Although the superheroes on the big screen have reached the point of "running shoulder to shoulder" and "continuously flowing", the X-Men still has its own unique charm: there are many superheroes in this series, each with its own magical powers, and both the whole body. The waste wood with long thorns piercing people, there is also an Omega-class mutant Magneto that can manipulate the electromagnetic force, one of the four basic forces of the universe, with the anti-sky ability. The audience can always experience a novel thrill; in addition, unlike most previous superhero movies, the X-Men series tells the story of a "mutant" group. The film always revolves around class conflicts, identity, strengths and weaknesses. Topics such as group relations are unfolded. The release of the first "X-Men" in 2000 was a turning point in the development of superhero movies, and this type of movie entered a new stage: the superhero team replaced one person to fight the world, and the movie became faster and more fashionable. , And rich in reality mapping meaning.
The theme of "X-Men: Reversing the Future" is still in the same line as the previous series of films (including the Wolverine series), that is, it uses issues such as identity, social responsibility, new order and old morals as the spiritual entry point. To put it more bluntly, the mutants in the X-Men symbolize the disadvantaged groups represented by homosexuality. The director of the film, Brian Singer, is gay. He has been highlighting the difference between humans and mutants in this series. The contradictions and their respective dilemmas. However, "Reversing the Future" has nothing to do with the presentation of the theme. Whether it is the revenge of the magic girl against humans or the plot of Professor X preventing Magneto from destroying the human elite, it has repeatedly appeared in the previous several "X-Men". pass. The theme of "give others a way and let yourself have a way" in the film is also nothing unique. To put it in an exaggeration, the magical girl's choice to put down her gun in the face of humans is even worse than the assassin's choice of "not kill" in "Hero". "The killing of King Qin made people think about it.
Gorgeous scenes and lively battles are one of the important features of superhero movies. The X-Men series, which has always been known for its coolness, don’t worry about this. At the beginning of "Reverse the Future", the scene where all the mutants fight the sentinel robots together is quite enjoyable, full of tragic feeling, and various special effects are shiny and beautiful, like the same song "Song of Ice and Fire". Of course the most amazing thing is the scene of "Quick Silver" rescuing Magneto-as unforgettable as the bullet time of "The Matrix"! It also has a humorous taste. Audiences who rushed to watch the blockbuster will feel that they are worth the ticket just because of these two shows. But at the end, Magneto’s maddening moments disappointed me: although the force of the stadium looks thrilling, but it has no practical deterrence, it is far less exciting than the horizontal section of the Golden Gate Bridge in "X-Men: The Last Battle". In fact, the final part of the film feels very similar to the ending of "The Last Battle", but the performance of the 8 early sentinel robots and Magneto does not seem to be enough to bring the film to the climax.
On the whole, "Reversing the Future" has a lot of literary dramas but it is not in-depth. The martial arts have bright spots but lack sense of volume. The level is not as good as "Captain America 2" or the same series of "X-Men: First Class", which has been praised by foreign media, let alone the "Avengers".
There are already seven "X-Men" series plus Wolverine Gaiden. The copyright of this series is in the hands of 20th Century Fox, and there has been a long distance from Marvel's own Marvel Universe series. This time, the fast silver that appeared in "Reverse the Future" will also appear in the "Avengers 2", but the actors are different, and the "X-Men" cannot mention that the fast silver is a member of the Avengers, while in "Avengers 2" Can't mention that Kuaiyin has joined the X-Men and his father is Magneto. "X-Men" has been playing traversal, comeback, and nostalgia recently. It is actually a dangerous choice because it can easily mess up the timeline of the entire series. : Wouldn’t it be solved by sending Wolverine back, why bother?)-It is said that the next "X-Men: Apocalypse" will no longer play time travel. In the future, the relationship between the X-Men and the Marvel Universe will inevitably become a problem that affects the development of the two series. The X-Men can still be wild, but don't overplay it, so that the audience will have a lot of question marks after watching: why? Man, why?
