X Men: Days of Future Past

What if your future was in the past? No, this is not the review of the upcoming Outlander Series on STARZ (although I’m DYING for that to start). Rather, this is the theme of X-Men: Days of Future Past. To save the future, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), must be put under by Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page) using her super-powers to keep his body in the present, and ship his mind back in time. Set the flux capacitor to 1973. We're going back to  the 70’s! Can you dig it?! Go back, get the bad guys (or gal in this case), change history, save us all. 

There's a line that is almost exactly like the one Princess Leah used in Star Wars: "Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!"
 

Die hard comic fans will cry "Wait! Wolverine doesn't time travel!" and "Kitty is the one that can go back in time with her mind". Well, yah. Movies always change stuff so in DOFP, Wolverine goes because he's bad ass.

What do you get when you go back to the past? Well of course, younger versions of Wolverine, Professor, and Magneto; A different Mystique. A few other oldies but goodies. Some major changes that for some, will be confusing as shit because people that have died / been killed off in other X-movies. Overall, it’s an entertaining movie and one I’d not only see again, but am hopeful for the sequel. Because there’s always  a sequel. 

As with other superhero / comic book movie reviews, here’s the top ten of what you really need to know: 

1. Young versions of the Professor, Magneto are hot! Wolverine in a 70’s denim, a brown leather jacket and aviator glasses….smokin’!
2. James McAvoy as young Charles looks like Eddie Vedder.
   
3. Dwarfism a genetic disorder, right? Thus, creating a mutation. A Mutant. Hmm. Think on that.
4. Early versions of the Sentinals look an awful lot like the Drones in Iron Man 2….just purple.
   
5. I love her bunches, but seriously? Just how many movies can Jennifer Lawrence be in without  burning out like a supernova?
6. Can someone please give Quicksilver a brush?
7. And that little girl on his lap watching television? Not Scarlet Witch (she’s his TWIN, so how could she be years younger than him?) He must be babysitting a neighbor kid.
8. No Stan.
9. The Apocalypse and the Four Horsemen are coming in 2016. I wonder what the Mayan Calendar has to say about THAT?
10. Have you ever seen the ending of the Bob Newhart show?

 Or this ending?

Yah. Same thing.
