Critics' reviews

"The new film is shot through with a stirring reverence for the Marvel Comics characters and their universe."

David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter
"Not since 2003's 'X2: X-Men United' has this filmmaker tapped so effortlessly into his talent for comicbook gravitas, his ability to mine emotional resonance, pop poetry and (crucially) sly humor."

Justin Chang: Variety
"The most ambitious and ingenious of the long-running series (...) In its exploration of differences, this character-driven X-Men blends emotional resonance with grand spectacle, humor and intimate storytelling (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"

Claudia Puig: USA Today
"'X-Men: Days of Future Past’' blows a breath of fresh air through the musty Marvel universe (...) A superhero movie for those who don’t like superhero movies (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"

Lou Lumenick: New York Post
"Step up, cynics, and see the summer 2014 blockbuster that gets damn near everything right (...) a movie that uses action to define character (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"Huge franchise installments are rarely as enjoyable as this one. They aren't as inventive, richly detailed, surprisingly varied, elegantly crafted or improbably stirring"

Joe Morgenstern: The Wall Street Journal
"A deeper, richer, more thoughtful film, more existential in its contemplations than earlier Xs, all rather nicely embedded in the mayhem churned up by the mutants' altered states"

Betsy Sharkey: Los Angeles Times
