Intense

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2014)

I would still say First Class or X2 is the best X-Men movie, but DOFP is probably the most intense X-Men to date. I also would've preferred a total reboot instead of attempting to have any sort of cohesive storyline with the original movies due to X3's debacle, but they managed to make it work. Having said all this, the time traveling element was believable and the acting is top notch.
There are always some inconsistencies with what powers each individual mutant posses and how they deviate from the comic book (e.g. Shadowcat, Mystique) but they didn't bother me that much. My only suggestion would've been to give the Sentinels a more prominent role in the 1970s storyline. Not only would it have been cool to see more Sentinels, it would explain how certain events in the 1970s could've occurred.
