X-Men Days of Future Past is a really solid movie. It's like if X2 and First class had an offspring. Being that those are the two greatest X-Men films, that's a good thing. The thing that keeps me from going gaga over it is that it feels like a set up film. I think the people making these things realized that X3 had tainted the franchise for a lot of people. This movie feels like it's there to wash the bad taste of X3 out of everyone's mouth. It's there to fix the timeline and to allow the franchise to go in a whole new direction without truly rebooting. The problem is that it's not really an X-Men movie. After First Class, the X-Men disbanded, so we don't really have an actual team of X-Man, we have Charles, Logan, and Hank, who are briefly aided by Quicksilver, trying to save the world. Logan tells Charles about how he needs to form the X-Men, but that doesn't actually happen in the film. I think that Apocalypse will be a better film, as we'll see the origins of the X-Men proper. 9/10 from me.
