X-Men: Days of Future Past

[moose]

This story has been done before but my favorite take on it was the Wolverine and Xmen cartoon .I thought the handled the story great they could have adopted a similar style and rehashed it to fit in to a movir

I still had that sense of anticipation and excitement even on my 3rd viewing. Top-notch filmmaking.

I’m leaving in an hour for my second viewing

This film has given me a greater appreciation of the series as a whole, X3 included. I'm glad this film does not disregard X3. That film is not the abomination people make it out to be. Its crimes are killing characters that fans didn't want killed and generally not being exactly like the comics (which all the films are guilty of, no?). Setting aside those complaints it was no less entertaining than the others. And now Scott, Jean and Xavier are alive again thanks to DOFP. X3 is the ROTJ of the franchise, not AOTC.

Just came back from seeing it. I very much loved it, I thought the whole third act was amazingly done and well put together with the future scenes. I made sure to stay for the after credit scene, awesome to FINALLY see Apocalypse with his four horsemen.

I for one, would like it to see Wolverine as one of the horsemen. It would be an interesting take to see him as a villain.

I agree, I don't get the hate for X3, Wolverine stabbing Jean scene always gets to me, great music leading up to that.

While its not as good as X1/2, its still entertaining and there were some great parts in it.

Its not total garbage is what i'm saying.

But it no longer matters, just throw out X1/2/3/The Wolverine now.

A minor nitpick

Why did Fassneto think killing Mystique would do any good? Trask only needed a sample of her DNA to carry out his plan, he wasn't going to interrogate her. Unless they carried her dead body away from the scene somehow and removed all trace of blood but that would have been far more awkward than merely talking her down and everyone walking out alive

See below.

I had forgotten about the X3 ending.

Can you blame me.

I got the impression from this post that you thought X3 was crap but glad to see my impression was mistaken.


My thinking though is that you don't need to throw out those films. You still have to watch those films to lead into the events of DOFP to explain why the characters are where they're at in this film. The events of those films are still relevant to Wolverine/us because he/we remember them. Its simply the case that events will not play out like any of those films from now on.

I thought it was because Erik knew Raven so well. He knew she wouldn't give up until she killed Trask.

I think it was a little more than that, as well.

It almost seems like a twisted reflection of Raven's act of selflessness at the end. That Magneto somehow thought that killing Raven to save Trask would somehow convince him that mutants weren't the monsters he'd made them out to be.

Well, its not X1/2/FC/DOFP quality but not a complete disaster either.

I was just joking there like I always do.

The only real disaster in the the franchise is X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It reminds me of a decent fan-made film on YouTube.

To make Origins an actual good film, you'd have to cut so much fat that there is no film left.

 

[Decoyoctopus10]

One thing I don't understand is where is Magneto in the new timeline?

 

[Nipshank]

He had a change of heart and is now in the construction business.

 

[Darkseed]

While I agree Origins had lackluster moments I rather enjoyed it. Perhaps I enjoyed the relationship aspects between Hugh and the female lead and Liev.

in regards to DoFP....QSilver was great....I hope we get a different take on Avengers but that he is done just as well

I like to think that the Sentinels never killed the X-Men in that hideout,because after the events in 73 the Sentinel project was shut down and never existed.And therefore the X-Men never had to go to that hideout in the first place which explains why they all dissappeared in that room at the same time Mystique walked away in 73.She didn't kill Trask and wasn't captured.

The events of X1-X3 would still happen so i don't understand the meaning behind Jean and Scott being alive in 2023,if there is any meaning behind it at all?

Must be a ripple in the water kind of thing, changing anything in the past directly and indirectly creates a ****load of variables that ripple out - Scott and Jean don't happen to die as they originally did even though their deaths weren't tied to the sentinels in the first place......mind you, if that's the case, who knows what other bad $**t could happen instead...
