Time bending 2nd best X-Men movie

Rating: 7/10 (24 June 2014)

Days of Future Past is a good film. A good superhero film and a good X-Men film, good not great. The film is fast paced well acted and a good time, but the one thing I didn't like about the film is how it felt as thou the film was trying to tie in the other films and their messy timelines and contiunities. While X-Men 1 and 2 flowed together, X-Men 3 was a train wreck in more ways than I can count. Then there was X-Men First Class which to me is the best of the franchise.
And while there is a lot of fun with Days the thing that stopped it from being great was the the way Singer and company tried to wedge Days into the franchise without having to totally reboot of recon everything we have seen so far. Also having read the classic comic storyline (X-Men 142 & 143) I may have been expecting more, the storyline was there but the future world seemed to bore me t times. Making this mostly Mystique's story was a stroke of genius...while this film was a great improvement on X-3 as a follow up to First Class, I was let down, still recommend but if you haven't seen it yet wait for the DVD.
