[REVIEW] X-Men: Days of Future Past (good)
Let's get two things out of the way first:
- as far as reboots of a franchise go, this one is rather clever
- Hollywood (or pretty much everyone else too, I guess) should stop trying to make time-travel movies - the time-travel never makes any sense
The movie itself was rather enjoyable (and how much do I love than Hugh Jackman fought for that one naked scene) while I was seeing it. Thinking about it later on, though, brings under the light all the deeply problematic things about (starting which, it is all about taking away a woman's agency), so I'm not too sure that I would want to watch it again.
