X-Men: Days of Future Past is a movie
steeped in the history of everyone’s favorite squad of mutants. Not only does
it tell one of the franchise’s most cherished narrative arcs, written by
legendary comic scribe Chris Claremont in the early 1980s—though admittedly
with some major changes to the plot—it also reunites the titular superheroes
with director Bryan Singer for the first time in more than a decade. Fun, epic,
and wide reaching, Days of Future Past is a solid follow up to
First Class, but a number flaws keep it from being one of
the best of the franchise.
