Okay. so I recently saw "X-Men: Days of Future's Past" and I've got a few issues with it. For the most part I watched it for nothing but the entertainment value. As far as that goes, it was a really good flick. There were a few things that bothered me though and to simplify things, I'll just list them...
1. Since when the hell did Kitty Pride have any other power besides making herself and anybody she held on to intangable??
2. Basic Anatomy: We get to see Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique yet again, which was cool, but this film suffered from the one thing that all the X-men films (minus First Class) failed to address... in her full on blue mutant form she's nude, so wouldn't certain parts of anatomy (say.. in the southern regions) be visible? This has always bothered me. At least in First Class she wore clothing.
3. Creating mutants for the film that never existed in the Marvel Universe: Okay... that's cool. I guess. Sure it's to round out the random characters in the film, but what is the purpose other than to be extras?
4. The ending: Oh geez... how this didn't make sense. During a fight sequence between Beast, Xavier, Magneto, and Wolverine and Sentinels... Magneto impales Wolvie with a bunch of rebar and tosses him into the Potomac River... a good distance from the building itself (okay..that was cool but) Wolverine is then fished up out of said river after it's all said and done by police and a young William Stryker (who just happens to be Mystique who gives the yellow eye flash just before the credits begin to roll. Well...this didn't make much sense. Wouldn't it have been better for continuity had that actually been Stryker??? It would easily explain how Logan gets involved with Stryker for the events of that god awful Orgins movie and got his adamantium.
5. Speaking of Sentinels...The 1970s Sentinels were made with "space age polymers and ceramics" and no metal parts as explained by Trask during a meeting, as if he anticipated Magneto escaping from his metal free prison. I honestly don't see how they would even be a functional machine without metal parts. No metal gears, not metal tubes, no metal engine. The future Sentinels were created using Mystque's DNA to give them the ability of adapt to any mutant power. Now here's my concern... if they were made using DNA and organic material...wouldn't that actually make them biomechanical, in turn, making them A LOT easier to beat??
6. How exactly did Wolverine get his adamantium skeleton and claws back in this film following the events of "The Wolverine" movie where he lost it? This is never addressed, only little quips nodding at it prior to the climatic battle at the White House.
Well there's my rant. There's a lot more I'd like to cover, but I don't really want to ruin the film for anybody nor give out too many spoilers. I will say, IF you haven't seen the film, go see it AND don't let my rants deter you from enjoying the film.
