This movie is VERY great. Well done, maybe one of the best Xmen movies. Very deep too. Wish Hollywood would do more like this movie.

I was completely blown away after watching this movie. This movie was fast paced and filled with fantastic action sequences and great direction from Bryan Singer. One of the best things about this movie is the story itself, it is very well written and very interesting and it also provides some emotional scenes that motivates the characters including the audience to have hope and conquer your fears. Even though there are lots of characters in the film, They don't feel overcrowded and overstuffed and they don't feel like they are shoehorned in . A lot of these characters are well fleshed out and likable. This movie was never boring!If you don't know the plot of this movie, It's about a dustopian future in 2023 where the mutants are facing extinction because they are being taking over by the sentinels (Mutant killing robots). The sentinels have already hunted down a large population of mutants and humans who are helping mutants to survive and killing them or sending them to prison. Wolverine and the X-Men has found refuge and has decided to send Wolverine back in time to 1973 to recruit the younger versions of Prof. X, Magneto and Hank Mccoy to prevent the assassination of Bolivar Trask being set by Mystique. This assassination is what started this sentinel chaos in the future 2023. Prof. X thinks that if this assassination is prevented, that means that the future is reset and all of the X-Men characters are all alive and safe and sound. This also wipes out the sentinels in existence when this assassination is prevented. My favourite part of this film is Quicksilver. That quicksilver scene is one of the best and coolest scenes in a comic book movie ever! and probably my favourite scene in the movie. The Soundtrack for that scene was frickin perfect! Michael Fassbender killed it as Young Magneto! He was such a bad ass in this movie! and James McAvoy was great as Young Prof. X. I thought Jennifer Lawrence did a pretty great job as Mystique. She was a bad ass in this movie.There are a lot of great scenes in this movie that I will not spoil but if you watch this movie, you are going to like it! I definitely have no issues with this movie.What's so great about this movie is that it's never boring. even if the action isn't there, you are still invested and interested in the story for this movie and the interaction between these characters. The Time Travelling story of this film is very interesting as well.Overall it is a great comic book movie filled with awesome action scenes and emotional scenes to it and the characters are well written and fleshed out and you can actually care about them and be able to understand their motivations. The standout of this movie like I mentioned earlier is the story. It is so well written and satisfyingly epic at the same time. therefore, X-Men: Days of Future Past is the best X-Men movie ever! I'm gonna give X-Men: Days of Future Past an A+

Probably my favorite movie out of the entire superhero genre. It can't compete on pure cinematography with Whedon, or the creative reinterpretation of Nolan, or even the visuals of Snyder.Consider, though, that it adds meaning to 4 prior movies that were made in the shallow days of hero movies, retroactively creating motivations and plot foreshadowing in almost 8 hours of cinema that weren't meant to go anywhere, while developing the relationships between the main characters and progressing the story lines of side characters in the background.It's an incredible work of art, and the piece that made me a huge can of Bryan Singer.However, it does sadden me that to get the full emotional impact from the film you have to watch X1-3 (and Wolverine Origins, too), which are nowhere near as good films and are extremely dated by today's genre standards.When I really want someone to watch this movie, I still do make them sit through the 8+ hours of backstory, but at least I feel a little guilty about it =P

"X-Men: Days of Future Past" is not just a wonderfully entertaining and enjoyable film to watch in the cinema, but it is actually a movie with a good plot. Perhaps I like time-travel stories a bit more than the normal person, but I found the writing of this film to be extraordinary for an action film. The movie features memorable scenes, great stunts and action sequences, funny and quotable lines (as almost all action films nowadays do), and cool characters - Wolverine, Quicksilver, and young Magneto, especially. The movie is not infallible, sure, and it's not comparable to "The Godfather" or whatever else classifies as a "truly" incredible, top-quality film, but it is good in its own right. It's one of the best action films I have ever seen and I am not ashamed to admit that I saw it in the cinema twice and now also own the blu ray. It's possibly the greatest film of the X-Men series, but I might not be one to comment on this because I'm not a particularly huge fan of the series. Still, it's an excellent superhero film.
