Go back to the past, reverse the future

After Professor X broke with Magneto, the situation of the mutants became more and more precarious, until they were cornered by the "Sentinel" robot developed by humans using mutant genes. Professor X and Magneto jointly decided to send Wolverine back to the past, change the direction of history, and change the fate of mutants. This plot is very similar to the Terminator, right? Of course, Wolverine did not become the father of Professor X or Magneto, but returned to the time when the two were still young, organized the two who had broken up, and joined forces to prevent Mystique from assassinating Bolivar Trask. Bolivar Trask was the main advocate for humanity's declaration of war on mutants, and Mystique's assassination and capture of him was considered a turning point in the mutants' fortunes. Due to their different ideas, Magneto and Professor X are still fighting each other. Magneto hopes to force humans to stop by showing their power, and Professor X works to change Mystique's mind. At the last moment, Mystique put down her gun. At the other end of time and space, the mutants who were already in danger were instantly out of desperation.

This film is not as exciting as "First War" in terms of story. It is not new to go back to the past and change the plot of history. After all, there are a lot of pearls in front. It also doesn't delve into the inevitability of confrontation between humans and mutants like "First War." However, the sense of blockbuster is stronger, and it is more in line with the audience's expectations for a visual effect blockbuster. The mutants who are in crisis and Wolverine who shoulder the historical mission are skilled in the use of two-line narratives, and finally jointly push the crisis to a climax.

A few places that impress me. The little devil Peter Dinklage in "Game of Thrones" plays Bolivar Trask, and although there is little room to play, it is a surprise. The action scenes of Quicksilver's shots are very nice and very entertaining. Magneto transported the entire stadium to cover the White House, with a bold idea, a shocking effect, and a loud slap in the face of Newton's third law.

    As the second part of the prequel trilogy, Brian Singer paid a lot of tribute to the X-Men 2 he filmed, such as the comprehensive upgrade of Magneto’s prison escape, such as the seduction of the magical girl and the stealing of the magical girl. Intelligence, Magneto’s two iron balls, mutant assassinated the president, mention of Stryker’s son, etc. Generally speaking, there is not much room for prequel shooting. After all, the ending is already doomed, but "Reverse the Future" cleverly broke this situation and rewritten history by traveling through time and space. In the new history, the devil woman shot Magneto to save mankind. This action triggered the butterfly effect, causing mankind to no longer hate mutants, so everything behind was gone. Laser Eye did not die, and Wolverine did not kill Phoenix Girl... … Mutants ushered in an unprecedented flourishing age. In addition, "Reverse the Future" also completed the handover of new and old actors, a perfect soft restart. The lineup is strong, including the new and old generations of Professor X and Magneto, as well as the two human villains Stryker and Teslak in the same frame, and the script and characterization are also very good, which can be called the best of the six "X-Men" good.

    14 years of sharpening a not bad sword: the Quick Silver part and Lao Wan's you shall not pass are wonderful.
