10 Things Fans Don't Want To Accept About Fox's X-Men Movies

X-Men: Days of Future Past is hailed as a great comic book movie, and there are certainly arguments which can be made in that respect. It certainly made for exciting viewing, while Bryan Singer definitely outdid himself as a filmmaker at times (even so, it's easy to imagine Matthew Vaughn's version of the story being better).

Regardless of where you land on it being amazing or awful, there's no getting around the fact that making this movie in 2014 was a dreadful idea. Combining the "prequel" cast with the one from the original trilogy happened way too soon, and made it clear that the likes of James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender were never going to be as important as Hugh Jackman and company.

This should have been the culmination of a trilogy, not a sequel, and it completely missed the point of Days of Future Past in an effort to generate attention by having these characters interact.

The Sentinels sucked, and the ending made no sense, but those were minor issues in a movie that shouldn't have happened when it did. There was certainly room for this story to be adapted, but Fox made a huge blunder heading in that direction so soon.
