Movie Review: X-Men Days of Future Past is Beyond Expectation

X-Men Days of Future Past (2014) Movie Review, X-Men Days of Future Past Box Office Collection, X-Men Days of Future Past First day Collection

X-Men Days of Future Past released this Friday 23 May, 2014 is one of the biggest releases this day. The movie had already become famous even before its release. IMDB will not give a rating of 9+ to any movie, there should be something very special and there is. This X-Men series movie is the best one in the series till date. With enhanced technology, action and Sci-Fi, movies delivers what it promises to deliver.



Movie Title- X-Men Days of Future Past
Release: May 23, 2014
Cast- Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Jennifer Lawrence
Director- Bryan Singer
IMDB rating- 9/10

Movie Summary: Movie starts in a world that is almost destroyed by machines called Sentinels. Not only Mutants, but the entire human race is on the risk of being ended unless some superhero comes forward to save the prestigious New York city. Then, enters our hero, The Wolverine/Logan (Hugh Jackman).

Logan has to go back in time (in 1973) to change events that took place on a specific day involving young Raven/Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and Professor X (James McAvoy). This is where past meets the present. The villain here is played by Peter Dinklage who is behind the concept of Sentinels.

Review: X-Men Days of Future Past is no doubt the best movie in the X-Men series, at least that's why I think. The movie keeps you bound from the very beginning and till the end. Packed with many big names, the movie gives you what you can expect from it, Entertainment and Action. Hugh Jackman is as always awesome and perfect in his role with some catchy scenes. Lawrence also seems doing justice with her role as Mystique. While Stewart and McKellen have very short appearance in the movies, their younger versions McAvoy and Fassbender play their parts perfectly. The movies seems perfect, but it might take some effort for audience to digest watching the so-in-control Professor X as an alcoholic.

The movie as expected, is full of action. The best scene was Magneto's jail break sequence, which you will have to watch yourself to feel the action. Other action scenes were also good and catching.

Overall, the movie is nice and worth watching. So, grab your tickets and go watch it.

Box Office Collection: X-Men Days of Future Past is set to collect around $53.1 million on its very first day of release. The movie is expected to cross $150 million mark in the first weekend of its release.

My Rating: 8/10

Movie Review: Godzilla (2014)

Godzilla, one of the two Hollywod movies released this Friday 16th May 2014, is already a hit. Not only in the US, but in other parts of World, the movie is getting good response. Just to remind you, this Godzilla is not a sequel of its previous version from 1998 and the new one is far better than the previous one.




Movie Title: Godzilla
Release: May 8, 2014 (US) and May 16 (Rest of world)
Director: Gareth Edwards
Cast: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston
IMDB Rating: 8.0/10

Godzilla Movie Summary: Talking about the story of the movie Godzilla, it is somewhat inspired by the first version of Godzilla from 1998, but at the same place, the movie is quite different. The story starts with Joe Brody (Bryan Cranston), who is an engineer with a nuclear plant in Japan in 1999. He feels something fishing going on underground, but is being mistaken for seismic movements until an earthquake hits and gupls down Joe's plant along with her wife Sandra.

15 years later, the story starts back when Ford Brody (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), Joe's son who is a bomb technician in US army, has to go to Japan to get his dad released who was caught tresspassing into the nuclear plant in order to find answers to his questions. That is when, actual story starts. The introduction of an unexpected creature is what that bring action in the movie. Then, there is another one who is probably a good one. A good monster and a bad one. The movie also has a message for those who mind it. Watch the movie for the rest story.

My Review: Well, in one sentence, this Godzilla movie is worth watching, better than its 1998 version. When you go watch this one, do not already create an image of the monster, then you will probably enjoy even more. The movie is full of action and somewhat of tension. If you enjoy a new subject and want to watch something different from regular superhero-villain movies, this one is for you. Being a movie lover, I do not really judge the good-bad of a movie before watching it.

In the scale of 10, I would give this one a 7 rating. Director Gareth Edwards did a nice job with the camera capturing the best shots ever. Acting part was also quite good from all leading and supporting actors. The movie is overall good and worth watching.
