As an automaton force threatens to eradicate mutant existence, Wolverine is sent back in time to 1973 to prevent a chain of events leading to this cataclysmic inevitability. X-Men: Days of Future Past is paltry, inane, uninspired, unfunny, incredibly stupid, and even shameless on several levels as big named stars (even talented in a few cases) cash in with bored performances while studio hack Bryan Singer, who hasn't directed a decent picture since his last X movie over a decade ago, tanks a promising rebooted series that appears as if it should finally be put to rest.
* 1/2 out of ****
