10 Biggest Flaws Of The 10 Highest-Grossing Movies Of 2014

4. Its Ambivalence Towards The Established Continuity - X-Men: Days Of Future Past

Box Office Gross: $746,045,777 How do you fix a problem like the X-Men franchise? That's not to criticise this series of largely entertaining and technically accomplished blockbusters, but to address its totally muddled and horribly confusing sense of continuity (if you can call it that). Bryan Singer's most recent entry in the franchise, then, X-Men: Days of Future Past, pretty much sought out to fix all the plot problems by wiping them out. Literally. That's to say that this seventh X-Men movie decides to skirt around the edges of the issues inherent to the established universe by having the characters go back in time and change history, essentially rendering entire movies in the canon as obsolete. You understand why Singer and his team went down this route, of course, but you can't help but wonder whether there was a better way to have handed it all.
