X-Men: Days of Future Past

So now we come to the most recent X-Men movie and the best one so far. Maybe when X-Men Apocalypse comes out, that'll be my favourite. But, for now, it's this one. What's the story? It takes place after The Wolverine and Storm, Logan, Charles and Magneto are arriving in Moscow and it turns out they're in a war against machines called the Sentinels and they've already been around the world and killed many mutants and humans. When they get there, Bobby, Kitty, Bishop, Colossus, Warpath, Sunspot and Blink are all there and they explain what they're doing there. Apparently, Kitty not only has the power to walk through walls, but she also has the power to send people's consciences into they're younger body so it's like time travel. Charles explains that the Sentinels were originally created by a scientist named Bolivar Trask played by Peter Dinklage in 1973. And the reason they were able to create them is because Mystique wanted to kill him because he captured, tortured and killed so many mutants. So one day she found him and killed him but she was captured and tortured herself and the scientist who working for Trask copied her power and gave them to the Sentinels to adapt to any mutant. Charles then gets the idea to have Kitty send his mind into his younger body so he can get to her and stop her from killing him because originally the government wasn't going to allow the Sentinels to be created but after she killed Trask it persuaded them to create them so mutants would never kill anyone ever again, but Kitty says it wouldn't work because he was talking about going back decades so if she tried it, his mind would be torn apart. Logan then volunteers to do it himself because since he has his healing power, his mind would be fine. So later Charles, Magneto, Bobby, Kitty and Logan go inside a room so she can send him back. She does and he wakes-up in his younger body and goes to the X-Mansion. While he doing that, the Mystique from that time is trying to find Trask. Logan arrives at the mansion and meets Hank and Charles, who are still played by the people who played them in First Class. Also Charles can walk because of a serum that Hank made for him. But, so long as he takes it he can't use his powers. Logan explains to them about Mystique and the future. Charles at first doesn't really care but after some think he decides to help. They explain that Erik is in a prison in the Pentagon. They decide to see Peter Maximoff, A.K.A Quicksilver, to help them get Erik out to help them. They do and we get a hilarious scene with Quicksilver showing off his powers. Watch.
And the rest, I won't spoil. So what's good about the movie? Well for one thing, this one has the best action in any X-Men movie yet. And it also combines the cast from the original series with the X-Men First Class and that's really clever considering the fact that every actor does do an excellent performance. Another actor who I think does a brilliant performance is Peter Dinklage as Trask. The fact that he's a great actor already as I've heard and he supposed to be really popular with his performance in the t-v show Game of Throne. I just think he's amazing. What I really like about the film is actually the story and the way it's told. And the end is amazing. I won't spoil it but it is brilliant. I can't believe they were able to do what they did. And also this was the movie that brought back Bryan Singer as the director and he was able to create a really epic movie that everyone loved and was considered to be one of the best superhero movies ever.  And when I made my 10 favourite superhero movie picture list I put this one on it. And hopefully when Apocalypse comes out we'll be able to see every single X-Men we've seen come together to have a huge fight with Apocalypse like when all the Avengers will fight Thanos in Infinity Wars. So, everyone, that was all of my X-Men reviews. Hope you all enjoyed them and if you haven't watched them yet, definitely do. Next to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this is the 2nd best Superhero franchise ever.
