X-Men: Days of Future Past | Rotten Tomatoes (1) David Sims The Atlantic It is especially impressive that Days of Future Past is a success; a film this gooey and complex, with such business-minded scope, should not feel like a real movie at all. Sep 22, 2016 Full Review X-Men: Days of Future Past | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Katey Rich Vanity Fair In an age when more and more movies just feel like stepping-stones toward the next, bigger things, is it so much to ask that it be a good movie all on its own? Jul 13, 2015 Full Review X-Men: Days of Future Past | Rotten Tomatoes (3) David Stratton At the Movies (Australia) I guess I am a sucker for these sort of time travel films, travelling back in time to change the course of history. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 2, 2015 Full Review X-Men: Days of Future Past | Rotten Tomatoes (4) JD Duran InSession Film While more action would of been ideal, there are some great character moments here that this franchise is known for. Rated: A- Aug 19, 2024 Full Review X-Men: Days of Future Past | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Cory Woodroof For the Win (USA Today) You can feel the gripping emotional undercurrent, admire the level of difficulty in the story that’s told or just rewatch at the Quicksilver “Time in a Bottle” sequence to really appreciate how great this movie is. Jul 22, 2024 Full Review X-Men: Days of Future Past | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Effectively united some of the elements that X-Men fans had been waiting years to see, though doesn't quite due justice to the source material and squanders the good will of what X-Men: First Class earned the series. Rated: 4/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Lúcio Leonardo P “Mutants bite me”, but I, who expected a “good” film, found it average. Why? Because I thought the story could be more developed for such a complex subject. That the plot could be more elaborate and not give the feeling that it was produced to try to correct past mistakes. And the worst thing is that it doesn't correct it, it just alleviates it and yes, it brings new ones. It's a bit slow, with a script that I didn't really like because it didn't spark greater interest. Don't worry, the film isn't bad. The special effects are spectacular (the scene of the stadium being moved is fantastic), the soundtrack pleases our ears and some characters steal the show, like Mercury, who for me are the best the story has to offer. The problem was the narrative, unfortunately, which may hold our attention, but does not develop at the level it should. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Nick R X-men at their finest in this movie! The plot is smart and the characters are great. Plus the Quicksilver is scene is just fantastic! Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Trent K Not only is it the best X Men movie, but it's one of the best superhero movies ever made. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Spencer S X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST is the perfect X-Men film, a wild fucking turvy ride of a movie. This movie mixes everything we have come to love about the two distinct timelines, showing us the true heart of the series is not Wolverine or any of the X-Men, but the two men who founded them, two men who are so diametrically opposed they are destined to collide. Time-travel, sentinels, mutant battles, the raging 70's, wolverine in over his head, too many character actors to mention, this one truly has everything, far too much to list. I fucking loved this one. If only the series had continued on this trajectory. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review David R One of the greatest superhero films ever made! Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Brock P I am not exaggerating when I say this is one of if not the best superhero movie I have seen. The performances were amazing along with quotes that made me get goosebumps. The whole movie made a comeback for the X-Men Franchise by literally fixing their mistakes. This is one of the best conclusions to any movie series or franchise. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
