Saw X-Men: Days of Future Past this evening and it was awesome. The film combines both First Class characters with their Original X-Men alumni counterparts to not only bridge the gap between them, but also correct some errors the previous films made. In other words the sins of the past were corrected so that the future may have a brighter tomorrow...good god that was cheesy.

I'm gonna give the details of what that means in a Spoiler tag so don't read if you want to find out for yourself.

Spoiler

The film retcons the entire original trilogy in a sense. More specifically, Last Stand. All the characters that died, ie Jean Grey and Scott Summers or Cyclops as you will. They are alive and have no memories of the past because the future was changed for the better.....kinda. If anyone has watched Wolverine and the X-Men as well as keeping up with movie news regarding the next X-Men film, then you know that following the events that created the Sentinels crisis was then followed after by the coming of Apocalypse which is the subtitle of the next film. So that means that despite a happy outcome of all the characters that died in past films and even ones that died in this one not dying at all as the events that lead to their deaths never happened, it now paves the way for yet another dark future that we don't know yet. But given both comic lore as well as the various TV shows that covered Apocalypse and his story arc know it isn't a happy time for anyone. Alright that ends my spoilers, go watch the film now, it is really a fantastic film and a great addition to the X-Men story. Now if Fox and Marvel can somehow work a deal to have their respective film series crossover you would have the greatest film ever told!

On another note, Stephen King's IT is still in the works to be rebooted and they are splitting the book into two films. First half dealing with the kids taking on Penny Wise the Clown and the second film with the adult versions of the kids taking on the clown and finishing him off.

If they can have this film be R rated and New Line not be douche bags about it, this could be a really good horror movie with the more cringing and horrific details of the book with a few alterations cause if you know anything about the book, and ask Hex herself who will tell you it is fucked up in both a good and bad way.
