X-men days of future past
Had no idea what it was before the watch. Never really been a fan of the x-men, beyond thinking the first film was alright, and first class was neat when I initially saw it at the cinema.
On reflection first class seemed to have little substance to it, so future past was off the radar as something to see. Feared the worse with the opening scenes in the future thinking, here goes 2hrs of CGI tat... but no pleasantly surprised it worked for me. Timelines and continuity mean nothing to me, not being all in on the series, that could taint you're view if you are. I'd say better than first class, because for the most part that's just a feel good 'getting the band back together' film, future past takes the same atheistic in the time period setting and ad's a backstory with the same kind of villainous element.
Certainly better than average.
