X-Men: Days of Future Past Review

The X-men franchise has grown and grown of the past ten years, with the time range in the films spanning the early 60's to present day, but now we see the future. The film's time travelling consciousness plan worked well, even though at time we needed to be reminded how it worked with the brilliant explanation of her new powers from Shadowcat  (Ellen Page). Hugh Jackman's reprisal of the much loved Wolverine was just as brutal and tough, even if he didn't have his shiny claws the whole time. The film was fun, exciting and filled with the action scenes everybody, comic fan and film fan alike, really wanted to see. Although not the best as a structural concept, Days of Future Past delivered all the essential X-men humour and inside knowledge. Without ruining it too much, the ending has created a whole new view on the next films, with Wolverine changing the past, the new future everybody is looking forward to, may be shattered with the arrival of the newest and probably most powerful villain in X-men Apocalypse, which is set for a 2016 release. Days of Future Past in in cinema now and has proved it is a worthy addition to the X-men series.
