X-Men Movies: Ranked From Worst To Best

3. X-Men: Days Of Future Past

Considering the requirements placed upon Bryan Singer - not only to make a great X-Men film, but also to mend some of the errors of past films that came after his franchise openers - the fact that Days Of Future Past is even remotely watchable should be classed as an impressive feat. That it is very good is an absolute triumph. Singer's vision for the X-Men is just irresistible, and even when charged with taking on a cast that is not his own, he brings the same diligence, aided massively by the bridging influence of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, who is the most important figure in the entire film, rather fittingly. The addition of more gags and a fan's thirst for Easter Eggs and references from Singer are to the film's benefit, and though there is a certain amount of timeline mud to ignore, the director achieved both a fitting end for his cast and an exciting base for the new cast to move on from. Best Moment The Quicksilver sequence when he helps rescue Fassbender's Magneto from his prison vault is just genius. Worst MomentThere are a lot of questions left unanswered.
