X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)

The greatest movie ever made..!

Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

'X-men Days Of Future Past (2014)' serves as an apt goodbye to the original cast and a fitting initiation of the new one. This time-travel feature includes some great characters and interesting ideas but an occasional lack of action that does make for a drier watch the second time around, once you know where things are heading. Still, the lulls in excitement never last too long and there isn't usually a lack of character to drive the admittedly somewhat complex plot. The set-pieces that do occur are lavish and well designed, featuring interesting villains and impressively rendered superpowers clashing over two time periods. It's engaging stuff, compelling and interesting throughout. Most importantly, it's entertaining. 8/10

Probably my favorite movie out of the entire superhero genre. It can't compete on pure cinematography with Whedon, or the creative reinterpretation of Nolan, or even the visuals of Snyder.Consider, though, that it adds meaning to 4 prior movies that were made in the shallow days of hero movies, retroactively creating motivations and plot foreshadowing in almost 8 hours of cinema that weren't meant to go anywhere, while developing the relationships between the main characters and progressing the story lines of side characters in the background.It's an incredible work of art, and the piece that made me a huge can of Bryan Singer.However, it does sadden me that to get the full emotional impact from the film you have to watch X1-3 (and Wolverine Origins, too), which are nowhere near as good films and are extremely dated by today's genre standards.When I really want someone to watch this movie, I still do make them sit through the 8+ hours of backstory, but at least I feel a little guilty about it =P

I don't want to give much away, but of all of the X-Men ever made, this is one of my favorites!The additional cast was concerning, but overall actually added to this film.Of course the rest of the usual cast were on point as usual, but what made this movie different than the others, was not the battle of good vs evil, but the timeline differences and the new cast's involvement.A great addition to the X-Men franchise, and a 9/10 from me!

Having Bryan Singer back in charge clearly makes all the difference in the world. This man was born to make X-Men films. The first two X-Men movies were excellent, also done by Bryan Singer. X-Men: the last stand was an OK movie with some very bad logic flaws but the two wolverine films prior this were terrible in my opinion. The first thing this movie does right is it appears to disregard these completely. Because of X- Men: the last stand, Bryan Singer had his work cut out for him to undo all the logic flaws and I must say I was a bit skeptical after the epic fail of superman returns, but you can clearly see that Singer has done his homework and created a magical film with a lot of heart in the story and characters. Without giving too much away, I will say that every scene is breathtaking. The story is a well-constructed piece of emotion and heart. What really makes this film work is the complexity of the characters, especially Charles Xavier (professor X, both older and younger), Raven, and Magneto. What all these characters have in common is they are all tortured souls. As for Logan, well, Hugh Jackman is always fantastic, but the real star of the show is McAvoy, Fassbender, Lawrence. All of their characters help you to feel something for them. This movie presents a time travel paradox, if you cannot look past that or are a viewer that prefers mainly non fiction, or cannot take sci fi leaps of faith, ignore this review. We'll both be better off.See this film. It is probably the best superhero movie of the last decade. The only ones that are of the same caliber of superhero movies are Christopher Nolan's Batman movies. In some ways this film is even better. Rating: 10
