Review
The movie tells the story from the Days of Future Past timelime. When the movie starts, it sets in the year 2023 where Sentinels are hunting mutants, almost making them extinct. Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) has to go back to 1973 to find young Professor X (James McAvoy) and young Magneto (Michael Fassbender) to stop Bolivar Trask’s (Peter Dinklage) sentinels program.

The running time for the movie is 133 minutes and do stay till the end of the credits as the end credit scene is related to the next X-Men movie entitled, X-Men: Apocalypse.

Personally, I think this is the best X-Men movie ever. Storyline is simple and straight to the point, some funny jokes in the movie and the visual effects is awesome! Go catch it in the cinemas from next Thursday, 22nd May 2014!
