X-Men: Days of Future Past

{

X-Men: Days of Future Past is a superhero movie and part of Fox's X-Men universe.

Plot
Convinced that mutants pose a threat to humanity, Dr. Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage) develops the Sentinels, enormous robotic weapons that can detect a mutant gene and zero in on that person. In the 21st century, the Sentinels have evolved into highly efficient killing machines. With mutants now facing extinction, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) volunteers to go back in time and rally the X-Men of the past to help prevent Trask's assassination - that if carried out - will lead to the creation of the Sentinel program.

Why it Rocks

 * 1) It retcons controversial events from the previous films out of existence, including the entirety of mh:awfulmovies:X-Men: The Last Stand and the infamous mh:awfulmovies:X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
 * 2) Amazing special effects.
 * 3) Awesome action scenes including the Pentagon kitchen scene (actually for that matter, the entire break-in), the battles with the Sentinels and the fight on the lawn of the White House.
 * 4) It's great to see the old cast and the new cast coming together in one film.
 * 5) Great acting, especially Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
 * 6) A good mix of action, adventure, science-fiction, drama and humor.
 * 7) It finally introduced the Sentinels which were shown as cameos in mh:awfulmovies:X-Men: The Last Stand.
 * 8) It also delivers a good message that the future is never truly set.
 * 9) John Ottman's X-Men theme from X2: X-Men United makes its triumphant return in this film. It is also heard during the end of the 20th Century Fox logo music, complete with the X being highlighted.
 * 10) It introduces us properly to Quicksilver, who is a big show stealer thanks to his sense of humor that manages to annoy even Charles Xavier, along with Evan Peters' amazing performance. It's almost unanimously agreed that this portrayal of Quicksilver is way superior to the one in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
 * 11) The Sentinels are downright terrifying villains, despite having not much screentime.
 * 12) The scene where the X-Men perish one-by-one in the final fight was both amazing and emotional.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Rogue is in the movie, but most of her scenes was cut out of the theatrical release due to time constraints. The only scene that remained is in the ending where Logan wakes up in the new timeline. Fortunately, her deleted scenes were re-added in the Rogue Cut re-release.
 * 2) The major retcons majorly complicate the timeline of the overall franchise.
