Hope everyone is having a great holiday! Filmento will return sometime early 2021. Also, this movie's opening is actually very similar to Terminator Genisys. What differences can you think of that make this one work so much better?
@Filmento, now why a major Hollywood Movie House or Disney has not snatched you up already, I'd never know. We'd have so many higher quality Productions, with you being part of the creation process. Thank you for another great breakdown. PS: I loved this movie and have watched it a few times already... 😎👍🏼
And this is one of the few films that I could think of that the villains are actually terrifying. I just watched in terror as the mutants died to the sentinels
The only fucked up Apocalypse. The results of Dark Phoenix and New Mutants werent their fault, they were bought by DIsney while they were making those movie. And still, they made two Deadpool movies and Logan after DOFP.
@@vetarlittorf1807 I said "best x men" movie meaning as an actual x men team movie. Logan was a solo/ spin off of X Men. In general Logan is one of the best comic book films of all time.
Amen to that. I remember hearing about his scene was the only reason I went to theaters to see the movie. I had given up on the X-Men after The Last Stand and Origins.

@@lordtrinen2249 The original plan was to do DoFP after Apocalypse, but before Dark Phoenix. It was meant to be the Endgame like climax. There are videos out there on this.
Exactly. I think that's what makes this movie so amazing - the stakes felt incredibly high. Like, I genuinely thought I was gonna watch all our heroes get annihilated.
They're effective because they can actually succeed in fulfilling their purpose. Their victims can hold them out for a while but in the end they all get results through any means possible

I'll do you one better. Fassbender's Magneto may be the greatest super villain ever put on film. I'm not just talking about threat level here. I'm talking about threat level, motivation and relatability
Ikr. I've probably seen this movie about 7ish times in my lifetime and that opening scene with the sentinels killing everyone with zero dialoge and incredible music just leaves me speechless and on the edge of my seat even to this day.
Honestly. This is one of the only movies that settle an actual foundation to time travel and how it functions in that universe. Unlike many other time travel movies. Aside from some minor tweaks as of how exactly are changes in the past settled in the future if both are constantly moving. Its not like there's an OK button to save the changes done in the past and just then the future changes
@@ComedyBros5 I mean to be fair they did clearly define the time travel in end game. But I do defintely like other kinds of time travel more than the one in endgame, like one-timeline time travel for example.
The ok button to save the changes is Logan waking up. Kitty said that at the beginning of the movie and he added it to the video as well. Once his consciousness returns to the future, everything he did will become history

@@shade_zz1585 no. That movie had cheese galore and so much eye candy because the villain legitimately sucked. Not even the scenes with young Eric saved him.

@@lonebattledroid4474 true but in my opinion both time travel were done well. They left soo many questions. Difference is many didn't get the time travel of Endgame
I really had some bad professors in College. I remember my writing classes, the guys I was stuck with _hated_ plot-driven narratives, and instead demanded that we write _Character-Driven_ narratives. But like this video shows, you can have both, and you _should_ have both. Filmento talked about Magneto's character, but honestly he could've gone even further with it. Days of Future's Past is probably not only the best but also my Favorite X-Men Movie. But not just because I think the plot is largely solid, but that the story actually makes me _feel something._ And that feeling comes from two characters - Logan and Xavier. It's as Xavier told Logan, "You will have to do for _me_ what I did for you." Charles was Lost in a very bad place in 73, just as Logan was lost with his Amnesia at the beginning of the X-Men franchise. But by finding Charles Xavier, Logan was able to find meaning again - a reason to go on, a reason to care about things again. And now, Logan does the same with the younger Charles Xavier; Logan becomes the mentor-figure to the man who mentored him. And here's the best part; in doing that adventure in 1973, Charles and Logan cement a _friendship_ that was even _greater_ than what it was in the original timeline. You could say that before they were allies, but after this movie, they are _undoubtedly friends._ They care a great deal for one another. And given the context of the movie, Xavier had to wait about 20 years after finding Logan in the new timeline, for the Logan he knew to "catch-up" as it were. Hell, there was always a chance that that Logan's consciousness was lost as the time he'd come from had been erased. But then, at the end of the movie when Logan has woken-up and goes to talk to Xavier about it, and tells him...the look of surprise and joy that comes over Xavier's face is just so _heartwarming._ It's made him realize that after 50 years, the man he knew - his _friend_ - is finally back... And it's like he said...The two have _so much catching-up_ to do. ...And then they had to make the Logan movie and completely _ruin that ending._ See, that's why I love this movie; because it's the relationship between _two men_ and a friendship that spanned more than _fifty years._ Both were lost, and they each helped the other find themselves again. It was a friendship beyond time...
Agreed. I’d say their relationship is more like father and son by the end. Even though Logan is way older than Charles technically, his amnesia lessens the weight of that, and Days of Future Past really does feel like a “son going back to save his father” movie. Also, you can easily write off the Logan movie as taking place in a different timeline. Its worldbuilding is centered around there being no new mutants born in 25 years by the 2020s, whereas the end of Days of Future Past shows many young mutants at the school in the revised 2020s. So it’s definitely two different worlds.
This movie is absolutely fantastic. I remember not having much faith on it, and then I went to the theatre like five times to keep watching it. My favourite still is X-2, but Days of Future Past is no doubt one of the best X-Men movies ever.
Magneto is the saving grace of the entire franchise, even in the comics where its basically become 'holy shit, Magneto is right, humans will never let us live in peace'
He's my favourite character hands down. Not only are his powers the most incredible thing ever, but his character is neither villain or hero, his ideals are usually right but his ways of going about things are extremist. You agree with his opinions but not his methods, and that's how you make a layered character.
I never kept track of the xmen movies and forgot about them so I thought Apocalypsis was waaay before Days of Future Past and not in a chronological sense.
Yeah Oscar Isaac was wasted in this movie. I bet under better direction, he would have been a great Apocalypse. Bryan did a lazy job and that is why the movie failed. I only liked the choices for his Horsemen and how Archangel looked. I hated that the character died.
The story goes Singer didn't even care about Apocalypse, and didn't show up to set a lot so Kinberg had to ghost direct most of the film which is why it's the way it is.
@@siddharth_0771 DP too meta. every retcon and/or addition just adds to his powers, a more powerful Logan(the regeneration one) in all comic, animated and live action 2 Meta 2 Furious
@FN-1701AgentGodzillaRangerPrime-El My problem is that the foX-Men Franchise take place in 12 different timelines. 2 Emma Frosts, one as the white queen of the hellfire club in the 60's the other a teenager captive in the 70's. 2 highshcool student Jubilees one in 2003 one in 1983 etc etc Almost every foX-Men movie contradicts other foX-Men movies. Even New Mutants (1980s) showed scenes from Logan (2045). the franchise was a mess of little to NO continuity. And for fucks sake Juggernaut is NOT a mutant and KNOWS CHARLES FROM CHILDHOOD as Step-brothers.
What reboots? We had 1, and 2, and Salvation didn't really reboot the series. See? None of the 3 Terminator movies rebooted the series. Good thing they didn't make more.
Terminator Dark Fate when I see Tim Miller and James Cameron doing interviews telling me about how the new and different things this new movie will blow me away. Then I watch and see a pile a recycled ideas and scenes from better Terminator movies. not a new ideas, unless you forget that they did that in T3. they did that better in T2. Oh, I remember that plot line from Terminator Salvation. Over and Over, reminding me of a better movie that is not this one. Then remind me that Arnold had a son with his maid.
What is this Salvation you talk about? There is T1 and T2, thise are the ines Cameron directed and those are the only ones that count. Anything else is a fanfic with license to be monetized.
I disagree. The scenes of Magneto collecting his helmet was poorly chopped together with the scene of older Magneto and Iceman infiltrating the mansion. And both great scenes are completely messed up in the process
@@LukeLovesRose Yeah I get what you mean, I’ve seen the Theatrical Cut far more often than the Rogue Cut because it flows better, but I still personally prefer the RC because it gives both sides more to do before the third act
I still remembers the feels of watching this movie in theatre Those sentential to this gives me nightmare that just how deadly & scary they were Greatest superhero movie ever
A lot of what you're saying about time travel movies also applies to heist movies. DoFP is basically a heist movie and a time travel movie combined... a _TIMEHEIST,_ the best kind of movie.
@@sheelavprakash9261 Mutants are stealing their right to exist back. Humans took that away from them with the creation of the sentinels. The point of them going back into the past is to change the extinction level future that humans have dealt them. The heist isn’t a monetary one, it’s an even more valuable existential heist. It is a time heist to reverse the genocide of mutant kind.
@@sheelavprakash9261 They're stealing Magneto from prison. Also Rogue, (if you watch 'the Rogue cut') and Rogue herself steals powers/life from Bobby and Kitty. So, in a way, there's a lot of stealing going on.
My favorite part is that not killing Trask doesn't solve the problem, it makes it worse. THAT's a plot twist don't doesn't come out like a cheap gasp moment
I feel like Filmento's storytelling lessons are pure gold. If one day I get an oscar for writing, I owe Filmento. I hope this change will keep growing and keep on revealing good screenwriting secrets :) Good job!
@@jonathanraecrisanto5912 I remember the first trailer and thought it was going to be a disaster, but went three times with different people to the theatre. And have watched it at least 8 times in all these years since 2014.
The original plan was to do DOFP as the third movie in a trilogy done by Matthew Vaughn, the director of FC, but Fox wanted it immediately so he left, which is why Singer did the movie.
The thing I love the most about this movie, the thing that I think makes it the quintessential X-Men movie, is that its villains are literally fear, hatred and discrimination themselves: the true sworn enemies of the X-Men, and never before this movie have these enemies actually felt so *alive.* It’s like a malevolent force, the force Charles Xavier has been fighting against his whole life, is *actively* manipulating events towards the hellish future, and the human and mutant villains are nothing but unwitting pawns in this force’s hands. The true final battle is not against Trask, it’s not against Magneto, it is against hatred itself. And how does Charles win? How does he save the world? By doing what he does best: healing the soul of a broken child. I mean, it’s literal fu****g perfection.
@@AtomicF0x Plus the concept of traveling in time forwards and back far predated Back to the Future. H.G Well's The Time Machine and probably plenty of other works did it first.
Didn't he already? Along with the breakdown of A Quiet Place, iirc. He made a comparison of the two regarding the central idea of "Fear of the Unknown" in horror movies
It seems almost inconceivable just how high this franchise got to this point and suddenly plummet in quality in subsequent films. WTF happened. This was perfection.
I know right I watched this movie 7 TIMES and not once did I get bothered by bad CGI and it's not just the CGI the movie itself is so good too it's not my favourite movie or anything but damn this movie has some good CGI and a good story with good characters
Black Panther famously had little time for post production (It's rumoured that the last fight scene was given to the VFX studio just 6 weeks before the movie's release date). CGI looks good when there's enough planning and time.
I think one of the best things about this movie that gives it massive stakes is that unlike many other movies with Wolverine, a fight can't solve the problem. Often writers choose to throw in a nerf for his healing because he could solve the problem in like 10 seconds if he was at full strength, cos at that point he's pretty much immortal. But in Days of Future past, it's quite clear their goal is to redeem Raven, not kill her. So Wolverine can be present in all of his awesomeness and power without it reducing the film's stakes. Even in the finale, when for once it looks like against Magneto a fight will solve their problems (since Wolverine has no adamantium), Magneto makes quick work of Wolverine and places the stakes back onto the decisions of himself, Mystique and Charles.
Back in 2014, I went to the theater with my whole family to watch The Amazing Spiderman 2, they don't have it anymore, and so we watched this movie, one of the best choice in my life
this is by far the best x men movie, it really utilizes all the characters so well, and the end sequence which shows the original cast was perfect. Such a shame it went rapidly downhill after this.
Singer took this classic storyline and made it much better. It's the best X-Men movie up to date. Singer knows how to handle a movie stuffed with many characters and not make them feel forced.
Never fully watched an X-men movie before this one and didn't have that much of an attachment to any characters. But damn did this movie absolutely hook me. This movie and the character building moments were so good that I just had to watch the whole way through.
Days of Future Past is still my favorite XMen film to date, and sure as hell rivals Endgame in terms of how good the time travel is. That being said, my favorite time travel flick is STILL Predestination, and Filmento my man, you have gotta make a video on that! It's the ultimate mindfuck..
One of the top super heroes movies of all time. Right below Infinity War. I rate it higher than many of the MCU movies. This was seriously good. Damn good plot. Time travel done right.
I remember when the trailer for this movie came out and I saw someone say that it was gonna be trash because of all the trash that came before. And here I was thinking, "You can't base how you think something is gonna be like based on what came before it." Comparing Days of Future Past to previous films does nothing for it. You need to see a film for what it is. And considering it technically is its own isolated story, best thing to do is just see the movie for what it is, not based on the legacy it has or lack thereof.
I can't really decide if I like this movie more or First Class. I prefer First Class's lighter tone and the characters are a bit more fun but I also love time travel movies and dofp has iconic moments like the Quicksilver one or the "Prof. X argues with Raven at the airport" scene
This movie was true greatness out of the gate. One of my all time favorite movies. Not just as a sci-fi or superhero movie. And they did something very smart setting up for the new class to takeover in First class for the reboot. It gave us a chance to get familiar to the new cast and put faces to names without having to think about it. In that way, we didn't waste any time during the movie first class trying to figure out or get accustomed to them in the roles we were already familiar with other actors having played. So we could just slip right into "First Class" without wasting any time and dissolve into the story itself.
"Just write" channel did an analysis of this movie and its crazy to see that the points you mentioned as its strength are the exact ones which they mentioned as its weaknesses. And I agree to both. 😂😂 I guess there is no right or wrong way to analyze arts.
Days of Future Past is one of my favorite superhero movies ever because it has SO MUCH PLOT. Like you said, everything that is shown actually has a purpose. It never wastes time on mindless stretched out action scenes but when there is action, it's extremely well done and is used to move the plot forward. And shit, it led to such an emotional pay-off. I got goosebumps when I saw Jean Grey appear in the end. Not only did this movie fix the train wreck of X3, it managed to use that shitty movie to make the ending of this movie that much more gratifying.
Hope everyone is having a great holiday! Filmento will return sometime early 2021.
Also, this movie's opening is actually very similar to Terminator Genisys. What differences can you think of that make this one work so much better?

Charles was Lost in a very bad place in 73, just as Logan was lost with his Amnesia at the beginning of the X-Men franchise. But by finding Charles Xavier, Logan was able to find meaning again - a reason to go on, a reason to care about things again.
And now, Logan does the same with the younger Charles Xavier; Logan becomes the mentor-figure to the man who mentored him.
And here's the best part; in doing that adventure in 1973, Charles and Logan cement a _friendship_ that was even _greater_ than what it was in the original timeline. You could say that before they were allies, but after this movie, they are _undoubtedly friends._ They care a great deal for one another.
And given the context of the movie, Xavier had to wait about 20 years after finding Logan in the new timeline, for the Logan he knew to "catch-up" as it were. Hell, there was always a chance that that Logan's consciousness was lost as the time he'd come from had been erased.
But then, at the end of the movie when Logan has woken-up and goes to talk to Xavier about it, and tells him...the look of surprise and joy that comes over Xavier's face is just so _heartwarming._
It's made him realize that after 50 years, the man he knew - his _friend_ - is finally back...
And it's like he said...The two have _so much catching-up_ to do.
...And then they had to make the Logan movie and completely _ruin that ending._
See, that's why I love this movie; because it's the relationship between _two men_ and a friendship that spanned more than _fifty years._ Both were lost, and they each helped the other find themselves again. It was a friendship beyond time...
Agreed. I’d say their relationship is more like father and son by the end. Even though Logan is way older than Charles technically, his amnesia lessens the weight of that, and Days of Future Past really does feel like a “son going back to save his father” movie.
Also, you can easily write off the Logan movie as taking place in a different timeline. Its worldbuilding is centered around there being no new mutants born in 25 years by the 2020s, whereas the end of Days of Future Past shows many young mutants at the school in the revised 2020s. So it’s definitely two different worlds.
Back to the Future can be a horror movie for a physicist.
There's something about your breathy whispering like voice that gets me hooked everytime.

@@FDALl-ms5kg yeah, and I'm taking pointers from this guy too.
This movie is absolutely fantastic. I remember not having much faith on it, and then I went to the theatre like five times to keep watching it. My favourite still is X-2, but Days of Future Past is no doubt one of the best X-Men movies ever.
Days of Future Past is even better than X2 because it's more intense movie with better plot, faster pace and with better performances !
I personally love x-men 2,days of future past, x men
Xmen days of future past
Xmen 2
Xman first class
Xman
Magneto is the saving grace of the entire franchise, even in the comics where its basically become 'holy shit, Magneto is right, humans will never let us live in peace'
He's my favourite character hands down. Not only are his powers the most incredible thing ever, but his character is neither villain or hero, his ideals are usually right but his ways of going about things are extremist. You agree with his opinions but not his methods, and that's how you make a layered character.
the only bad thing about this movie was its continuation apocalipsis
I never kept track of the xmen movies and forgot about them so I thought Apocalypsis was waaay before Days of Future Past and not in a chronological sense.
Apocalypse was fine and Logan was amazing. They fucked it up with Dark Pheonix.
Yeah Oscar Isaac was wasted in this movie. I bet under better direction, he would have been a great Apocalypse. Bryan did a lazy job and that is why the movie failed. I only liked the choices for his Horsemen and how Archangel looked. I hated that the character died.
The story goes Singer didn't even care about Apocalypse, and didn't show up to set a lot so Kinberg had to ghost direct most of the film which is why it's the way it is.
Exactly, Mystique is an antihero at best, but the hero? *projectile vomits*

"How Time Builds Great Movies" Laughs in Terminator reboots
What reboots? We had 1, and 2, and Salvation didn't really reboot the series. See? None of the 3 Terminator movies rebooted the series. Good thing they didn't make more.
Terminator Dark Fate
when I see Tim Miller and James Cameron doing interviews telling me about how the new and different things this new movie will blow me away.
Then I watch and see a pile a recycled ideas and scenes from better Terminator movies. not a new ideas, unless you forget that they did that in T3. they did that better in T2. Oh, I remember that plot line from Terminator Salvation. Over and Over, reminding me of a better movie that is not this one. Then remind me that Arnold had a son with his maid.

The “Rogue Cut” is FAR superior to the theatrical cut of DoFP, and that’s amazing because the theatrical version is great as-is
Any way to watch in online?
I disagree. The scenes of Magneto collecting his helmet was poorly chopped together with the scene of older Magneto and Iceman infiltrating the mansion. And both great scenes are completely messed up in the process
Rogue > Mystique
@@LukeLovesRose Yeah I get what you mean, I’ve seen the Theatrical Cut far more often than the Rogue Cut because it flows better, but I still personally prefer the RC because it gives both sides more to do before the third act
The Rogue Cut slows the movie down sadly.
Character and Plot combine to CP

Too late

No, Superhero Movie is the greatest superhero movie ever
Finally, I've been looking for this. Because of this movie, I actually had hoped for X-Men franchise to rise again, then Apocalypse ruined it.
Dark Phoenix was the nail on the coffin
A lot of what you're saying about time travel movies also applies to heist movies. DoFP is basically a heist movie and a time travel movie combined... a _TIMEHEIST,_ the best kind of movie.
Cue avengers endgame
How is this a heist movie? They aren’t stealing anything.
@@sheelavprakash9261 Mutants are stealing their right to exist back. Humans took that away from them with the creation of the sentinels. The point of them going back into the past is to change the extinction level future that humans have dealt them. The heist isn’t a monetary one, it’s an even more valuable existential heist. It is a time heist to reverse the genocide of mutant kind.
@@sheelavprakash9261 They're stealing Magneto from prison. Also Rogue, (if you watch 'the Rogue cut') and Rogue herself steals powers/life from Bobby and Kitty. So, in a way, there's a lot of stealing going on.
@@sheelavprakash9261 stealing time
My favorite part is that not killing Trask doesn't solve the problem, it makes it worse. THAT's a plot twist don't doesn't come out like a cheap gasp moment
4:13 I want a movie or series called "Wheels & Magnet Man"
My fav X-men movie ever. I'll take it over Endgame any time.
agree. better than Endgame. its more mature, darker and less comedic
Watching Colossus screaming while being ripped apart is gut wrenching!
I feel like Filmento's storytelling lessons are pure gold. If one day I get an oscar for writing, I owe Filmento. I hope this change will keep growing and keep on revealing good screenwriting secrets :) Good job!

I also loved that film. Feels like a video game
@@jonathanraecrisanto5912 I remember the first trailer and thought it was going to be a disaster, but went three times with different people to the theatre. And have watched it at least 8 times in all these years since 2014.
TENET: I am not a time travel movie, but neither is Edge Of Tomorrow, so I am better in every way
The only thing I dislike about this movie is that they kill off all the side character mutants off screen. It’s like a movie in between is missing
That's intentional though. The movie lets you imagine what happened and doesn't explain every single thing.
The original plan was to do DOFP as the third movie in a trilogy done by Matthew Vaughn, the director of FC, but Fox wanted it immediately so he left, which is why Singer did the movie.
Did you really care about them?
Did you really?
Who the hell cars boi? All the important ones were there.

the theme of time within the movie
Logan, days of future past, apocalypse
My three favourite X-Men movies in that order
The thing I love the most about this movie, the thing that I think makes it the quintessential X-Men movie, is that its villains are literally fear, hatred and discrimination themselves: the true sworn enemies of the X-Men, and never before this movie have these enemies actually felt so *alive.* It’s like a malevolent force, the force Charles Xavier has been fighting against his whole life, is *actively* manipulating events towards the hellish future, and the human and mutant villains are nothing but unwitting pawns in this force’s hands. The true final battle is not against Trask, it’s not against Magneto, it is against hatred itself. And how does Charles win? How does he save the world? By doing what he does best: healing the soul of a broken child.
I mean, it’s literal fu****g perfection.
Time Travel should just be renamed to: DeLoreaning.
no
what does "DeLoreaning" means?
@@g1y3 It's for Back To The Future. THE Time Travel Movie.
Three syllables with time travel, as opposed to five. The easier it is to say something, the easier it is to remember.
@@AtomicF0x Plus the concept of traveling in time forwards and back far predated Back to the Future. H.G Well's The Time Machine and probably plenty of other works did it first.
Between Mystique and Scarlett Witch Filmento’s thumbnails are bustin out lol
you had me at " YAAA HOO HOO HOOEY!!!"
7:00 i to enjoy it when character (C) and plot (P) combine to create CP
*-WAIT!*
I love how Magneto and Professor X work together in the end when their race is dying.
Both of their goals are the same , they just have different methods of achieving those
Watching this video I get the sense that Filmento enjoyed the movie It Follows. Would not be surprised if he made a video about it.
Didn't he already? Along with the breakdown of A Quiet Place, iirc. He made a comparison of the two regarding the central idea of "Fear of the Unknown" in horror movies
It seems almost inconceivable just how high this franchise got to this point and suddenly plummet in quality in subsequent films. WTF happened. This was perfection.
Can someone explain how CGI looked so good. Then suddenly everything looks like rubber. Look at this film vs black panther
I know right I watched this movie 7 TIMES and not once did I get bothered by bad CGI and it's not just the CGI the movie itself is so good too it's not my favourite movie or anything but damn this movie has some good CGI and a good story with good characters
Well at least with black panther and wonder woman why spend tons of money on good cgi when it won't hurt the financial return?
Disney has always been cheap with the special effects
Black Panther famously had little time for post production (It's rumoured that the last fight scene was given to the VFX studio just 6 weeks before the movie's release date). CGI looks good when there's enough planning and time.
@@guga_dias There is NO EXCUSE for a company like Disney to allow shit CGI like that
6:28 this scene where Magneto shoots the gun is so awesome. It's so meticulously well done.
Filmento making the thumbnail: torture dance intensifies

i always thought time travel was like a test that a movie either aced or failed, and days of future past nailed it
This has been one of the best videos explaining how to make a movie work I've watched.
I think one of the best things about this movie that gives it massive stakes is that unlike many other movies with Wolverine, a fight can't solve the problem. Often writers choose to throw in a nerf for his healing because he could solve the problem in like 10 seconds if he was at full strength, cos at that point he's pretty much immortal. But in Days of Future past, it's quite clear their goal is to redeem Raven, not kill her. So Wolverine can be present in all of his awesomeness and power without it reducing the film's stakes.
Even in the finale, when for once it looks like against Magneto a fight will solve their problems (since Wolverine has no adamantium), Magneto makes quick work of Wolverine and places the stakes back onto the decisions of himself, Mystique and Charles.
Underrated movie. I would definitely put this up as one of the best comic book films ever.
Filmento, I don't always agree with you but you're worthy.
I love you.
This film was gold 😌❤️
One of my favourite
Along with First Class and Logan
Back in 2014, I went to the theater with my whole family to watch The Amazing Spiderman 2, they don't have it anymore, and so we watched this movie, one of the best choice in my life
Wow I’m earlier than Hugh Hackman was when he took off all his clothes for this movie
thank you filmento. This review is about a year old and so good this is probably the 8th or 9th time i've watched it and still enjoy it. Great work.
this is by far the best x men movie, it really utilizes all the characters so well, and the end sequence which shows the original cast was perfect. Such a shame it went rapidly downhill after this.
Singer took this classic storyline and made it much better. It's the best X-Men movie up to date. Singer knows how to handle a movie stuffed with many characters and not make them feel forced.
Never fully watched an X-men movie before this one and didn't have that much of an attachment to any characters. But damn did this movie absolutely hook me. This movie and the character building moments were so good that I just had to watch the whole way through.
This movie is peak Team X-Men movies. The scene of the two Xaviers is so powerful.
Days of Future Past is still my favorite XMen film to date, and sure as hell rivals Endgame in terms of how good the time travel is. That being said, my favorite time travel flick is STILL Predestination, and Filmento my man, you have gotta make a video on that! It's the ultimate mindfuck..
One of the top super heroes movies of all time. Right below Infinity War. I rate it higher than many of the MCU movies.
This was seriously good. Damn good plot. Time travel done right.
I remember when the trailer for this movie came out and I saw someone say that it was gonna be trash because of all the trash that came before. And here I was thinking, "You can't base how you think something is gonna be like based on what came before it." Comparing Days of Future Past to previous films does nothing for it. You need to see a film for what it is. And considering it technically is its own isolated story, best thing to do is just see the movie for what it is, not based on the legacy it has or lack thereof.
Wow... that P/C chart just made me even more impressed with what Cameron managed on Titanic.
Agreed
Just passing to say you'r my favorite channel
The third act of this film is incredible.
I can't really decide if I like this movie more or First Class. I prefer First Class's lighter tone and the characters are a bit more fun but I also love time travel movies and dofp has iconic moments like the Quicksilver one or the "Prof. X argues with Raven at the airport" scene
i would add to this excellent critique. That this movie had some seriously excellent actors. Excellent actors + excellent plot = most excellent movie.
I literally just watched this movie yesterday
If i look at the top of the box office charts as a whole, I see sequels and reboots and franchise movies with fanbase already locked in
This movie for me justifies liking the franchise even when my friends hate it lol
This movie was true greatness out of the gate. One of my all time favorite movies. Not just as a sci-fi or superhero movie. And they did something very smart setting up for the new class to takeover in First class for the reboot. It gave us a chance to get familiar to the new cast and put faces to names without having to think about it. In that way, we didn't waste any time during the movie first class trying to figure out or get accustomed to them in the roles we were already familiar with other actors having played. So we could just slip right into "First Class" without wasting any time and dissolve into the story itself.
"Just write" channel did an analysis of this movie and its crazy to see that the points you mentioned as its strength are the exact ones which they mentioned as its weaknesses. And I agree to both. 😂😂
I guess there is no right or wrong way to analyze arts.
Ngl that portal girl and Nightcrawler got me singlehandedly hooked on teleporter powers

@@tokivikerness8863 they are underrated
I love these movies. Project Almanac's added addition of everything being filmed by a POV camera made it really interesting
@3:22 Caught me off guard with that one, thanks for the hearty chuckle.
Days of Future Past is one of my favorite superhero movies ever because it has SO MUCH PLOT. Like you said, everything that is shown actually has a purpose. It never wastes time on mindless stretched out action scenes but when there is action, it's extremely well done and is used to move the plot forward. And shit, it led to such an emotional pay-off. I got goosebumps when I saw Jean Grey appear in the end. Not only did this movie fix the train wreck of X3, it managed to use that shitty movie to make the ending of this movie that much more gratifying.
I honestly think this is the best superhero movie and it might even be my favorite movie of all time
This guy could argue to me that Angry Birds 2 was a cinematic masterpiece, and he would successfully convince me so.
Best X-Men movie to date and in the future.
I know 'cause they helped me travel there to have a look. 🤤
