, and Sentinels are dispatched to find and kill mutants living underground. Their delivery system (and the world) is reminiscent of The Matrix, but once the Sentinels - who can adapt to any situation and change their form - drill into the secret base it gets real good.


The mutants on hand: Sunspot, Iceman, Bishop, Kitty Pryde, Blink and Warpath. Kitty Pryde and Bishop immediately run off while the other X-Men keep the semi-liquid metal robots busy. There are good action beats using the characters’ powers, especially Blink, whose portals allow Warpath to do some really fun run and jumps onto the Sentinels. Iceman glides around on an ice slide, and Sunspot becomes a being of lava and fire as he blasts robots.


Kitty and Bishop (who uses Sunspot’s fire to charge his big dumb gun) are running off to a closet someplace. Bishop lays down and Kitty starts massaging his temples, and it becomes clear that she’s sending his consciousness back in time. The others are buying them minutes… with their lives. A Sentinel snaps Sunspot’s neck. Iceman has his head popped off and is crushed underfoot. Blink gets skewered. Warpath gets blasted to smithereens.


But it was worth it! As the Sentinel breaks into the closet, blasting fire, Kitty looks up and says, “Too late, *******!” and everything disappears. The past has been changed.


The action was pretty good, and while the designs of the characters are a touch X-Treme for my taste, the tone worked. I’m not sure how Kitty Pryde managed to learn how to send people back in time, but maybe that’s addressed. Or maybe not.


What’s intriguing is that this sets up the possibility that Bishop goes back in time himself - could he end up a foil for Wolverine in the '70s? Could he have gone back to the '90s and that’s how we’ll get cameos from those characters? Obviously he somehow fails, because they end up sending Wolverine to the past. Unless they’re sending multiple people back, Terminator-style.


I was surprised at how good the sequence was, and how it looked only moderately cheap (the X-Men movies have been really, really cheap looking). This is the first time I find myself looking forward to this movie.

So Bishop's a villain?!

I'll eat my hat if I end up liking THIS better than Cap!

Your hat is safe. This isn't as good as the Cap opening action scene.

Hilarious how an action scene with Batroc the Leaper trumps an action scene with X-men & Sentinels!
