Great fun movie re-uniting the 'original' mutants with their younger selves which were introduced in the x-men movie that was a prequel.
We got to the theater really really early based on our Charlotte experience. Because once again we were seeing a recently released film on a weekend in a big city and it was also a holiday. We got there so much ahead of time, that we couldn't even be seated. There was no place to sit outside the velvet rope; not even benches in front of the individual theaters. However, the ticket taker and guardian of the rope got us two foldup chairs. Yes, we played the senior card! and loved every minute of our seated majestic location.
So the movie was about transporting the consciousness of Wolverine back 50 years so he could get help from the other mutants to thwart Mystique's (Jennifer Lawrence) plan to kill the builder (played by Peter Dinklage) of a robot-drone that was programmed to specifically kill mutants. Wolverine had to contact Beast and Magneto and Professor X in the 1960's. This leap back in time led to a lot of funny scenes and dialogue.
and a new character got introduced, Quicksilver, played by the American Horror Story series regular, Evan Peters. He was witty and sharp and had great lines and added a lot of humor also. Plus the scene where he freezes the guards in an underground jail was hilarious.
All the acting was good and it was very fast paced and highly entertaining. We were told to stick around for the credits which we did and they showed what was essentially a minitrailer of what the next film was going to be about.
We both gave this movie a 9.
