Did anyone see days of future past? I did with my wife and we both thought it was amazing.

Also, the after credits scene, wow. Couldnt believe who it was!

Its a good thing i recently got his first appearance issue. Itll be worth a lot more now.

There was an after credits scene? Damn. Left too soon.

Good movie, though. Probably the best of them thus far.

I liked it. It's rare that I like a more Story-based Comic Book movie, but this one was done well.

The after credits scene depicted Apocalypse in a desert constructing a pyramid with his mind, while thousands of peons worshiped at his feet.

Saw it yesterday, loved it! Easily my favourite X-Men movie yet, which also makes it my favourite superhero movie by default. I really regret not sitting out the credits now though. I just saw a really bad quality version of the after credits scene on youtube, that would have been much more epic on the big screen. I wasn't surprised by who showed up there, as the new X-Men movie and title had already been announced some time ago.

But again, amazing movie. McAvoy and Fassbender are a fantastic duo.

Personally I dont think they could have picked better actors for X and Magneto younger counterparts. I just think theyre great.

Also the scene where the kid goea really fast and is running up the wall..priceless.

You should always stay for the after credit scenes for Marvel movies.

Haven't seen it yet, but reviews are looking good. I saw the credit scene and was already expecting him.

Not entirely sure for the X-men and Spiderman movies, but they credit scenes exist for the ones related to the Avengers. Most of them set up the next movie.

I'm pretty sure that every Marvel movie come out in the last 5 or 6 years has had an after credit scene that leads up to the next film.

Saw it yesterday, I strongly recommend it. It is basically a First Class sequel while surprisingly showing so much respect towards original trilogy, Last Stand included. :smile: For such a movie, it has one of the best continuity efforts I have ever seen. Seriously amazing work there.

I'd developed a hatred for Charles since First Class but this movie fixed it all, great character development.

So many good little details in this movie, I can count a dozen great ideas executed very well and some more. The audience was very energetic and receptive too, best theater experience since Avengers.

Spoiler
I thought pacing was a bit off in the middle.

I thought Singer had problems injecting grandeur to big scenes. Vaughn on the other hand turned very simple scenes to cinematic glory, easily. Singer's style can also be seen as raw action though.

The plot necessitates some characters to be plot devices, basically the whole future cast, Wolverine and Mystique is locked from doing anything interesting. But I don't really see a problem because the plot was very good.

As a non-comic book guy, I would rate them as

X-Men 8/10
X-Men 2 6/10 (if the title was "Wolverine and X-Men" then 10/10)
X-Men 3 7/10
X-Men: FC 10/10
X-Men: DoFP 9/10

That Wolverine origins movie is 5/10, what were they thinking? I didn't see the last Wolverine movie.
