Con todo esto, estamos ante una MUY buena película de SUPERHÉROES. Es una película muy bien construida con un guión que maneja genial a tantos personajes, que tiene un pequeño defecto y es que no incorpora apenas a Lobezno en la acción que siempre esta como muy "al márgen", por lo demás perfecto. También decir a su favor lo bien que maneja la trama en dos líneas temporales a la vez, lo que indica lo bien trabajado que está. El reparto es fantástico como es de esperar con el caché de los actores que participan.

En definitiva, es una película de mucho más nivel de lo que esperaba encontrarme en la segunda película que veo de la saga y que, sin duda, me ha dejado con muchas ganas de ver la siguiente película de los mutantes ya mismo. Un notable alto, 8.… Expand

This film's strong side is the combination of the first generation and second generation cast building up in a nostalgic momentum, but also the contrast of campy past and dark future works very well.

There are a lot of characters, plotlines, and relationships as the film tries to continue the story from both First Class and The Last Stand while tying these together. While the film did feel like a little too much at times everything felt necessary for the story and it was all balanced well. Brian Synger returns to give us one of the better films in the franchise with fun action, an engaging story, and great characters with lots of solid relationships. Fans of the three X-Men films that are considered good (1, 2, and First Class) will enjoy this movie as it is another solid entry and the ending will make diehard fans extremely happy. It may not be the best X-Men film, best superhero film, or best of the summer but considering how this franchise was struggling five years ago it’s a miracle its been able to bounce back without completely rebooting itself. While I wish the franchise would just end on this film as the ending does provide a nice sense of closure, especially for the future storyline, they are going to continue. If this franchise is destined to go on for a while, my only hope is that it we keep the ball in the air continuing to provide fun and entertaining films for many years to come.… Expand

It boasts many exciting action scenes (particularly the slow-mo scene + the final battle happening in the two timelines simultaneously), and these scenes are expertly executed by the very talented director Bryan Singer.

However, my favorite X-Men movie is still First Class. While it didn't have great action as Days of Future Past, it had better drama. You could feel the struggle of the characters, particularly that of Mystique, Beast, and Magneto.

This installment also has drama; but the big number of characters, and the distribution of screen time among them, prevents their struggle to be given enough time to be compelling. I believe Xavier's arc could have had more emotional resonance to it, as well as the future Xavier and Magneto finally reconciling their differences. The final scene of Wolverine back in school was very nice, though.

I would've also appreciated if the story made more use of the background setting (Vietnam), the same way First Class used its own (Cuban Missile Crisis).

All in all, it's a very entertaining X-Men movie. It's definitely among the finest installments in the franchise, but i really feel it could have been more than that. It could have been a classic, on the same level as a certain Batman movie that exceeded all expectations back in it's day. I can't help but feel a bit disappointed.… Expand

This film is viscerally relentless in spectacular fight scenes and moments of pure speculation on our characters which weaves beautifully and brutally into the chaotic future it so holds. However, I do not prefer this one over first class. That is unprecedented in my personal opinion. The main issue being in it's subtlety. There are a few sequences which seem to pile on explanation as 'would you believe I'm from the future?' with a comedic moment. Although in some scenarios, it is well done. A moment that works especially well is the one on one with Xavier and Xavier, and from a conclusive standpoint, it works artfully well. For me, X-men days of future past is not as fantastic as First Class, and in some ways lacks. But as a symbolic resolution, this is impressively fun and presents a relevant moral message that we can all follow, and even has the guts to make it conspicuous in it's development whilst proving that there are no true lefts or rights to each character, much like mutants, we are a complex mesh. A minority, and by showing each other the right way and instead of destroying each other, a peaceful end may come.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Once again, it’s time for another superhero movie – another superhero sequel to be precise. There have been a lot of these lately, but that seems to be the way of the world. Now, counting all spin-offs and prequels, we’re on the seventh X-Men movie, with an eighth confirmed to be on the way, continuing the franchise that started it all back in 2000. We’ve even got the original director Bryan Singer back in the chair, who previously abandoned the franchise to make the quickly forgotten Superman Returns (2006).

However, rather than take the easy route and reboot it, this film is an ambitious attempt to reconcile the existing storyline, tie up some of the loose ends of X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) and bring it all together with the cast of prequel X-Men: First Class (2011). The result ends up a little jumbled, and there are loads and loads of characters, and multiple actors playing certain characters, but perhaps that’s to be expected in any film involving time travel as a major plot point.

That’s right, as the title heavily implies, in a Back to the Future-style confusion of tenses, this film is largely set in the ‘70s, sometime after the events of First Class. It’s very easy for me to get behind such a film, chock full of retro vibes, cool cars, leather jackets, burgundy suits, sideburns and Richard Nixon.

Meanwhile in the future, the post-Last Stand world has decayed into a bleak apocalyptic landscape as a result of amazingly advanced mutant-killing robots, which have decimated the population by being too effective – not only do they kill mutants, but they kill those who recessively carry mutant genes and could give birth to mutants in the future.

Naturally, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) must go back in time to the ‘70s and stop these robots from being developed and mass-produced, ironically by preventing the assassination of their inventor, Bolivar Trask, as it was his death that made the US government see mutants as a credible threat and commission the robots. The delightfully sinister and manipulative Trask is played by Game of Thrones’ excellent Peter Dinklage.

Indeed, the cast as a whole is excellent, even if it is large. I never saw First Class, so ‘my’ X-Men remain that classic cast of thespians including Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, et al. Happily, they’re all back after so many years, which is great to see, even if they are only given limited screen time. The exception is Hugh Jackman, who inexplicably remains the closest thing to a leading man despite having two spin-offs of his own. Of course, Wolverine’s effortlessly cool, and he’s our temporal fish out of water, so who really cares anyway?

In the past, Wolverine runs into younger versions of all his comrades and nemeses, rounding out the ensemble to include Professor X (James McAvoy), Beast (Nicholas Hoult), Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence). The lines between friend and foe become blurred as Wolverine works hard to redeem the latter two whilst forcing the young Professor X to confront his demons.

Of note is the first appearance in the X-Men saga of the supersonic Quicksilver (Even Peters) who provides one of the most high-octane, humorous and entertaining sequences of the entire film, a super-fast prison break witnessed in slow motion. It’s a shame his character disappears shortly afterwards; probably because his presence would make everything else far too easy for the protagonists.

The mutant saga is skilfully interwoven with mid-20th Century US history, including the Kennedy assassination and the Vietnam War. This sets the scene for a retro globetrotting adventure from Vietnam, to the Peace Conference in Paris, to a final showdown in Washington, D.C. All in all it’s an entertaining thrill ride, which (as its main raison d’être is storyline reconciliation) may alienate newcomers to the saga. However, as I said, I haven’t seen an X-Men film since The Last Stand and I still enjoyed it. It certainly makes me want to watch both First Class and the original trilogy once again. Maybe even the Wolverine spin-offs. Maybe.… Expand

This movie has the arduous task of tying two different casts of the same basic characters together across the span of time. Marvel did a nice job here and manages to pull it off. It harkens back a little to Star Trek Generations where Kirk and Picard are in the same movie. Speaking of that there is a little Star Trek Easter Egg in this movie, so see if you catch it :) So this was the future X-men connecting with the past X-men. The cast of X-men First Class meets the cast of the three X-men movies with Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen.

The writers did a nice job on the story. The future and the past mesh well and that is not an easy task with time travel type scenarios. During the middle third of the movie I wasn’t really feeling it. I like it, don’t get me wrong, but the plot just kind of happens. There are times in the film that it seems to drag a bit. Never does it venture into dull or boring and story elements do move forward in a timely fashion. This one was not the epic action packed adventure of say, The Avengers. Rather, it moves through a lot of story content, so dialog is very important. The dialog in this film is a little sub-par for a Marvel movie. Over all at the end, I just didn’t have that holy cow that was an awesome experience as I was leaving the theater.

Not getting that wow factor could have allot to do with Marvel superhero fatigue. Let’s face it there is no shortage of heroes in masquerade on the big screen these days. This is the fifth installment of X-Men; so this was a tall order for Marvel to keep it interesting. They pulled it off however. I really like the connection that was made between these two “eras” of X-men. The Wolverine is a key player in this film and as usual Hugh Jackman is the man and he IS the Wolverine!

I was very pleasantly surprised with the prequel movie “First Class” that introduced us to the new cast of mutants. Although this latest effort fails to reach the high marks of that film, it does fare quite well overall in a sea of great superhero movies. First Class had better dialog and a deliciously sinister villain, portrayed by Kevin Bacon. The villain in Days of Future Past is more nebulous. In the “future” plot, it is not an individual but more of a bad idea gone worse. In the “past” the villain tends to track well with the X-Men comics and story as the villains are often misunderstood mutants with an eye for survival against fearful humans. Although this latest effort fails to reach the high marks of that film, it does fare quite well overall in a sea of great superhero movies.

I give this one a solid 7 on the Metacritic scale.… Expand

An all-star ensemble delivers one of the better and more captivating superhero movie in recent time, despite the use of a rather mystifying time travel plot. They do a remarkable job of keeping the audience invested to the characters, each with brimming personality to ensure there's never a dull moment. Visually, the movie is captivating, its contrast tone bridges the colorful 70s and severely bleak future impeccably. It also appropriately utilizes good humor throughout the seemingly melancholy plot.

X-Men: Days of Future Past is an ambitious movie, it brings the newer cast from First Class as well as the older trilogy, plus Hugh Jackman. The time traveling gimmick could be a puzzling one, and in some occasions there are tricky twists that rely on heavy expositions. However, the movie pulls it off quite neatly with balanced pacing. The complexity doesn't divert the focus away from relationship of characters, most of which are always in peril. Many of the cast are capable to lead a movie by their own, but the movie doesn't feel bloated because they are so many involved. Director Bryan Singer cleverly seams the characters' tales together; the present chemistry produces engaging interaction between them.

The bulk of the story occurs in 1973, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence take most of the spotlight. They perform admirably, each showcasing emotional baggage and entwined history together. Hugh Jackman fits into the party fairly well, he has been Wolverine for so long, he just naturally meshes together with the younger X-Men. Peter Dinklage provides a unique antagonist. X-Men movies are notoriously filled with military men as villains, it's nice to see someone more dynamic and with less reliance to violence.

Effects are done beautifully. The future battles are spectacular, not to mention the choreography gracefully combines the mutants' power into the fray. I personally like the intricacy of Blink's ability which allows her to use multiple portals. Her scenes are few, but very well done. The slow motion effect looks wonderful and melee combat is performed effectively, especially Mystique's acrobatic dances. There's lingering retro ambiance for 70s, a simple touch of familiarity. One minor blemish is the lighting for future setting might be a tad too dark at times to fully appreciate the graphic.

The prevalent flaw of time travel gimmick is the impact actions supposedly have on the future, this movie is no exception. There are a few instances where characters act rather brashly just in case it may hopefully change the future, a couple decisions are questionable as well, it's hard to believe experienced mutants with special powers would do impulsive action. It also tries to add prejudice theme, but seeing Jennifer Lawrence, even with blue skin, having self-confident issue is like seeing a supermodel complaining she's fat. All the flaws are just little hindrance, they barely affect the gripping performance of the talents.

X-Men: Days of Future Past is arguably the best of the franchise, it will entertain viewers with exquisite acting, finely pace story and delightfully likeable characters.… Expand

Days of Future Past is seriously one of the best X-Men movies of our generation. Watching it is even the best part about it because you know something will be good once you're watching it,

The film is directed by Bryan Singer, who also directed the first two parts of the X-Men movie series. X-Men: Days or Future Past is the seventh film. The story is set in an alternate, dystopian future.

-X-Men: Days or Future Past was nominated for the Oscar and the BAFTA award for best visual effects.

-Extra scene:

-X-Men: Days or Future Past contains after the end of the credits an extra scene. En Sabah Nur (alias Apocalypse) builds telekinetic styled pyramids in a desert. Looking in the background are the 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse' - Death, famine, Pestilence and War -.

--Critical response:

-X-Men: Days of Future Past has received widespread critical acclaim. The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports a 91% approval rating from critics, with an average score of 7.6/10, based on 270 reviews. The website's consensus reads, "X-Men: Days of Future Past combines the best elements of the series to produce a satisfyingly fast-paced outing that ranks among the franchise's finest installments". On Metacritic, the film has a score of 74 based on 43 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

-Sean O'Connell of Cinema Blend gave the film four and a half stars out of five, and said it was "the greatest, most complete and staggeringly entertaining (X-Men film) to date". Empire gave it four out of five stars and called it, "The best X-Men film since the second one". Steve Rose of The Guardian rated the film three stars out of five; he said, "Non-devotees might struggle, but director Bryan Singer whips up the action towards a symphonic climax". David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter said, "While it's more dramatically diffuse than the reboot and lacks a definitive villain, the new film is shot through with a stirring reverence for the Marvel Comics characters and their universe." Justin Chang of Variety said, "If the characters' quandaries at times feel overly circumscribed, they're also advanced with a bracing emotional directness, devoid of either cynicism or sentimentalism, that touches genuine chords of feeling over the course of the film’s fleet 130-minute (sic) running time".

-In contrast, Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph rated the film two stars out of five and called the plot "a curate's egg, thoroughly scrambled". He concluded, "The film squanders both of its casts, reeling from one fumbled set-piece to the next. It seems to have been constructed in a stupor, and you watch in a daze of future past." Simon Abrams, writing for RogerEbert.com, gave the film two-and-a-half stars out of four, calling it a "visually driven and paint-by-numbers-plot". Abrams was critical of the undeveloped subplots that built up because the film's pacing left little time to develop each element of the story set in the 1970s.

--Sequel:

-In December 2013, Singer announced X-Men: Apocalypse, an upcoming X-Men film acting as a sequel to X-Men: Days of Future Past. Singer is attached to direct from a script by Simon Kinberg, Dan Harris, and Michael Dougherty. According to Singer, the next film will focus on the origin of the mutants. Kinberg said it will take place in 1983 and will complete a trilogy that began with X-Men: First Class. James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Jennifer Lawrence, Evan Peters, Rose Byrne, Lucas Till and Hugh Jackman will reprise their roles, with Oscar Isaac, Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Alexandra Shipp, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Ben Hardy, Lana Condor, and Olivia Munn joining the cast. Filming began in April 2015 in Montreal, Quebec for a May 27, 2016 release.… Expand

The return of director Bryan Singer had helped the production of this film to make it the best film in the series ( aside from Deadpool if you count that as an X-Men film). The stakes are raised to a higher level as humanity and mutant kind are enslaved by the Sentitles which are robots created for the sole purpose of hunting down mutants. The Sentitles are given a needed update as they have Mystique's power to shape-shift and copy powers to attack their targets. These machines were brutal as the tore people apart and shoot down anything in their path. The film than has Wolverine time travel back to the time line of "First Class". Some had concerns of Wolverine's inclusion in the film since he ad a habit of being the main focus of the other films but thankfully he has a limited role in this film as he is only their to be the metaphorical bridge between both timeline's. Each character feels changed as a result of the events of this film for better or worse and each one has been given more depth than any of the prior films. The one who truly Steals the show is Peter Dinklage as Bolivar Trask. This iteration of the character has an interesting unstated motivation to destroying these mutants which is implied to be pure jealously which makes his interactions with the mutants interesting to watch. Quicksilver was another great addition with the sequence of his super-speed from his prospective. The slow motion and the music really gives an out-of-body experience on that sequence that I had yet to see another Comic-book film. The action sequences are well choreographed and intense with a lot of attention to detail. It is impressive to have so much happening on screen but still be able to distinguish what is going on. This film is must-see for an superhero let alone X-Man fan.… Expand

Similarly to the comic book story of the same name, the X-Men are being hunted and exterminated by Sentinels in a bleak future, so they have to change the past in order to survive in the present.

Wolverine is sent back in time in the early 1970s so that he may prevent Mystique from assassinating Bolivar Trask, an event that proved to be fatal for the mutants. We see a disillusioned Professor X who needs to be convinced about caring for others again, and Magneto first deciding to do the right thing and then returning to his criminal tendencies. We are introduced to Quicksilver who gives us one of the most spectacular slow motion scenes ever. Magneto steals the show when he tears a whole Stadium from the ground, flies in the air with it and then throws it around the White House, surrounding US President Nixon and Trask with the intent to kill them. The movie's real protagonist though is Mystique, who must be logically and emotionally convinced to not assassinate Trask, instead of just being forced to do so by Professor X's telepathic powers.

Days of Future Past also served as a sort of retcon for the X-Men movie franchise, changing the characters' backstories established in the old X-Men movies. Thanks to that, 20th Century Fox are now making a new movie themed around the Dark Phoenix saga, to make up for the disappointing X-Men: The Last Stand.… Expand
