In X-Men: Days of Future Past, Bryan Singer returned after letting 4 different directors continue the X-Men series for him once he was done with X2. His movies were, and are, the only good ones in the franchise. To right the wrongs of inferior director Brett Ratner (X-Men: The Last Stand), Bryan used a story involving time travel to send Wolverine back and create a paradox of sorts, and change the entire X-Men timeline that took place after X-Men: First Class. In the original timeline, Bolivar Trask created the Sentinel program to eliminate all mutants, but no one in the American Congress would allow him to activate his first sentinel. Then Mystique, a shape shifter, murdered him as revenge for doing experiments on mutants. His death caused the United Nations to decide to start the Sentinel program because they thought mutants were dangerous. Wolverine's mind had to be sent back to his younger body to stop Mystique from killing Trask, and avert the extinction of humans. This was one of those really successful movies that captured the essence of the comic miniseries it was based off of. They introduced new characters that I was waiting for a long time to see, mainly, Quicksilver, a funny slacker with super speed. He had the best sequence of the entire movie devoted all to him, when they broke Magneto out of a prison deep underground. In the time it took for a bullet to leave a gun and reach its target 15 feet away, Quicksilver ran around the entire room changing the direction of all the bullets, moving the shooters' arms around like they were dolls, and stealing a hat -- while listening to music. (In an earlier scene, he'd been playing Ping Pong against himself.) Bryan Singer knows what the fans are looking for. Every little problem that the other movies might have had, he has acknowleged and fixed in this movie, and all of the continuity errors that some might have noticed throughout the series are now no longer an issue because the past has been changed. A+
