20 Things The X-Men Movies Actually Got Right
11. The World-Building In X-Men: Days Of Future Past
X-Men: Days of Future Past is one of the best superhero films of the decade. It's storytelling is masterful and the characters really shine in this movie. However, the world-building in the film really gets overlooked.
While a point of contention among fans, the design of the Future Sentinels is very sleek and fits well with the tone that the series has established. Similarly, the dark dystopian tone of the future sequences combined with the introductory voice over sets the scene so well, establishing that this is the X-Men's greatest battle yet.
The fights in these scenes are some of the best the franchise has seen yet, with all of the team combining their powers to fight the onslaught of Sentinels. All of this leads to a desperate finale where the team have to hold out for as long as possible. One of the best moments in the series.
