'X-Men: Days Of Future Past' - What Did You Think?
The X-Men franchise is back in this weekend's X-Men: Days of Future Past. Director Bryan Singer's return to the franchise combines the original cast from Singer's first two films and Brett Ratner's third, and new cast of Matthew Vaughn's First Class. The result is a tight, exciting, time-travelling sequel. The time travel story allows Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen to share the screen with Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and so many more.
Make no mistake, though. While the original X-Men actors are all in the film, Days of Future Past is first and foremost a sequel to First Class. The character issues and relationships developed in that film continue here. That helps give the film many options to explore character dynamics, action, and history-making (and -breaking) narrative events.
What exactly are those narrative events and what do they mean going into X-Men: Apocalypse? Now that X-Men: Days of Future Past is in theaters, you can discuss all of the answers below.
