One of the best X-Men movies

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 2014)

If you include the Wolverine films, there have been 6 X-Men movies. Bryan Singer's "X-Men: Days of Future Past" is the seventh film of this franchise and it is one of the best. It has everything you want in an X-Men movie, from cool new mutants and actions scenes to the blending of both the original X-Men cast and the "X-Men: First Class" cast. It may be a little crowded with all these character, but Singer does a good job of balancing them.
"X-Men: Days of Future Past" focuses on Wolverine who is sent back to the 1970s after humans and mutants have almost become extinct by Sentinels. In the 1970s, Wolverine has to reunite a young Professor Xavier (James McAvoy) and Magneto (Michael Fassbender) in order to stop the Sentinels from being created.
With a strong cast and action packed and witty script, Singer gives us a blockbuster ride that is just as fun as it is emotionally engaging. I grew up with the X-Men series so it was weird, but awesome, seeing all these characters I grew up with again and combining the great "X- Men: First Class" cast with them. There's a hilarious new mutant called Quicksilver (Evan Peters). He has a really good scene where he is running in a room to the song "Time In A Bottle" by Jim Croce.
"X-Men: Days of Future Past" is a great addition to the X-Men series. I know people will debate the time travel aspects of the story and how it stands with the comics. As a film-goer, though, I had a lot of fun watching this film and think it is one of the better sequels and comic book movies out right now. I don't think you'd be wasting your money seeing this film.
