With mutants now facing extinction, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) volunteers to go back in time and rally the X-Men of the past to help change a pivotal moment in history and thereby save their future.

Aug 17, 2021When I first saw this movie, I adored it. I loved everything it did for the franchise, action films, and the superhero genre as a whole. Now, years later and many superhero films onward, it still holds up as a great film, but maybe not the landmark piece I held it up as. For one, it's still got that uncomfortable Bryan Singer length. By the 1 ½ mark, I was about ready to check out. For an over 2 hour movie, that's a problem. It pulled me back in, but pacing has always been an issue for him. That's probably the films biggest problem because otherwise, it really works. The action is great, the themes are great, the characters are great, and there are just some stellar moments here. Seeing McAvoy and Stewart share a scene together still gives me chills. It's not a perfect movie, but godamn is it a good one, and it does it's best to fix what was becoming a clustercuss of a timeline for this franchise.Michael M Super Reviewer

Jul 25, 2016X-Men: Days of Future Past is a definite big-budget triumph, especially when compared to the lacklustre efforts of its successor, X-Men Apocalypse. The plot is so clever and doesn't insult Marvel's hardcore fans by changing important elements of the story or not giving certain characters enough screen time. Thankfully, in such a huge cast no one is really overshadowed and everyone plays their part well, something else that Apocalypse really should have done. The razor sharp bleakness of the future corresponds ridiculously well with Singer's dreamy and familiar vision of the past. It follows alot of the same tropes at the same time however, but they are all presented different enough that they are new and exciting but obvious enough that they are surpass a hint and become homage. Magneto's catastrophic display of destruction, themes of segregation and genetic seclusion, politics and a seemingly indestructible enemy. A really fantastic entry and my second favourite entry in the series.Harry W Super Reviewer
