'X-men Days Of Future Past (2014)' serves as an apt goodbye to the original cast and a fitting initiation of the new one. This time-travel feature includes some great characters and interesting ideas but an occasional lack of action that does make for a drier watch the second time around, once you know where things are heading. Still, the lulls in excitement never last too long and there isn't usually a lack of character to drive the admittedly somewhat complex plot. The set-pieces that do occur are lavish and well designed, featuring interesting villains and impressively rendered superpowers clashing over two time periods. It's engaging stuff, compelling and interesting throughout. Most importantly, it's entertaining. 8/10
