Finally an x-men movie that I can watch more than once :)
One of the best movies I have seen in the past years and for sure the best Marvel movie there is! Awesome!!
There's too much Wolverine again, but the Raven/Eric/Charles conflict and a formidable enemy in Trask and his Sentinels make this a winner. The best thing about this movie? Magneto, the young or old version, is such a great character. And the "future" Sentinels are amazing.
Place Raven as the hero was a bad decision. I really miss the old X-men movies.
7.5/10 - It had a lot of action, cool moments, and some fun. However, I did not like the "time travel" part. This variant was at least a bit better than normal time traveling but it still ruined the story for me. If it's possible to change the past then why should anything be meaningful?
The good things:
The bad things:
There where also lot's of good lines and scenes, e.g.:
Such a fun way to bring the two X-men timelines together and create a huge continuity issue but it's not really an issue anymore.
X-Men: Days of Future Past was pretty damn great and by far the best X-Men movie to date. The Quicksilver scene in particular was fantastic. I'm, errr, not entirely sure I understand all of the ending and time travel stuff, especially because they seemed to have just outright ignored what happened in past movies in the series.
Why does Wolverine "wake up" in his present day body? "Who" has been acting out whatever Wolverine has been up to in the present timeline? Has he somehow not been conscious this whole time?
Why has Trask not continued his sentinel program anyway?
Why is Xavier even alive after The Last Stand?
How does Magneto have his powers after The Last Stand?
Why is Kitty Pryde able to do time travel stuff at all?
Why is Mystique Stryker?
Why does Wolverine have adamantium claws after Wolverine?
What could JFK do?
Should I just pretend First Class and Days of Future Past are in their own universe from the rest of the films which were already inconsistent anyway and that they're the only things canon now?
RIP any semblance of continuity
And slowly the score slips downward some more...from Xmen being a 10 and so on and so forth... Thank you Deadpool for restoring some of my faith
My favourite X-Men movie! I love how they connected the old films with the new one, also the plot was great. Brings so much more depth into the characters. I was surprised about the other side of Charles Xavier. Overall a good movie. I loved how Wolverine brought back everyone who died in X-Men 3.
I have no idea how they did this, but X-Men: Days of Future Past manages to connect the old universe from the earlier movies with the new made with X-Men: First Class in an almost perfect way.
These are characters most of us comic book movie fans really care for, and by doing this they tie everything up without creating a set future. They did it with Star Trek, and now they manage it with the X-Men. Absolutely Brilliant!!!!
Good acting with a few exceptions. Very nicely written, and the sets and the cinematography are very nicely done. All in all a very nice watch.
One of the best movies i have ever seen
This movie is brilliant as it represents to us two different timelines
And i will say this again''Hugh Jackman is the wolverine he really earned this character for ever''.
I barely remember The Last Stand, but by the end of this movie I pretty much feel that this movie was purely an elaborate excuse to rewrite the past in the series. Also the plot didn't make that much sense... but obviously that doesn't matter if at the end they can just pretend it was all 'a dream'
"X-Men: Days of Future Past" is hands down one of the best in the X-Men saga, if you ask me! I mean, time-traveling mutants trying to save the world? What's not to love? The action is top-notch, the storyline is gripping, and seeing old and new X-Men characters team up was pure gold. It's got everything you could want in a superhero flick and then some. Seriously, it's a total winner in my book
Action packed and complex. Don't get me wrong, for how complex it is, it's very very easy to understand.
I'd go as far to say Xmen > Avenegers up until Infinity War. Also its everything Multiverse Of Madness missed.

What a thoroughly enjoyable. I absolutely like the two casts of the original and new movies coming together. Magneto has got to be one of the best villains in popular culture. A highly recommended watch for any comic book fans.
A disappointment after the shaky, but promising First Class. There are some good moments and it's fun to see the actors, but if it weren't for the cast and Singer's ability to direct compelling dramatic moments that actually feel impactful and like they could be from a more interesting alternate reality from our own, from the X-Men comics, (something which the X-Men films are the only to even get close to a proper comic book adaptation-- sorry jokey joke MCU) this would just be painfully stupid. I really wanted it to be better, but the technical/basic and advanced science bits were just frustratingly stupid and hamfisted, and, unfortunately, those sections of inept screenwriting bookend the film. One can only imagine what we could have gotten with the MCU's budget if the X-Men pre-boot had had competent writers. I haven't read the comics since my teens in the nineties, but it's tragic to think what could have been.
For me, X-Men movies are hit or miss. There have been some good ones and some very bad ones. This is one of the best, if not the best. There is a sense of desperation and hopelessness, with our heroes having only one shot to save mankind. The story is solid, with plenty of action and a few surprises along the way. Excellent casting as well, with a few exceptions.
This is still the same timeline that continues from "The Last Stand", yes ? If so, why has Magneto his powers back ??
damn how i love time travel stories
9.8 out of 10... want the perfect 10? Go watch Rogue Cut!
Wolverine gallops through time and space to deflect an ugly outcome for all of humanity, pausing frequently to give old cast members the time to wink directly into the camera and strut off set. I'm somewhat ashamed to admit I thought it was a rather large mess.
The story had a lot of potential, especially in the unusual settings of both timelines, but it somewhat predictably gets tangled in the tripwires often associated with a time travel flick and spends far too much time delivering fan service when it should've been examining character motivations and further world-building. Trask and his sentinels barely play a supporting role in the proceedings, giving them the impression of a patsy, and I'm still struggling to comprehend Magneto's decision-making in the third act. It retains all of the unease-inspiring puns and goofball moments that I'd hoped the series could shed, making it feel dated and slightly pandering... a significant backtrack from the progress made in First Class.
Even the built-in fireworks of the two heavyweight casts meeting face-to-face doesn't really work as well as it should. Seeing the new guys (McAvoy and Fassbender) alongside the old guard (Stewart and McKellen) didn't result in a torch-passing or spotlight the nuanced efforts that had so delighted me in the previous picture, it just made me yearn to see more of the older guys.
I mean, it's not all bad - the effects work is wonderful, it's a lot of fun spotting all the little love notes scattered about for hardcore fans, and the action roars along for a two-hour candyland cruise - but I had trouble shutting off my brain when earlier chapters hadn't been nearly so demanding in that department.
I remember that for some strange reason I did not like this film very much when I originally saw it in cinemas. Now nearly five years after its release and watching it for the first time at home I loved it! I's amazing how they brought the characters from all X-Men movies together and still delivered a great storyline. Also superb acting and awesome CGI. Perfect film for every X-Men fan.
Two generations are brought together for the ultimate X-Men film, Days of Future Past. Based on one of Marvel's seminal comics, Wolverine must travel back in time to prevent Mystique from setting into motion a series of events that will lead to the rise of the Sentinel program; which exterminates Mutant kind. Nearly the entire X-Men cast returns, making for exciting character combinations. However, the script tears up all series continuity and awkwardly integrates real world events into the plot. Still, overall the ambitiousness of the story is compelling and the action sequences are especially well-done. X-Men: Days of Future Past is a bold and daring sci-fi adventure, and serves as a fitting coda to the original X-Men trilogy.
xmen movie is getting from bad to worst
The mix of historical events with X-men universe is getting a bit standard. But still it's interesting to watch.
The saga is complicated, too many pieces.
I have tainted opinion when it comes to action-fantasy. And when the movie is mostly special effects then I don't pay attention too much to storyline, so I cannot speak to that. But if you like action with special effects and CGI, this one is a doozy! A bit unrealistic, but most of these genres are. Still, it's worth the watch for any XMen fans out there.
Wolverine is sent back in time to 1973 in order to stop an event that leads to the mass-extermination of mutants.
Time travel always causes some shaky plot holes and this is no exception, but somehow Singer just about manages to pull it off here. It’s an ambitious piece of work, old and young Xavier and Magneto try to co-exist in the same story but it miraculously doesn’t end in disaster.
In fact Days of Future Past is quite a blast (from the future past). There’s a decent blend of intense action, genuine drama and the old favourite X-Men theme: what is it to be human?
I miss the campy tone from from its predecessor, but actually the more serious feeling doesn’t hurt the film. I have to admit that at this point I keep having to Google who the characters are and what they did; this is a sixteen year-old franchise now and I surely can’t be the only one who’s struggling with the old references.
If super heroes are your thing then there are worse ways to spend a couple of hours. McAvoy and Fassbender alone make it worth a look.

Terrific superhero film, further enhanced by the slightly longer 'Rogue Cut.' Exciting and emotionally satisfying, this is the best X Men film yet.
Great! One of, if not THE, best X-Men movie in my opinion: a lot of action, a cool plot where even the time traveling aspect is dealt with in satisfactory way and cool special effects make this a very enjoyable action flick with some science fiction elements put into the mix.
I stand by my previous verdict: after the new Batman / The Dark Knight movies, the X-Men flicks along with Spiderman 1-3 (but not The Amazing Spiderman) are the best comic adaptions I know.
so only Logan and Charles remember bit of letdown but nice thriller X-Men movie,but that ending is quite great for the next sequel
Well, it wasn´t a perfect movie for me but I really like it. The young Magneto is totally awesome and Wolverine is awesome always! Sometimes there was scenes that I didn´t like too much "romance" for me.
not too much conflict.good CGI skills and many good scene to remember.what a line up
Following is a short combined review of the first 5 X-men movies, with the focus (of course) on this last one.
I just did a rewatch of the 5 X-Men movies released so far, this one easily tops all the previous ones.
Even though continuity is something they just don't seem to be able to manage properly in the X-men (cinematic) universe, and this movie also has its issues with that, it does not wreck this movie and is more of a sidenote than anything else. Mostly because the movie in itself (besides some smaller plot holes made for entertainment purposes) is very well worked out.
While the first 3 movies had some superior actors to the last 2, the stories are a lot better thought out. Popularity of the franchise with the mainstream cinema goer has gained a lot too since then, therefore its budget is much bigger as well (except for the 2006 'The Last Stand' which also had a massive budget.) This means bigger and more intense special effects.
I am of the opinion that Avoy and Fassbender are doing a great job on screen with their respectable character, but they do not top the iconic McKellen and Stewart, who are also present in this movie btw. It is hard to compare though, since the former have to play them at a younger age when the characters had a lot less experience than their older versions in the first 3 movies.
Talking about a recast; Mystique/Raven also got a new actress in the previous movie. Where it was first Rebecca Romijn who took up her role, she is now replaced with the (now massively popular) Jennifer Lawrence. I am a big fan of her work, and she does very well in X-Men too. It is only a massive compliment to Romijn that I think of her performance of Mystique as even better.
I found it sad that those 3 older (to me better) performances needed to work with way weaker movies and scripts.
With saying all that I also need to say that with supporting roles from Ellen Page, Evan Peters and Peter Dinklage this cast is without a doubt the better one overall.
The 2 newer movies, and especially this one, get more time in setting up a story and take time in character development and better timed dialogues. The movies are about 30 minutes longer than the first and the third one, but the rushed feeling in the second one proved that this is not a guarantee for a better movie. There seem to be more sets, more changing situations and every shot, scene and setting seems better worked out with more attention to detail. And all this without getting hopelessly lost in a confusing back and forth plot. Which is quite the accomplishment considering it contains time travel!
With a 3rd instalment on the way (2016) I can only imagine what they have in store with us. Apocalypse and his 4 horsemen are coming (already giving us a glimpse of them after the credits) and we will get Jubilee!
The perfect blend between character-driven drama and fun, edge-of-your-seat spectacle!
Love the end, the way it should be.
What a crazy great movie!!
I really don't understand the x-men timeline: I thought Pica...eh Charles was dead?! Anyhow, great movie!
Rated it 5 out of 5 stars ★★★★★
It's finally time give this one a look off the To-Watch Pile!
Yawnage, exactly the same as the other movies, just another rehash...
Para pasar el rato en el avión, está bien. Final predecible...
The first 20 minutes were really atrocious (I was close to shutting it down), the rest is passable but dragged out popcorn time (the final fight was not great either though). Kind of annoying how every Marvel movie is packed with generic and bad looking CG monsters... I'm kinda sorry for all these actors having signed on for the franchise (in exchange for $$$) because they all seem horribly bored on screen.
OK... how are they going to get everyone of the4 characters from the original trilogy and the prequels into one movie that's around 2hrs long... Is what I said to myself when I first heard the outline to the movie last year.
I did my best to avoid any internet spoilers, only allowing myself to watch the trailers before seeing the movie.
Whilst my overall impression and experience was very positive, there are a few glaring errors and omissions that taint the storyline. I'll list them now and then get on with the positives.
1: No mention of Trask or these sentinels in any of the previous movies, and given that the original trilogy was set from around 2000 onwards and that the Wolverine Origins movie was early to mid 80's.
2: Stryker - We know for a fact that he recruited both Logan and his half Brother Creed during the Vietnam war and yet this version only meets him after the war.
3: The Professor is able to walk again with some miracle drug cooked up by Beast... a drug that suppresses the mutant gene and somehow miraculously cures a severed spinal cord... give me a friggin break.
4: The whole Magneto & Mystique are now mortal enemies part... but all kissy kissy in the rest of the movies. Completely unbelievable and as a sub plot ruins part of the movie.
For a movie that appears to be trying so hard to fit in stuff from all the other movies, some of the things it leaves out is a little silly... and don't give me the excuse that 'the timeline you see in the previous movies is the one that's been altered to save them'... because that doesn't work... If that was the case then the new movie wouldn't begin in the future world populated by these sentinels at all. No mention is made that this is some kind of alternate reality/future... It's a huge stinking cock up. Don't even get me started on the vastly advanced technology that have in the mid 70's to create these fracking sentinels in the first place... back when computers powerful enough to go to the moon were still the size of a small house... they just happen to be able to make one small enough to fit inside a 12ft tall robot that's able to DNA scan people at a distance, process the information, make decisions and be able to control flight, weapons and so forth.... Give me a friggin break.
I'd much rather they just stuck with the reboot back story and continued on from there... by all means use the original actors, but ignore the other movies entirely.
I know it's a movie, but it's also a movie that in some ways tries to ground itself in a world we know, that we have and are living through. Some technological things are easily overlooked in a sci-fi movie... but things like that in sci-fi set in the past are not.
OK, so that's the mini rant out of the way... and ignoring those little things that irk me... I really enjoyed the movie. It's not the best in the series (inc standalone and original trilogy)... But I'd put it in 4th behind the 3rd placed 'Wolverine' 2nd place 'First Class' and the best one 'X2: X-Men united'. The original X-Men is 5th and the poor 'Origins Wolverine' in last.
The visual effects are top notch, the acting is excellent as you'd expect with such a fine array of talent involved. Most of the dialogue was good, a few ropey parts... mainly centered around Trask or Magneto... I found some of it a little stifled and forced.
Set pieces are well constructed, well played out and work towards the final confrontation. The future battle scenes are over all too quickly for my liking... Not enough time given to the older versions of themselves... Just not enough screen time given to Stewart and McKellan... who I both admire greatly.
If you like the X-Men series, this film is well worthwhile watching and owning.
This was a good movie, nowhere near captain america winter soldier or guardians of the galaxy but with good actors and a good base story (The Original Days of future past which is far superior from the movie) you cannot go wrong.
Sending Wolverine back instead of Kitty Pride is a mistake but since Wolverine is their cashcow I understand it. Also I found the future sentinals to powerful.
Hope they have the guts to film "God Loves, Man Kills" next.
veramente fantastico!
Loved Quicksilver's slow-motion scene :)
Best movie in the franchise without a doubt , really amazing , the story , the stunt scenes and the end , a must see
They changed the epic style for history and extended the relationships between the characters. I like that.
هذا الاعلان م يخليني اشوف الفلم
It says much about the quality of this entry into the X-Men franchise that it repairs most of the damage done from the fallout over Singer's departure from the series after the first sequel as well as tell a coherent story involving time travel. That it also never forgets amidst all the usual spectacle to focus on the characters is a welcome bonus - the finale may boast impressive effects, but at its heart it comes down to the core relationship between two key characters and surprisingly for an X-Men film, Wolverine isn't one of them.
Indeed this is a film full of pleasant surprises, playing on the audience's knowledge of previous films with fun little moments and giving the older cast a decent send-off if indeed this is to be their last one. Fassbender and McAvoy more than compensate in their younger roles and Jennifer Lawrence is fantastic here. Singer has left the tantalising possibility of two possible future instalments involving different casts if the studio wanted and that is an exciting prospect.
Don't forget the post credits scene
Had too many plotholes, when you actually sit down to think about it. But at least they retconned the disaster thats X-men last stand.
Ha estado bien, la alternancia de tiempos, la historia,las luchas, aunque me gusto algo más la primera
I watched this movie today with a friend. She had trouble sorting things out, timewise. But she admitted, she hadn't seen the original trilogy in a while, plus she barely remembered the first Wolverine movie, the second she hadn't watched yet. To me it made rather sense. We both wondered, about Quicksilver, he is supposed to be Magnetos offspring... he doesn't seem to know about that yet XD I didn't like the actor, but he captured his quirkiness quite well. However, we both had issues with Shadowcat's new power... this variation of time travel bothered us both. We probably would have been more compliant if the Doctor in his T.A.R.D.I.S. had shown up....
I wasn't to sure about the end. Is Logan back again? Has the Last Stand really been ret-conned? I recently watched the second Wolverine movie, and there he was clearly having hallucinations about Jean... and since I am pretty sure Logan shared memories of him rescuing that Japanese officer, he clearly was there, this happened and wasn't left out.
We also both wondered, what Logan was doing all these years, when he suddenly wakes up as himself, supposedly decades after this crisis. Had Mystic him brainwashed? Is he still lying on the ground of the river, constantly dying, hallucinating, to cope with his torturous fate? Has it something to do with the fact, that he was still in between time? I mean, future Kitty had been killed while she was still connecting him to the past... who knows what kind of side-effects a procedure like that might have.
And I won't even start on those future sentinels... those were... mean, and how the hell is this tech-shit supposed to work? Well I guess that explains the rather confusing intro, starting from molecules, building up to DNA strands and develop into some sort of optical circuit or whatever (seemed like hardware one way or the other).
All together I liked the movie rather well. It kind of felt like all those characters we've come to know from the first X-Men trilogy were mere extras, Storm, Bobby, etc. most of those of the future cast. I'd say this is a Bromance going menage a trois with a little jealousy about the girl that supposedly caused The War. And how on earth do they manage to make Magneto always the bad guy in the end??? I mean, even if everything goes real well, he has some kind of fit and suddenly turns back into this black-and-white-sterotypically thinking teenage boy that lashes out when he is out of his depth >.< that feels more tedious the more that happens...
I found this rather enjoyable, despite having to suspend my disbelief quite a few times (I mean, even for a superhero movie)...
Some pretty awesome action sequences and it was great to see so many of the cast from the "old" and "young" in the same movie.
I also really like how the ending basically ret-conned the god-awful third film, "The Last Stand".
I guess the marketing machine totally worked on me, I got so driven into the movies today. But I gotta say, that was one awesome way to unite the X-Men movie time chaos. I really enjoyed watching it and I don't regret it. If you are even halfway interested in some Marvel stuff, you gotta see it!
Quicksilver was great, hope he has a bigger role in the next one
Probably the best X-Men film so far! Amazing acting, incredible visual effects, and constantly entertaining. The only thing I can complain about is the lack of some characters who only appeared for about 5 minutes, as the main focus is on other characters. I feel like it fixes the gaps between First Class and the other movies, and leaves great potential for future films!
"Are we destined to destroy each other, or can we change each other and unite? Is the future truly set?"
One of my most anticipated films for this year and wow I am so happy because X-Men: Days of Future Past totally exceeded my expectations!
This film is not just another ordinary entertaining flick, it's not just explosions and special effects all over the place. It has all of the ingredients that this type of films need but with strong and very important differences. It's one of the finest superhero films that I've ever seen in many ways with first class acting and a very well structured plot with all of the right elements and the right connections that we need to put everything together. For that we need to know at least the basics about the characteristics and habilities of the characters from other films but that will not prevent the ones who didn't followed the previous films to enjoy this one anyway.
For an entertaining film this has such an immense power on us. We care about the characters more and more, as the tension is gets higher and higher leaving us at the edge of our seat almost the whole time. Between action scenes and emotional moments there's also moments o humour to lose the tension a bit and those moments were great, delivered very cleverly at the right places to light up the dark and engaging atmosphere.
Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy are two of my favorite actors. It was impossible for me not to like them in here. Both gave amazing performances, they are able to give depth to his characters and transmit to us all of the emotions that we need to feel through them and what's more amazing about the two is that happens no matter the role they play that's why they are so amazing. Hugh Jackman is Wolverine, this will be one of those characters that we will always see when we look at him and he plays it very well too. Jennifer Lawrence is always perfect no matter what. All of the small appearances from all of the actors involved in other X-Men films were great to see, for more small they might have been. And of course a very special mention for the two legends Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Patrick Stewart.
I did not gave this five stars just for one reason, it left me with some questions in my head. Things that might be a bit complicated to understand because we already saw many things that happened in the future... The future of X-Men films will be the same? Or this events will affect other films forward with different stories? Anyway, let's wait and see.
Well done Bryan Singer and thank you for your amazing job directing this film. Btw I liked your cameo!
X-Men: Days of Future Past is awesome and it will be for sure one of my favorites of the year.
A solid 8/10 from me. This is a well made and well executed movie. Great story telling for new and old fans alike. Go watch it and enjoy 2+ solid hours of Marvel entertainment, told the Singer way.
Well done everyone.
Dupy nie urywa
Really love First Class movies, probably even more then the old X-men movies.
The kitchen scene when he puts on his headphones is awwwwsooommeeee with a nice soundmix, personal favorite!
X-Men : Days Of Future Past or how to reboot a franchise already rebooted by leaving all the previous movies canon. That's how you can resume Bryan Singer's new X-movie.
After the reboot of the franchise by Matthew Vaughn and his excellent X-Men : First Class, the father of the X-men movies take back the helm ! Singer had made the choice to use the old comic book material to make a twist in the mutant universe. With his so called "inbetweequel', the director offer a new vision of the X-Men by mixing the 1970's and the present or future.
Trying to accommodate two age with the same characters is not simple, but SInger really nails it ! X-Men DOFP is a really great super-heroes/mutant film. By far it's, for me, one of the best X-men movie. Even if I really prefer what Vaughn did on First Class. Singer is creating a new X-Verse without denying the past of the mutants that we know (even what happen in X-Men The Last Stand and the terrible X-Men Origins : Wolverine). Truly a great idea ! In my opinion, it's the first time a franchise is so well rebooted.
I was a little afraid to see too much characters, but in fact the story mainly focus on Xavier, Magneto, Wolverine, Mystique, and Beast. Fassbender, Lawrence, Jackman and McAvoy really do the job, but I've mixed feelings regarding Hoult performance. Yes there's also a bunch of other mutants that you can see in the future part, but they're not the main characters (Like Bishop played by french actor Omar Sy who appears 5 minutes, with two sentences). I was really surprise by the good use of Quicksilver in a truly funny/great scene. Concerning Peter Dinklage, he plays a perfect B. Trask fascinated by mutants !
X-Men : Days of Future Past is a great movie, which addresses the old mutants theme of resistance, diversity, and minorities acceptance in a new way, where every human is concerned.
Pretty hyped about this movie! Can't wait to see the trailer, which is probably just gonna make me even more hyped.
Bryan Singer has confirmed Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) in the cast of his X-Men: First Class sequel, Days of Future Past!

Although set in a comic book universe, X-Men Days of Future Past is very much a thriller with Sci fi themes. The full cast from all the movies get involved, some for major reprisals and some for small cameos but nothing that feels cliche or trite. Hugh Jacman IS and ALWAYS will be Wolverine.
I can't way for X-Men Apocalypse now!
