X-Men: Days of Future Past is a Fantastic Superhero Movie!

Rating: 9/10 (18 June 2014)

I couldn't have said it better myself, or anyone else. This X-Men instalment is THE X-Men film that the fans have been anticipating since the beginning. I can even go ahead and say that this is the one that will even convert non-fans into fans, it's that good.
Days of Future Past reinvents what the series can do in such a fresh way, without rebooting it completely may I remind you. Most of all it is a time travel film, and there are some issues with the continuity but all can be forgiven after sitting through this film completely. It mends all the mistakes of the past X-Men films (in terms of quality) and feels closer to the comics than the first three movies.
I have to admit that I keep comparing too many superhero movies to The Dark Knight in terms of the story and the characterisation, but I only compare Days of Future Past to it in the "reinventing the franchise" way and also telling a bigger story that is darker and meaner. It gets so much right: The Sentinels, Wolverine, and the mixing of the all-star cast of X-Men 1-3 (including Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen) and even the cast from X-Men: First Class (featuring James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender).
The story, the direction, the editing, the music and particularly Quicksilver's soon-to-be classic scene, all adds up to one thrilling ride that doesn't deserve to be missed by any X-Men fan out there. I couldn't recommend this movie enough. It's like Avengers but with a whole world of weird and wonderful mutants.
A well deserved 9/10 is what this movie gets.
