X-Men: Days of Future Past

Alright guys, no surprise here, I'm a comic book fan. And I'll let you know something, the X-Men are my favorite comic series ever. Now combine this information with the fact that I'm also an avid film fanatic and well...I get pretty damn excited about new X-Men movies, such as this one - X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Now let me give you a little background information. "Days of Future Past" is a classic story arc of the X-Men that was published during 1981. It has since become known as the staple story that people associate the X-Men with within comic book culture. In this arc, mutants are being actively and publicly hunted/killed by giant robots called 'Sentinels'. Believing the only way to prevent this mutant genocide from happening, Shadowcat (Kitty Pryde) travels back into the past to stop the Sentinel Program from the beginning. 

Angel, Wolverine and some of the few remaining mutants look upon a horrific sight

The film combines the cast of the original X-men film with their younger counterparts from X-Men: First Class. It's incredibly awesome, and completely unprecedented in comic book movies. This could very well be a more ambitious project than The Avengers - in terms of all the characters director Bryan Singer is putting on screen. Here is the final trailer:



Honestly, if this movie is a disappointment, I will never be excited for another movie as much as I am excited for this one ever again. MAY 22 is the release date in Australia,  definitely check this movie out.
