<big><big>X-Men DOFP</big></big>
Before the movie :
As i already said a few times, i love comic book movies and X-men is one of my favorite franchise, i never read comic books so i don't compare the movie to it. After The Wolverine which was great and all the hype around DOFP i could only have high expectations for this one.
Movie Plot :
In the future, Sentinels are robots designed to kill mutants and humans who may have mutants kids.
A group of mutants are always evading when Sentinels attack thanks to Kitty Pryde's power which allows her to send someone's consciousness into his body a few days in the past and move away before the attack happen.
Pryde's group is joined by Charles, Storm and Magneto, the Professor asks her to send him back in 1973 to allow him to prevent Mystique from killing Trask, murder which will be seen as an example of the mutant threat.
Unable to support the time travelling, Xavier will have to rely on Wolverine whose healing factor will allow him to go back as far as 50 years ago, Logan will have to deal with Magneto and a broken Charles Xavier to save the future.
My impressions :
+ The camp scene where we see all the mutants and people who help them imprisoned is a clever echo of the first scene of X-men and Magneto's youth in a Nazi camp.
+ The design of the Sentinels in the future, even if i would have preferred them to look like the older version.
+ The fights against Sentinels shows how powerful they are even compared to some of the best mutants.
+ The friend/enemy relation between Charles and Erik (which is good in all the x-men movies).
+ Wolverine badassery.
- The "Hulk activator" for Beast and the explanation of why Charles is walking.
- Would have loved to see more of the Old School Sentinels.
- Why Mystique's DNA ? wouldn't Rogue be more accurate (sorry, it's vague but i try to avoid spoilers).
To conclude, it's a nice film, the timeline problems aren't that important and i enjoyed my time watching it even if, for me, this isn't the best movie of the franchise it's still a good one and you won't regret watching it.
