The way that Quicksilver’s super speed effect has been done is amazing. The visuals in the scene are gorgeous, the music is perfect, and it’s both hilarious and stunning. There is one particular sequence with him in a kitchen, and it is jaw-droppingly beautiful. He doesn’t have a huge amount of screen time and it comes fairly early on in the movie, but he is the best part of this film by far. In fact, it’s worth seeing this movie just for him. But there is one new character who is greater than all, and that character is Quicksilver. Then we have all of the new characters, like Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage), Bishop (Omar Sy) and Blink (Bingbing Fan), all of whom are great. I was surprised at how prominent a role Jennifer Lawrence had as Mystique, over the past few months I’ve had a growing dislike towards Jennifer Lawrence but I can’t deny that she is great in this role. We also have the future X-Men cast with the like of Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan and Ellen Page, and while they have a lot less screen time they’re still great. James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender are incredible as Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr respectively, their characters have an amazing relationship and the two of them are just phenomenal at pulling it off. He is Wolverine, the role is made for him and he absolutely owns it. We have Hugh Jackman returning as Wolverine, and there’s not much to say about him that hasn’t already been said. It even feels weird just saying that, because righting the wrongs that those movies made is a huge, monumental task, yet this movie pulls it off perfectly.įor a movie that’s crowded with so many characters, it’s surprising that all of the characters included feel meaningful and aren’t shoehorned in. This movie even manages to validate ‘X-Men: The Last Stand’ and ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’, which is something that I thought could never be done. ‘Days Of Future Past’ marks an occasion where it goes very well, as the time travel logic in this movie is very well thought out and makes perfect sense, I can’t pick any holes in it. They send Wolverine back in time to 1973 where he must recruit Professor X, Magneto and Mystique in order to change the course of history so that the X-Men may survive.įirst things first, this is a time travel movie, and time travel movies normally either go very well or very badly. In ‘Days Of Future Past’, the X-Men of the future are facing extinction due to the sentinels which threaten to wipe them all out. I was just expecting it to be good though, but it turns out not only is ‘Days Of Future Past’ the best X-Men movie yet, it’s also one of the best comic-book movies ever made. That being said, I was still looking forward to ‘Days Of Future Past’, what with it being the return of the old ‘X-Men’ crew, and I was also moderately familiar with the ‘Days Of Future Past’ comic. Now, I used to be a pretty big X-Men fan a few years ago, but after the disappointments of ‘X-Men: The Last Stand’ and ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’, I kind of just stopped caring about the franchise, even though the subsequent two movies were actually very good (the aforementioned ‘X-Men: First Class’ and then ‘The Wolverine’). X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ serves as a sequel to both ‘X-Men: First Class’ (which is excellent) and ‘X-Men: The Last Stand’ (which is pretty bad).
