A magnificent movie!

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2016)

Five years ago, in 2011, When director Bryan Singer released the movie, x-men first class. As a fan of all the x-men movies and all of the franchises related movies (Wolverine's). i enjoyed the movie, but what kept reappearing in my mind was, "where does this movie belong?". i wasn't sure where this movie was meant to fit in the time-line. was this movie a reboot? was this movie a prequel? Did this movie even know what it was?. There is a big stigmata against reboots and prequels ever since the star wars franchise expanded beyond the confinements of George Lucas's original Star Wars trilogy.
But...
Bare with me, This movie is amazing. For you to fully understand the x-men universe and the time-line/story, i truly recommend that you the leave "x-men origins: Wolverine & The Wolverine" out of your watch list, and... treat those movies as standalone, non continuity, pure entertainment movies. Because they are good movies, their just extremely confusing when you try to piece the x-men trilogy with those movies and then the new movies (first class & days of future past).
Yes! Days of future past does incorporate time travel from the time period of the original movies (think more current, modern times, 2000s, mature grown up x-men), to the 1970s! But its to stop everything bad from happening in their future before it has even begun. Apocalypse, picks up a few years later in the 80s, after the events that happened in days of future past.
This movie is very very good! i personally rate it 8 out of 10! How about you?
