X-Men: Days of Future Past is the key for the super-hero-movie evolution.

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2014)

Back in 2000, X-Men was relished, and it proved that super-hero films can be realistic and serious. In 2003, X2 proved that sequels can be even better. X-Men: The Last Stand proved that super-heroes films can be huge disappointments. Then X-Men Origins: Wolverine was even worse. The Wolverine a bigger improvement than Origins, but again it wasn't full filing. But in 2011, X-Men: First Class brought back hopes for the franchise. This saga had uppers and downers for the last 13 years, which Bryan Singer brought the genre into a new level, by making the first two films, that after him many others followed. Now, he's back by bringing an all-star cast into X-Men: Days of Future Past. So, is it a letdown or a success? It's definitely, the best X-Men film till now. Singer is the father of this franchise and he makes one of Marvel's best projects. One of the biggest concerns of the film since the begging of the production was the oversize of the cast. There is this great balance of use for every character in the story, which you don't even care that most of them don't have much dialog. But the main heroes of the story are Wolverine, Professor X, Magneto and Mystic. Hugh Jackman once more plays the tough Wolverine, in probably in his best show run and he constantly reminds you why you love him in this role. Also, one of my favorite elements in First Class, which is the relationship between McAvoy's Xavier and Fassbender's Magneto, is here and in a more hostile environment. Jennifer Lawrence's Mystic was one of the main parts in the film, and the way her character was made for the development of the film was one of the smartest elements. But the film is based on the theme of Hope, which is connecting with Charles Xavier, who from James McAvoy's broken Xavier evolves to the mentor and leader Patrick Stewart's Professor X. McAvoy gives an astonishing performance which provides you most of the most dramatic moments of the film. Meanwhile, the biggest surprise is Quicksilver. He is the most entertaining part of the project and his scene in the Kitchen gets in main highlights and shows us the most interesting and awesome use of super speed. Without giving spoilers, this film is the redemption for every mistake that the previous installment had made. In verdict, Days of Future Past is an emotional action journey to the best X-Men film ever made, which gives the opportunity to an ever bigger Future for this amazing franchise. With this and Captain America The Winter Soldier, 2014 has become my favorite year for super heroes and being an even bigger fan for Marvel; next stop Guardians of the Galaxy, but it would be very difficult to surpass those two.
