X-Men: Days of future past.

It was fun but pretty uneven. The future timeline stuff was a bit of a novelty but felt kinda flat. Overall I think First Class felt a lot more polished.

There's kind of a weird logic at play in the film that they sort of explain, but in a nonsensical sort of way.

[mild spoiler]

Take Charles for example - In First class he lost the ability to walk after taking a bullet to the spine. In DOFP if he takes the serum that Hank designed to supress mutant genes....he can walk again.

And he is alive again in the future after being torn apart by Jean in X3. It's implied that he posessed the body of a braindead man on life support [x3 post credit scene] - and here he appears looking exactly like his old self...and apparently still paralyzed.

Monuments Men

I wanted to like this film, I really did. The pacing is all over the place. They probably could have stretched the last part into a full movie and really fleshed things out.

It feels like someone was trying to rip-off Band of Brothers ala Transmorphers...
