Part 1 (Winter Soldier).
Okay, I've sorted out the aforementioned jackassery (vehicle problems), and I'm back on schedule.
So, for my second summer film....
X-Men: Days Of Future Past (2014)
Previous X-Men reviews...
Now to this flick.
Rundown...
- Is it "the biggest superhero movie ever"? Mmmm, yeah. Yeah, it just might be.
- I actually thought it had more meat to it than Avengers.
- Avengers 2 has its work cut out.
- Definitely the best of the X-Men flicks, hands down.
- It all built to this. This is the payoff.
- ...until "Age Of Apocalypse".
- Hard to go more in depth without spoiling everything...
- Okay, put it this way....if you weren't a fan of X3, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
- You kind of HAVE to have followed the other 6 flicks (or, had a refresher marathon) to know what's going on.
- I still think "Winter Soldier", was slightly better, but this comes a decimal close.
- I dunno, come to think of it, they might even be tied...tough call.
- Definitely worth it, definitely go see it.
All righty, quick update to "
Big summer 2014 movie preview", I mentally added "
Transcendence", and "
Lucy", to it, bumping it up to 8 films, but "
Transcendence", colossally bombed, and my own cousin told me it was boring, and Red Letter Media tore it to shreds, so, I'll wait for video.
And, I simply decided against "
Amazing Spiderman 2", so, we're back down to 6.
Everyone's raving about "
Godzilla", so, that'll probably be next.
Sometime in the remaining days of this week, or early next week,

"Godzilla" is okay. It has some nice visual ideas, I guess they really took a chance on this director (a young British guy who only directed "Monsters" a couple years ago, talk about a jump in budgets!) I'm not really sure what its overarching purpose was, aside from doing a high budget Godzilla movie that doesn't reek of shit. As you probably already know, Bryan Cranston's only in it for about 25 minutes!
I don't know if you have time to read all this, but if you do, ugh, ugh, ugh:

"As best I can tell, their ideal society best resembles Blade Runner, but without all those Asian people cluttering up the streets." <--funniest quote from the above.
The pure products of America go crazy, huh? All hail the new Dork Enlightenment.
