Best X-Men movie to have come out till date and also raises the standard of the X-Men Franchise

Rating: 9/10 (25 May 2014)

Director Bryan Singer returns back to the X-Men Franchise after a gap of 9 years and is blazing guns to make sure that his recent outing X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) comes out well as this movie happens to be 7th movie in the series and third for Bryan Singer as director. Matthew Vaughn who had directed X-Men: First Class (2011) joins along with Singer as one of the writers for this movie.
The movie begins in the dystopian future in the year 2023 where we are shown the last remaining X-Men fighting hard against the robots known as Sentinels, built for the solitary purpose of mutant obliteration. At one point, the X-Men who are alive regroup and devise a plan to stop the Mutant Annihilation before it ever begins and finally Professor X/Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and Magneto/Erik Lensherr (Sir Ian Mc Kellen) decide to send Wolverine/Logan (Hugh Jackman) back in to the past to change the itinerary of events so that Mutants are left for good rather than dead. From this point, the movie travels back into the 1970s where the rest of the story builds and happens. Furthermore telling of the story would be like giving out the spoilers or even like revealing the complete plot.
This movie's main strength lies neither in the Mind Blowing Visual Effects nor in the Cutting Edge Action Sequences as how most of the superhero movies rely upon; instead Bryan Singer has done a brilliant work in executing this movie with more attention provided in the areas of character design and depiction, storytelling and screenplay. The director deserves a mention and applause for the above since this movie has an ensemble cast of many X-Men characters sharing screen space in various situations and the makers have to be careful that not even a single moment in the movie gets overcrowded and goes haywire.
The movie's casting is overwhelming since you have Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Michael Fassbender, Charles McAvoy, Ellen Page, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Jeniffer Lawrence and Nicholas Hault sharing screen space throughout the movie , but they make their appearance suitably for the scenes where they are needed the most. One of the movie's most entertaining factors is the Short Cameo done by Quicksilver/Peter Maximoff (Evan Peters) which is sure to leave the viewers enthralled till the movie's end and also to mention the thrilling climax sequence where Magneto/Erik Lensherr (Michael Fassbender) yet again proves that why he is considered and feared as one of the most powerful mutants.
This movie acts as a sequel to X-Men: First Class (2011) and X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) and also all other X-Men movies are linked with this movie so one has to have watched all movies in the X-Men franchise or at least have an idea of their main plot and happenings to get this movie completely at the end and how things have worked out. This movie keeps you thinking and puzzled at certain phases of the movie and you even think to have a re-watch of all X-Men movies again to make sure that you are following the movie in its way though you might have watched them all several times.
To conclude, this is the Best X-Men movie to have come out till date and also raises the standard of the X-Men Franchise and also for the upcoming movie in the series. This movie will stand out and receive acclaims for it making, presentation and most of all for brilliantly using the concept of time travel mechanism.
