	Author	Review
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"The new film is shot through with a stirring reverence for the Marvel Comics characters and their universe."	POS
United Kingdom	Nick De Semlyen Empire	"With so much going on, and such a ferocious pace, several parts of the story feel undernourished... But what we do get here is largely fantastic. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"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."	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"This overstuffed, action-packed sequel has grandeur and elegance. But it's also sufficiently funny and emotional, capably interweaving big themes into the mix as well."	POS
United Kingdom	Steve Rose The Guardian	"Non-devotees might well give up, but director Bryan Singer always has a neat special effect, a well-timed gag or an action set piece around the corner, whipping up the action towards a symphonic climax. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"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)"	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"The film squanders both of its casts, reeling from one fumbled set-piece to the next. It seems to have been constructed in a stupor. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"'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)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"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)"	POS
United States	Joe Morgenstern The Wall Street Journal	"Huge franchise installments are rarely as enjoyable as this one. They aren't as inventive, richly detailed, surprisingly varied, elegantly crafted or improbably stirring"	POS
United States	Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times	"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"	POS
United States	Tom Long Detroit News	"The fireworks, the super-power circus, lots of surprise cameos and Big Moments - 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' has them all. Logic? Who cares?"	POS
