X-Men:Days of Future Past movie confirmed 1 1

[Comicopolis]

Saw it last night and thought it was great - far superior to the original material.

 

Apart from the Sentinels - they were rubbish.

My wife and I just saw it for something to do out of the cold in Auckland. I can't review it any better than Dice just did, though with a few minor edits.

 

Saw it tonight. I loved it.

Sentinels were awesome.

Quicksilver (whom I was ready to hate) was awesome.

Everything about it was well done and can't wait to buy it on Blu-Ray.

 

PS. I want more Quicksilver!

 

 

Why does the creative license they take with the X-Men seem to make a good movie, and the creative license they take with the ASM franchise makes for a terrible one?

 

the way the story is written. A great story can make up for things.

In ASM:

Electro is terrible. His dialogue from the start is corny ( you like me! )

Why do they have to add a "Joel Schumacher" type origin? He really has to fall into a vat filled with Eels? ( why is there a vat of eels in the building? )

The crazy looking scientist with the Kramerized hairstyle with the german accent. He is way to over the top and again a "Joel Schumacher" character.

The tacked on Rhino at the end was awful.

Even the way they did the Green Goblin bothered me. He has some form of disease that mutates him so he looks like a goblin? How about he has a disease that affects his appearance so much that he decides to wear a mask?

 

There isn't anything like that in Xmen Days of Future Past.

Cool flick

Caught it last night with the kids. We all enjoyed it. Even my 10 year old who I was afraid might be a bit too young for it.

DOFP was great. Saw it with my family - my wife and step-daughter, who are far removed from comics got it, had questions about characters at the end and really liked it. My step-son thought it was great and loved the sentinels.

 

Personally, I liked that it was very story-driven and not balls-out action all the time. There are movies that are perfect fits for that (Like Cap 2) but DOFP was a really cool story that played out.

I'm just thankful for this film and CA: The Winter Soldier for showing everyone that you can still produce a quality comic book film that appeals to everyone and that movie can be both financially and critically successful. *cough*take notes Sony*cough*

I often wonder the same thing and have come to the conclusion that people likes what they likes.

Well, thank GOD for H'Wood! Where would we be if it wasn't for them coming along and saving all this garbage from the comic books.

X-Men:DOFP did have humor,but it wasn't cheesy like ASM2.

I haven't seen ASM2,and I'm not going to.

DOFP was a really good flick. I still can't figure out why, like in First Class, they felt the need to drop 1 completely out of place F bomb in the dialogue. It's so useless and will turn off a lot of parents. Also, I thought the Sentinels were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay advanced for the time period and overall bothersome compared to the books. Also, one issue:

 

 

How was Magneto able to control all of the Sentinels merely by having some metal intertwined in their systems? I can understand physically controlling them (making arms and legs move) but their firing systems and their computers? And he's able to control 8 of them at once while flying in a stadium and himself and fighting other people? That's stretching it.

Yes, because that is exactly what it is all about.

See - that's why Salinger wouldn't let anybody make a movie out of his life's work.

Parents still get freaked out over F-bombs?

That's kind of a bummer. I'd expect someone like John Byrne to have a much more thought-provoking and philosophical response to DOFP, especially with everyone looking at him for a reaction.

 

I get what he's saying, and I am 100% in agreement with how it feels, and I would absolutely feel the same way - I just don't think vocalizing it in that fashion paints yourself in a good light.

I'm guessing that in JB's comic book writing career he never messed around with anybody else's published comic work then?

And how was it out of place?

It was cussing for cussing's sake. Lord knows, I'm no prude, but it felt completely out of place. My guess is the violence and the Wolvie butt shot could've garnered a PG-13, but it's like the F bomb was dropped in to make sure it got there. It serves no purpose in the film. Or at least, it serves little purpose. It served even less purpose in the XMFC movie.
