Can anyone let me know is Cyclops, Gambit, or Nightcrawler are in this in spoiler tags with a yes or no? I want to look it up but don't want to risk getting spoiled on anything. I'm watching this tonight, and I sincerely hope they are in it. They are my favorite X-men characters along with Magneto and Quicksilver.

And is quicksilver as shitty as he seems?

Well

Spoiler:
Nope not at all. Though I don't know how you would think Cyclops would be in this considering how everyone here has been making fun of Singer's blatant dislike of Cyclops. Oh and apparently Tatum's confirmed as Gambit but that's old news

Also Quicksilver is actually kind of cool despite the fact that his costume is shit

That was incredible. Up there with Captain America 2 in quality.

Yeah but honestly considering the plot and potential of the story, it should have been bigger and better than CAP2. Should have been on par with Avengers Imo. But as it is First Class is still better Imho.

It bigger than Cap 2, but that alone doesn't make it better. Anyway, Singer did an incredible job.

Spoiler:
Well Cyclops is in it with a cameo at the end.

X-Men: Days of Future Past is the best X-Men movie and by far better than The Avengers or Cap 2.

By far? Nah. This is by far the biggest overstatement in the page though.

I liked when he said

Spoiler:
to Magneto that his mother knew a guy who could manipulate metal.Hinting that he is father in the movie verse as well.

Spoiler:
Mystique is a central character i'm guessing.

The plot is based

Spoiler:
around her but her actual screen time isn't huge.

I don't think he did at all. Everything great about the film came from Kinberg and Vaghn's story/script and from the level of acting. I think the execution by the Director though could have been much better.

Spoiler:
for one make the end fight against Magneto and the Past Sentinels longer. The end battle usually makes or breaks a film.

And just some better execution overall. Mathew Vaughn would have made this same film EPIC.

It's not on par with Avengers at all. I still think First Class is the best X-Men film. FC is on par to Avengers for me. DOFP and CAP2 is a good comparison though.

You must understand and realize something... by far better for me.

I gave The Avengers - 4/10 (joke of a movie) and Cap 2 - 6/10.

X-Men: Days of Future Past - 9/10

My ratings for Marvel movies:

Iron Man - 4.5/10
The Incredible Hulk - 7/10
Iron Man 2 - 4/10
Thor - 6/10
Captain America: The First Avenger - 6/10
The Avengers - 4/10
Iron Man 3 - 4.5/10
Thor: The Dark World - 6/10
Captain America: The Winter Soldier - 6/10

Ok. We understand. You opinion is different to the vast majority of people on these boards, and vast majority of the general audience as well.

Also a bit weird that we get no explanation for how

Spoiler:
Xavier is back. And no that end credit scene from Last Stand is not enough, especially when he's in a wheelchair again. Or how Wolverine got his metal claws back. Or how Magneto got his powers back

^ I guess that stuff doesn't need to be in spoilers, as it's about where things ended after Last Stand and The Wolverine and where it starts in DOFP.

Iron Man - 7,5/10
The Incredible Hulk - 7/10
Iron Man 2 - 7/10
Thor - 6/10
Captain America: The First Avenger - 6/10
The Avengers - 8/10
Iron Man 3 - 6/10
Thor: The Dark World - 6/10

Very good X-Men film.

Pleased that Singer chose to actually focus more on the "past" timeline then his timeline, surprisingly. Future timeline was given just enough presence and the "First Class" cast owned the bulk of the film. Just how I wanted it.

McAvoy and Fassbender are excellent as usual. Magneto is now the most badass Marvel cinematic character to ever grace the screen. ****ing BOSS! I loved at the end

Spoiler:
Singer borrowed from the Ultimate X-Men storyline where Erik points all the cameras at the President. Badass. Magneto has arrived.

Wolverine was in it just enough. Pleased he took a back seat to Erik and Charles. Lawrence was dope as Mystique.

Action sequences could have been better but this is different from The Winter Soldier in that it is a character driven story first. The former was driven by it outstanding action scenes.

Overall, it's a good sequel to First Class and a follow up on the original cast. Nicely done.

Just a rough analysis based solely for this genre of film.

First Class - 8/10
Avengers - 9/10
The Winter Soldier - 8.5/10
Days of Future Past - 8/10

Great movie. Loved it from beginning to end. Felt great having all of these chars interacting. Felt like an Avengers, but bigger with more, more, more backstory and buildup.

This is pretty much my ranking of the X-Men films:

http://www.mtv.com/news/1830052/x-men-movies-ranked/

In terms of quality, I'd personally put X2 and DOFP on par with Cap 2. And First Class on par with Avengers.

For me The Wolverine was one of the worst X-men movies.

Spoiler:
One of my favorite scenes was on the airplane when Erik totally puts Charles in his place. LMAO, Logan gets up to intervene and Erik kindly says "Let him be" or something to the effect. Definitely shows who the alpha male of the gang was. He starts shouting the names of the fallen mutants to a subdued Xavier who has no choice but to look on in awe if this badass in front of him. Fassbender>>>>

Spoiler:
The way he owns Wolverine in the climax of the film>>> Part of me wishes Logan had the adamantium in him so Magneto could have extracted the metal from his body.

It was pretty badass how Magneto

Spoiler:
impaled Logan with the metal bars after he wrapped them around his body then casually tossed Wolverine miles away into the river.

Spoiler:
"So much for being a survivor. "
