Watch The X-Men Days of Future Past Trailer - IGN (http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/10/29/watch-the-x-men-days-of-future-past-trailer)


cant wait for the new movie next year its gonna be amazing

[Dudebro]

One of the best trailers I've ever seen. I can't wait.

[StarfoxFan2009]

Finally, a proper X-Men sequel no offense to The Last Stand but this one looks like its going to be awesome

[CrispyChicken]

First of all, Ellen Page, yes! :in-love:

Looks really good so far. Hopefully it lives up to the hype. Ian McKellen and his voice are amazing by the way :p

[DrunkN]

Looks like it's directed by the same guy who did X2 and First Class, so sign me up.

[Mikman]

Do you expect that Wolverine will overshadow the other X-Men like he did in other films?

Also, how do you expect the film will explain how Xavier is alive after X-3?

[Dudebro]

I would hope not since that would drastically change the story. Spoilers ahead!

Wolverine dies in the future after Kitty Pride is sent back in time. He attacked a Sentinel base and got slaughtered seemingly as a diversion. Also Xavier died a long time ago and it's one of the causes of the timeline being so badly messed up. Nevermind explaining why he's not dead from X3, that took place in another timeline, they need to explain why he's not long since dead in the future. I love Patrick Stewart but this seems wrong already. Also Magneto is supposed to be a paraplegic and dies quickly too. The trailer seems to show a different version of events.

[Mikman]

Wow. How did you find this out?

I wouldn't mind that Xavier still lives because this is in an alternate timeline, so that doesn't necessarily contradict the previous films, even "X-3."

[Dudebro]

Lots of potential spoilers-
Earth-811 - Marvel Comics Database (http://marvel.wikia.com/Earth-811)
I'm too cheap to buy comics so I read the cliff notes and look at the pretty pictures. Like Wolverine and Storm getting pwned-

[Mikman]

Ah, so it's from the comics. But will that be the film? The trailer shows that Wolverine travels back in time, or, rather he reverses time so that he returns to his younger self.

[Dudebro]

It looks like the film will be taking liberties with the story. From the very start it's different. In the movie it looks like Wolverine will be taking Kitty Prydes place in the time travel angle. In the comic they used her because she was new to the team at the time they want to go back to. Her mind wouldn't be shielded from mental attacks yet and her future self would be able to enter it, her body stays in the future.

That being said they might be teasing us with the trailer. Wolverine might be the first choice but he could die and future Kitty might end up doing it like the comics. That would make fans happy. I'm worried though because in the movies they show Wolverine as weak to mental attacks but in the comics his super healing, years of brain trauma and Xaviers efforts have made him very hard to read or attack mentally. So it could go either way.

[Mikman]

I want that the other X-men have sufficient importance, but not that Wolverine die.

[Dudebro]

I'd be ok with Wolverine dying early on. He's a played out character and his movie version isn't much like the comics anyways.

[Mikman]

Really? I like Wolverine, although I agree that the films overuse him, but I believe that it's mainly because the actor who plays him is better than some of the other actors.

[Dudebro]

Hugh Jackman is cool but he's a pretty lame Wolverine. In the comics and other media he's much more feral and macho. In the movie he's just some dude who gets mad occasionally and grits his teeth.

[Mikman]

I believe that filmmakers reduced his harsher qualities because they didn't want an R-rated movie which kids couldn't pay to see. It's more about money.

[Dudebro]

I realize that. I just think it sucks.

[Mikman]

I'm no fan of excessive R-rated material like gore and nudity, but that filmmakers G-rate films so that they make more money annoys me sometimes, especially when it's unrealistic and/or untrue to source material. However, I don't know much about Wolverine from the comics, so I can't comment too much on any differences.

[Dudebro]

He's pretty violent and rough in the comics. When he stabs and slashes people they feel it and bleed.

[Mikman]

Perhaps the filmmakers didn't want a hero who killed too many people because, well, that's not too "heroic." However, they should make realistic violence and not restrict a character too "uncharacteristically." Filmmakers should always depict action scenes as they would occur in reality, which is now more prevalent because of the recent shift in action movies.

[Dudebro]

Killing people shouldn't make you less heroic. It's the context of the killings that matter. What they wanted is a character they can market to families without stupid soccer moms flipping out about the violence. He still stabs some people but there's no blood really so it's more like he's beating them up.

[DrunkN]

Filmmakers should always depict action scenes as they would occur in reality, which is now more prevalent because of the recent shift in action movies.

Why should they be limited to that constraint if it's not something the comics do?

I'm willing to concede that there's a lot of movies that could use more humanity and a lot less flash when it comes to the physical conflicts, (I'm looking at you, Star Wars prequels) but I don't believe you'd argue against the idea that even modern comics present exaggerated combat on occasion.

[Mikman]

I understand that some like exaggerated combat, but how can a person watch a movie fight scene while he/she continually wonders whether a character could fight more efficiently, or why too much or not enough blood is everywhere. If filmmakers want that people take comic book films seriously enough (but not too much), they should depict combat properly.

X-Men: Days of Future Past | The Bent Bullet (http://www.thebentbullet.com/#!/home)

Really cool site that reveals some of the story for the upcoming movie. Lots of cool stuff and some big changes but overall I think the story stays about the same.

[CrispyChicken]

The whole read is actually pretty spooky, and I love it!

[DrunkN]

Best X-Men movie, no contest.

[Dudebro]

Well to be fair the other movies are generally pretty weak. I gotta say though I didn't like the part about young Xavier being able to walk because of some magic potion Beast makes that also nullifies his powers. It's weird and it's pointless. I'm not super knowledgeable about the subject but I believe Xaviers condition is mental not physical. Like Ricky Bobby in Talladega Nights

Agreed on all accounts. Rest of the movie was killer tho, right?

[DoctorRyanB1]

I actually liked all the older X-Men movies, the only thing I didn't like was how the continuity was all over the place. (Which version of Sabertooth did you like better for instance?)

[Dudebro]

@DN- I think there was something else bugging me about the movie but I can't remember. I'll let you know when I remember, I'm sure you'll be eager to hear it.

Other than that yeah I liked it a lot. It was also beautifully shot/created.

@DrRB1- I like the other ones too(not the horrendous Wolverine origin ones though). This one if just much better than those.

[Mikman]

The first version of Sabretooth wasn't a character at all.

"The Last Stand" was bad mainly because several important characters died and others new and old had no character development.

How does "Days Of Future Past" rank among all superhero films and sc-fi films in general?

[Dudebro]

Last Stand loses big points because they killed Xavier. You just don't kill off Patrick Stewart. Even Star Trek knew better and had Data sacrifice himself instead even though he was far more valuable to humanity and would live for centuries. You just don't mess with this guy-
http://www.retrouprising.com/img/2014_06/3948.jpg



Ranked vs superhero films? I'd say pretty high. Why bother comparing it to sci fi though? That would be a huge list of unrelated movies to compare it with, pointless.

[Mikman]

I mean mainly in terms of time travel, which can we well or poorly done.

[Dudebro]

Well all of the time travel stuff I've seen isn't very accurate but it kinda has to be that way or the movie would be over before it started.

As for this movie I think it was done well enough. I like that it means Xavier isn't dead, that's a huge plus.

[CrispyChicken]

Just saw it today. Thought it was a solid movie. Liked it more than most of them, not sure if it's better than First Class. Solid ending.

Got some questions for you more experienced X-Men fans.

So Xavier is completely aware of Wolverine's experiences in the past right? And with Mystique posing as Stryker, does this mean that Wolverine never gets the adamntium claws? Also super excited for Apocalypse. Seems like a total badass. What were they chanting at the end, his name translated in Egyptian?

[Dudebro]

Xavier is aware of it all. The Stryker thing does seem to imply that he didn't get his metal claws but she went out of her way to get her hands on Wolverine and we don't know what her plan was so who knows? Maybe she did it but with less trauma and evilness?

The next movie is supposed to be in the 80s with the First Class so maybe they'll recast Wolverine anyways.

[CrispyChicken]

Why would they recast Wolverine? He'd still look the same in the 80's as he does in the present since he barely ages.

[Dudebro]

Hugh Jackman is aging and it's gonna be hard to keep having him play an ageless character.

[CrispyChicken]

Technology is good enough nowadays to keep him young.

[Dudebro]

Not really, especially when the next movie is gonna be something like 30 years behind the current one. The first Xmen movie was about 15 years ago and the differences are very noticeable now. The only one who truly looks ageless is Patrick Stewart.

[DrunkN]

They kinda play around with the ages anyways, don't they? Shouldn't Iceman be like, 30-40 years older than Blink?

[Dudebro]

They alter the ages all the time sure but you can't do much about the actors age. Eventually you have to either replace them or get rid of the character. Does anyone really think Wolverine won't be the star of every Xmen movie for the foreseeable future?

[CrispyChicken]

Speaking of Patrick Stewart, thought it was awesome when they had Star Trek playing on the small TV.

[Dudebro]

They did? It must've been the old Trek that he wasn't in.

‘X-Men: Days of Future Past' Easter Eggs, Trivia & References (http://screenrant.com/xmen-days-future-past-movie-easter-eggs-trivia-comic/)
One of the film’s bigger laughs comes with a quick cut to a close-up of William Shatner, soon revealed to be an episode of Star Trek: The Original Series being played in Hank McCoy’s workspace. But the scene is no coincidence; it is taken from the episode titled “The Naked Time,” in which the crew of the Enterprise is slowly taken over by a mind-altering infection. The crew is saved when a matter-antimatter explosion sends the entire ship back in time three days, allowing them to change course and avoid the same fate.

It's a brief shot.

[Dudebro]

Huh that is funny. I guess they couldn't just use one the many examples from TNG time travel episodes, too obvious and corny with P Stew in there.

[Mikman]

Also, both series have a Dr. McCoy. That's completely pointless trivia, but I said it anyway.

[Dudebro]

‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ to Focus More on Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique (http://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/x-men-apocalypse-to-focus-more-on-jennifer-lawrences-mystique/ar-BB7u40F)

the film will more closely explore the relationship between Lawrence’s blue mutant Mystique and Nicholas Hoult’s Beast.
Does this bug anyone else? I like both characters well enough but I think it's a waste to devote so much screen time to their relationship, one that I don't think ever happened in the comics anyways. They should add some other interesting characters that haven't seen any screen time instead. Romance plots are almost always lame o.

[DrunkN]

I do not like Mystique, but after DoFP I think that the movie can probably overcome the dumbest of arcs with cool cinematography and pacing.

[Dudebro]

I'm actually not a fan of Mystique played by Jennifer Lawrence but I liked her played by Rebecca Romain, which is funny because Lawrence is supposed to be this great actress and the other is a model. Something about her portrayal was just off, like she was too vulnerable and very unbelievable as this badass I'm so used to. It's as if they made a new character and named it the same and gave her the same powers. She's the new Halle Berry in the franchise as far as I'm concerned.

In small doses I can brush it off but if they're really gonna waste a good portion of the film on her and teen Beast who isn't really Beast then I'm gonna be pretty disappointed. This is supposed to be about the coming of Apocalypse not a love story or a bromance(Xavier and Magneto will also get focused on). We need a real team, where's Colossus, Nightcrawler, Cyclops, Cable, Bishop, the real Rogue and Storm, ect. I'm not gonna condemn the movie this early but it's not instilling me with any hope of it being great.

[DrunkN]

Crossing my fingers for Dazzler.

http://www.retrouprising.com/img/2014_10/4684.jpg

No, really.

[Dudebro]

Crossing my fingers for more characters in general. Marvel has a gigantic cast of characters it's a crime to focus on just the most popular ones. I mean sure go with what sells but don't reuse the same characters for every movie for decades.

[StarfoxFan2009]

Just finished the movie. It was pretty awesome

[CREEPINGIRON]

I wish quicksilver was in this movie more.

Best character.
