    Let's hope it's as good as it can be!

    That looks kick arse to me! Properly epic. I'm looking forward to checking it out.

    It'll be good to have Singer back on board (X3 was full of action, but devoid of anything else that made X1 and X2 good). The last X-Men movie was rather good too, I enjoyed that one quite a lot, so I'm very much looking forward to this follow-up.

    Well...yeah...it's just that the movies seemed a "little" more grounded in "reality" than the comics, & they way they did it seemed fairly conclusive. I have no doubt they'll come up with a clever explanation of some kind, just, y'know...

    Well in the after credit scene of the travesty that X3 was, Xavier wakes up in the body of that dude in the vegitative state. Now how it is that he still looks like himself. . .. . who knows.

    Dancing between the fun and the all-out ridiculous with surprisingly nimble feet, X-Men: Days of Future Past is an absolute blast.

    Just got back from seeing it. Wow, wow, and more wow. So much going on that I need to see it again, after I see the new Sandler movie, of course.
    The stuff going on between the past and the future, loved how they did it.
     
    The deaths of the XMEN several times was kind of shocking. Iceman gets his head taken off and Colossus gets ripped in half by the Sentinels one of the times they die. Everyone gets wiped out. Also, the end credits scene with Apocalypse... Don't know much about him, but I'm stoked.

    Anyhoo, trying not to spoil, spoil, spoil, but tis hard to do. I'm giving this an A+. I may have to do this in 3D next time, and I can't wait to add it to the collection.

    Hmmm... I enjoyed it, but for me it did feel a little bit formulaic and going by the numbers...

    Just saw it again. We were going to see the new Transformers movie, but there wasn't a late showing. I also thought about Malificent, but I hate that hag...
    We opted for this once more. I saw alot of things I didn't the first time. Still enjoyed the hell out of it, even though Charles acts like a little bitch through most of it.
    Guessing it's out on blu ray soon because it's at the discount theater. Yay for me.
