Rating: 8/10 (29 May 2014)

For the most part. "X-men - Days of future past" is as great as everyone is saying. Bringing together all the best elements, of a film series that has sometimes struggled to win everyone over. Its brilliantly realised, clever, and funny in the right places.
Now, its not like the X-men are up there with Super-man, Batman, and Spider-man, as the most renowned of all the superhero's, and I personally feel these films have had a harder time than most, in being criticised on how they don't do justice to all of the characters. Now, me personally. Have kind of liked all of these movies (With the exception of maybe "X-men â€“ Origins") but they're all not without their faults. Except "Days of future past" almost manages it, and came very close to being the best of the series. A Film that I was almost going to give 5 stars.
The Film does what the likes of "X-men 2" still did best. By throwing all of these powers these people have at the screen in inventive ways, while also giving the characters human drama, and a proper story to play off. Despite the films brave and winning attempt at throwing more of these "mutants" together than ever. It really all comes down to a young professor X's struggle with faith, when the likes of Michael Fassbender, and Jennifer Lawrence turned on him in the last movie.
But the icing on the cake is the eye catching special effects. Bringing together 2 different visual styles. One of a dark future, and one of a colourful 70's together. In a way that is perhaps (Can't believe I'm going to say this) done even further justice by great 3D.
So what's bad about it then? Well, In short, I hated the ending. It was one of those endings that actually almost ruined the whole movie. After doing such a good job off entertaining me for over 2 hours, and single handedly letting me forget/forgive this series terrible continuity problems (by nicely working around the main one) the ending just screws things up all over again, in a way that will make little sense to even the biggest of "Time travel movie" fans. Still, I guess I can understand why they ended it the way they did. Even if it does seem completely mad.
