The X-Men still got it

Rating: 9/10 (11 August 2015)

There wouldn't be so many comic book movies if it wasn't for the success of the original X-Men back in 2000. After several misguided entries, X- Men: Days of Future Past shows us there are still plenty of gas in the franchise and all thanks to the return of Director Bryan Singer.
Spoilers ahead
Days of Future Past is the one of the highest grossing film in 2014 and arguably the best entry of the franchise (not bad for the 7th film of a franchise). It not only corrected many mistakes in X3 (notably the death of Cyclops and Jean Grey) and it also brought back the original casts (Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Ian Mckellen and Patrick Stewart which was what the First Class lacked).
Many argued there wasn't enough of the original cast in the future timeline when the film came out last year and I totally agreed. I personally prefer the original cast than the new generation well maybe except Michael Fassbender as Magneto. Thanks to the newly released Rogue Cut 2015, fans would not be disappointed. We are thrilled to see the return of Rogue, just because she was part of the original core team although rescuing her felt a bit too easy except Iceman had a much more painful death than the original cutÂ… She basically stole the show from Kitty Pride (after Wolverine slashed her) for the rest of the film. It felt much more appropriate and personal as she's assisting Logan this time round whereas Logan was protecting her in the first film. We can see the evolution of her character.
To conclude, the Rogue Cut is more or less what the original Days of Future Past should be and it is a bittersweet to say farewell to the original cast even Jackman has announced he will be hanging up his claws after his third solo in 2017.
Looks like X-Men Apocalypse has a big shoe to fill, I have no doubt in Singer's ability.
