X Men: Days of Future past, one of this years most anticipated blockbuster films is nothing short of amazing. Brayn Singer, director of X Men 1, 2, and X Men first class, returns to direct what might be the best film in the entire X-Men film series. Weaving a story of past, future and present and bringing back more than a few familiar faces, it felt like coming home for long time fans of the films. (Minor spoilers ahead)

Most of the cast from First Class return in the sequel, with a few fresh faces and some mentions to others. One of the most talked about and poorly received characters ended up being a hidden gem and comic relief in what, at times, was a dark hero film. Evan Peter's Quick Silver was not only a comic relief, but down right awesome. Much of the core members from the first film return like Mystique, who plays a much larger role alongside Charles Xavier and Mageneto. While dealing with the past story line, the main focus is around Wolverine, who's sent back in time in order to prevent the destruction of humanity at the hands of Bolivar Trask Sentinels. (Trask industries was hinted at the post credit scene in x men: first class)  The future features such comic book classics like Bishop, Blink and even Sun spot and even some of the older super hero's like the original Magneto and Xavier, played by Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart. Kitty Pride returns played by Ellen Page and even Shawn Ashmore reprises his role as Ice Man. There are a lot of faces in this film, a lot. Some you'll recognize, some you won't and some you don't even expect. As wonderful as this is, the movie does a wonderful job of not piling too many people on screen at one time. Rarely do you run into a "why are they here and what purpose do they serve," situation. The movie's ending, which has to be seen to be appreciated, is sweet as candy but the end credit sequence was one of the most exciting parts, or not actual part, of the film. (Warning: This is the post credit breakdown, do not read unless you have seen it or want to know!) The nod to the sequel ahead, planned for 2016, is Age of Apocalypse. The scene shows a figure being worshiped while constructing the ancient pyramids of Egypt  with telekinetic powers. In the distance are four men on horses, thus another nod towards the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. As the screen pans around, you see a young man with a pale face and blue lips, the original and first Mutant who will become Apocalypse in the future after being sealed away for thousands of years in the Himalayas. Bryan Singer has created arguably the best of the best X men films as well as some of the best Super Hero movies of all time but X Men: Days of Future Past out does itself. Between a solid story line, great cameos and amazing action sequences, the movie tops the films that have come before it.
