The best one so far!

Rating: 9/10 (22 May 2014)

Since their arrival on the comic book scene in 1963, The X-Men have been always been Marvel's most famous ragtag crew. From comics to cartoons and movies, these characters and their world have continued to not only exist, but grow and expand. The newest film from director Bryan Singer, X-men: Days Of Future Past, takes the world created in the first X-Men films and skillfully blends them together in a time-bending, fun and action packed adventure.
In 2023, mutants are being brutally hunted and killed by ruthless robot beings called Sentinels. Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and his on- again, off-again best friend Magneto (Ian McKellen) enlist the angry but lovable brute Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) to travel back in time. His mission is to try and reverse a deed done in 1973 by the shape shifter Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) whose actions lead to the creation of the Sentinels. Once Wolverine is back in time he must bring together the estranged younger Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and Xavier (James McAvoy) so they find Mystique and stop this future from happening.
Singer, who directed both X-Men and X2: X-Men United, delivers the best X-Men film so far. The task to bring all these story lines together from every movie in the X-Men arsenal seems impossible and improbable. Singers success is impressive as one would expect nothing but an incoherent mess full of missed plot cues and poorly written character choices. He even gives importance and the right amount of attention to the characters who aren't considered part of the main line-up. Mutants such as Blink, Warpath, Bishop, Sunspot and Havok are all given short, yet important moments to shine that work well within the story.
Jackman, Fassbender and McAvoy form a fun and angsty team in 1973. The three actors use their amazing talents to fill their roles to the brim, bringing honesty, sadness, and humor to each of their characters. Lawrence (Winter's Bone, American Hustle) once again shines as Mystique,who has matured since X-Men: First Class. She gives Mystique aimlessness while showing her pure passion for her self appointed mission to protect mutants from evil humans like Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage), who have no sympathy for mutants and only see them as a threat to humankind.
A stand out in the film is Even Peters as a young Quicksilver. Quicksilver has the power to move very fast and one of the most entertaining and memorable sequences in the film is when you are shown what he can truly do. This sequence will be remembered not only for this movie, but in years to come. The use of special effects might ensure Quicksilver of The X-Men will be more beloved than the soon-to-be-met Quicksilver in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
X-Men: Days of Future Past is not only the perfect summer blockbuster, it is also the perfect superhero film. Mixing the familiarity for the characters with the time bending storyline you are given a fun ride with a social message of acceptance of people everywhere, which is what X-Men is always and should always be about: equality for all. It's an important message that needs to be heard and it always helps to use sexy mutants and lovable classic anti-heroes to tell it.
