X-Men: Days of Future Past 6/10

*No Spoilers*

Not a bad film, but packed with continuity plot holes that are driving me nuts.

I'm feeling that there should be another film between "The Wolverine" (with it's post credits scene) and "DoFP".  I would be very happy if the next stand alone Wolverine film took place in that time period, and answer the biggest question that DoFP failed to address. I'm feeling a bit unfulfilled, but happy this entry was better then "X-Men" The Last Stand" and the two Wolverine solo films.

X-Men  (2000) 7/10

Good cast and decent writing, but suffers from a poor production design.

X2 X-Men United (2003) 8/10

More solid production value, and more involved story.

X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) 5/10

A very disappointing entry, and one that is also a very mixed bag. Great casting choice for Beast, but some of the costumes looked terrible. Some of the scenes are good, but the majority is just garbage. That entire concept with the Golden Gate Bridge is utter crap. Not the world's worst film, but far below the standards set in the first two movies in the series. 

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) 5/10

Yet another disappointment. This felt more like "X-Men Lite" then a stand alone Wolverine adventure. Also the story just re-treads old ground with the Striker story.  The casting of Liev Schreiber was the best thing about the film. I was truly starting to lose faith in this series at this point.

X-Men First Class (2011) 8/10

Now that is more like it! A return to form with an amazing cast and engaging story. This film will be re-watched by me a number of times in the future.

The Wolverine (2013) 4/10

Fine production values (yet a few very bad green screen scenes), interesting scenic locations, completely boring and ridiculous -- even for an" X-Men" film. My least favorite of the entire series.

 Was that idea ever mentioned before that one episode of Enterprise?  I am not saying you are wrong or it wasn't I just can't remember that idea ever being brought up before and I am pretty sure I would have remembered something like that if I had heard it mentioned on the show when i was a kid.

In an episode of Enterprise I think they answer some kid's questions. That was one of the questions. Someone explained something about how it does get converted into useful things, like boots.

I assumed there was a bathroom in the Holideck and it just vaporised his waist.

 I was under the impression that body waist was converted to energy, and then the molecules where re-arranged and converted into new useful things.

You know, converted into all those replicated hot fudge sundaes Deanna Troi  loves to eat.

 I think it may have been talked about in one of the Technical Manuals or other official reference books from the 70's or 80's. I'll need to dig around my storage shed to find it.
