X-Men: Days of Future Past is an electric, action-packed movie, easily the best in the entire franchise, and maybe one of the best comic book films ever.

Rating: Null/10 (29 May 2014)

I wasn't really sure about this movie, I mean time travel is something that can screw movies real good, and there were probably going to be a bunch of continuity errors, but man was I wrong (at least partially). X- Men: Days of Future Past is absolutely badass! It is a really awesome movie, despite the continuity stuff, this film was so riveting, action- packed and funny that you don't even care about the coherency with the other films, because this one is probably the best one.
The acting in X-Men DOFP is really good, everyone does a great job, there isn't a false note anywhere in the movie. In terms of the main characters, Hugh Jackman is always great as Wolverine, I don't really need to talk about him too much, because he is awesome every time. But there's something in this movie that I really liked, we see Wolverine as a more human character, he doesn't go nuts as much as he usually does, and I thought it was pretty cool to see him in a different light. James McAvoy was just incredible! I loved how they humanized his character, when Patrick Stewart plays him, you can't really relate to him, because he's the know-it-all mentor, in First Class too, but in this movie he at an all-time low in life, he's so sad, cynical, and human, really great acting. Michael Fassbender is also really good, he may be the bad guy, but there's this one scene where, despite him being a dick(god, he is such a prick in this movie) you can understand where he's coming from, watching him and Charles interact is really interesting. Jennifer Lawrence is also always incredible, she still has that human element she had in First Class, but she's way more badass here. Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart and the other old-school X-Men are really cool, (Old Magneto had a really badass scene during the final act in the future, it just made me scream in joy), but the new additions are awesome as well, I particularly liked Blink and Bishop, their powers made for some INCREDIBLE fight scenes. But someone who absolutely blew me away was Evan Peters as Quicksilver. He is the coolest character in the movie, easily, I feel so bad that I was on the band wagon that thought he looked really bad, but he is so awesome! The scene where he demonstrates his powers with the cops is one of the best scenes I've seen, ever. He was such a funny and interesting character. Peter Dinklage is also very good in this movie, I just didn't get his character's reason for hating mutants so much, which is kind of big, but I forgave that one. And there's a point where you think, "With such a big cast, can I really care about all of the characters? Yes you can! You care about every single one of the X-Men! Even the ones who don't appear that much like Storm and Iceman, they aren't all developed though, but that's okay, because they're just supporting characters.
This film is so exciting, it is on from the opening credits which are awesome (hearing the original X-Men theme again was just indescribable), until the also awesome post-credits scene, even when the characters are just talking is interesting. The action is amazing, again the scene with Quicksilver is incredible, but the final act, the one in the future is so awesome! The cinematography, directing, 3D are all top- notch in this film. The special effects here are absolutely incredible, all technical aspects are as well. The directing by Bryan Singer is fantastic, there's this one scene with Mystique, where a person is filming her with a really old 70s camera, and the footage from the camera is played in the middle of the scene, those shots were fantastic! They added such a realistic feeling to the scene, that was a great idea.
The writing in this movie is very good, they made the time travel concept plausible (for this movie), they kept it simple. And what they did with the ending was awesome! You could say they kind of fixed some mistakes of other X-Men films. The story is really great, it's a great mixture between the comic story and something new that they created, it works really well. This movie handles its multitude of characters by making them important to one of the central story arcs, and it's great! However there were some flaws, I'm talking about the continuity errors, most of them couldn't be avoided of course, but there was one that really stuck out, and I didn't understand the reason for it, it was Wolverine's Adamantium claws (in the future/present), and this is something that's incoherent with the ending of another X-Men film. What they did there could have been changed, to me there was no logical explanation for his Adamantium claws. And that was my biggest flaw with the film. Another flaw was that the final act in the past was a bit underwhelming compared to the rest of the film's fights, it didn't have the intended effect on me, it did not feel like there was a lot at stake, don't know why, but it just didn't. And those were my only flaws.
This film is really fun, I wasn't sure what to expect, but what I got was an intense, funny, action-packed and absolutely entertaining X-Men adventure. Days of Future Past is really awesome, it masterfully concludes the X-Men franchise revival mission, which started with First Class, continued with The Wolverine, and ended with X-Men: Days of Future Past. I recommend this movie.
