Now this is a summer movie. Action, time travel, superpowers. Love it. Sometime in the future Prof X and Magneto have made peace to defeat a common enemy. The enemy are sentinels, robotic hunter-assassins, who only hunt mutants (or those who have recessive mutant genes). Very Skynet-ish. I love this series because of the massive possibilities for "mutant powers". Of course, you have Wolverine and Cyclops and Storm. But we also can get anything you can imagine, and the fun comes when you put a team of these "anythings" together in a fight. They can work together and the sum is greater than the whole and all that. The main storyline is that Wolverine is sent back to the 70's to prevent an assassination by a mutant which ultimately leads to the unified human move to destroy all mutants. In the 70's, Wolverine is helped out by Quicksilver, and chases down Magneto and Mystique/Raven (she is still having an identity crisis at this point). Lest I spoil all the fun, just see it and enjoy all the campy humor and mutant fun.
