Review by Bob Ignizio
With
X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE
PAST, filmmaker Bryan
Singer reminds us that before Marvel started taking cinematic matters
into their own hands, he had already shown that super hero movies
that treat their source material with respect can be successful with
fanboys, general audiences, and critics alike. The X franchise is
where the modern super hero film truly began, and while the series
lost its way when Singer left to pursue other projects, the situation
for the team of mutant heroes improved considerably with his return
(in the capactiy of producer) for 2011's X-MEN:
FIRST CLASS. That film
was a step in the right direction, and things have only gotten better
now that Singer is back in the director's chair.
