So this film has a similar layout to The Butterfly Effect another amazing and ingenious film that stars Ashton Kutcher.
So you can tell this plot will be confusing, jumping back and forth to the First Class era and the present!
This seventh instalment in the X-Men film series (if you count the Wolverine films too) has to maybe be the best in certain ways such as at last seeing a positive ending (besides the ending in The Wolverine), brilliant plot development and a big cast to help make this film sensational. However the film's plot can be considered a "complicated twister" since it seems to go back and forth and by the end, it will have altered events we already know from the comics and films thus changing nearly all the knowledge the audience/ fans and I know. That's why this film is intriguing but also difficult to get to grip with. And I hope it's future sequel will answer mine and all my MARVEL friend's big questions that the film left us with.
I've been working an hour early and heading home an hour early thanks to the new hours I work because I have a car and can get to work and home quicker. So that's been challenging to adjust to for myself as I don't like change. Also this weekend, Kurt, Lewis and several others all joined me for MCM Comic Con in London which I aim to write a long post up asap after this one and before my birthday on June 6th!
I cannot believe I have now reached just over 2300 views in total. Cheers guys for taking a look at my work!
But then I saw the new official trailer in mid April this year, and this time I was awarded action, more teasers and a not so sad atmosphere which I felt was reassuring me that the film won't be as sad as I expected.
John Ottman returns (after doing X-Men 2's score) and did a real good job making the audience feel tense and pumped up with his score (just like Henry Jackman did in X-Men: First Class!) When Wolverine woke up twice in the film I heard the song "The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face" by Roberta Flack (that's a track worth listening to on your own if you ever wanna feel insightful or think deep for a moment) it's also one of my mum's all time favourite songs. Watching the friends arguing now while in the first film they were all good chums was tough to watch a little for me especially because even though I argue with my best friends, I still think they are the best but of course they have never done anything like what happened between Charles and Erik. It was good to see them talk it out again but "old habits die hard" for our 2 who still had different views on everything. And I really did feel for Charles as he had lost everything and felt so heartbroken and was too afraid to continue as well as fear for the future, it took a lot of convincing to get him to get back up and help out.
Once you've seen it, you may compare the atmosphere and tense plot to Star Wars Episode III - Revenge Of The Sith in musical score, drama and betrayal while seeing many of your favourite characters killed (sounds lovely, right?)
Kurt and I were comparing (Evan Peters) to (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) who will be playing the speedy superboy in the next upcoming and high anticipated Avengers sequel, Avengers: Age Of Ultron. We think Evan did a flawless job already and wonder if Aaron (who's famous for being the comic-book hero, Kick Ass) can out do or even match Evan's performance, personality and acting? Who knows? We'll have to wait and see.
Plus a lot of these new X-Men have amazing powers too. A girl called Blink had the ability to create portals and send mutants back and forth. During the opening fight with the Sentinels, that techinque certainly made the fight head spinning and creative. I deffinitely liked her power (it reminded me of the video game, Portal!)
I dislike those kind of endings where so much happened and only the main character knows so much of it. I'd hate to be like that as I would want everyone to know, yet I don't know if they would even believe me at all? Also would it mess with time and space and the fabric of reality? Not really! As this shit doesn't happen in our reality!
If that was me (well it sorta is with my level of knowledge on certain interests such as Nintendo, Marvel, Star Wars, Pokemon, Kingdom Hearts etc) it's tough knowing a lot and not getting to share it with others frequently because they might not share the same interests and it's like not having someone to tell a whole story to, but then again that's what this blog is for. And in time I will bring such interests up and share my knowledge while learning to hold back on the spoilers. And I do talk to people about these interests, I just don't know if they know as much as me?!
Our terrifying and unmerciful Sentinels looked quite accurate to the comic-book designed ones when they were revealed back in the 70s. But when we compare their appearance and unbelievable power that has upgraded them into unbeatable horrors that would send shivers down your spine because they will be the last thing you'll see. And all because they have a power that was put to an intelligent and unbeatable use!
I tried my best to write the layout similar to my Captain America: The Winter Soldier review but I think I did an okay job and haven't given a lot of spoilers away (unless you watch the trailers!)
I may have had a disappointing time at the X-Men Days Of Future Past Leicester Square Premier, but this definitely made me feel better again about the characters and I think even Kurt felt the same but we both still think we deserved to see the actors again fairly in the future, should they ever turn up to Comic Con.
Oh and by the way, stick around after the credits (as in after the credits), the secret at the end was clear proof that a sequel is on the way. But also me and the others were all looking at each other and guessing who that mysterious and very powerful being is. Now I know thanks to the name of the next X-Men title but most of all, we all hope that the next one will answer all our questions! Since the film has now changed everything and I sort of accept it but hope in the end all will be layed our perfectly and have no more blank points. You need to have seen every other X-Men film before you take on this thrilling sequel. I hope you enjoy it like I did and X-perience everything I did.
The teaser has the very emotional track "Journey To The Line".
While this trailer shows more of the plot along with a more positive action like soundtrack.
