X-Men: Days of Future Past





Cast:  Hugh Jackman,James McAvoy(Charles),Michael Fassbender,Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult(Beast),Peter Dinklage(Trask)
Director: Bryan Singer      
Genre: Action, Sci-Fi, Adventure


Surely doesnt live up to the hype created. Nothing new that we haven't seen before


The dampeners you should be aware of:


  • Hugh Jackman, much to my disappointment, has nothing much to do in this flick. He is just a messenger and that's about it
  • Stories like this have been told over and over again, very basic and very cliche. I dont see anything new in the script accept for changing faces
  • Action, hardly any! More or less time pass
  • VFX, nothing special
  • 3D, nothing extra ordinary
  • This is the first X-Men series where in the mutants look just the way, some ugly bunch of colored species would look, forced in to constitute some movie. Still wondering, if its the story that make them look so bad or it the unrelative and not well defined roles which make them look like a flock of unwanted ugly characters



What you can sleep over:

The character of Raven, who is the central target around which  the entire story is woven. Jennifer Lawrence is completely wasted. We wanted to see a very strong opponent in here, sad that
she was only a mutant, no better than Kangna Ranaut from 'Krrish 3' :)


You may look forward to:


  • James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, had significant roles to play. They constituted the main characters and to their assigned roles, played well
  • Peter Dinklage's role was that of any regular scientist in a sci-fi flick, just a little more stronger. He is a gray character, which every businessman is :) 






My Rating: 2/5
