So what, let's watch X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)


The ultimate X-Men ensemble fights a war for the survival of the species across two time periods in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. The beloved characters from the original "X-Men" film trilogy join forces with their younger selves from the past, "X-Men: First Class," in order to change a major historical event and fight in an epic battle that could save our future.

The best X-Men movie to date. This film blends the First Class prequel/reboot and the original trilogy very efficiently and brings us a sci-fi action film that is hard not to leave cheering and/or, at the very least, smiling after the ending comes along (even the end-credits scene too). It has all the action, special effects, new and old mutant characters, and intriguing plot-lines you could ask for. It feels very focused and the best thing is that it brings back director Bryan Singer who injects the right amount of emotion and heart into the beloved franchise that he started.

It isn't the first superhero sequel of the summer, but with its massive ensemble cast and time-traveling storyline, X-Men: Days of Future Past might be the most epic. Now that the franchise's seventh installment has hit theaters with a bang, we've updated last week's list to include it, along with a look back at where the franchise has been and how well it's performed with critics. Get ready to get your snikt on, bub -- it's time for Total Recall!
