We’ll have much more on X-Men: Days of Future Past as we approach its release on May 23, but below, read the first reactions for the film.
Here are just a small sampling of reaction Tweets from the film. Comic Book Movie has even more, and most of the below journalists tweeted multiple things. We just wanted a quick sample.
But honestly, I didn’t see one negative reaction. Here are the tweets.
Wow! DAYS OF FUTURE PAST is the greatest, most complete and staggeringly entertaining #xmen movie to date. Incredible. Movie of the summer!

X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST is great. Film finds a way to make both casts work & Quicksilver…wow. His main scene is highlight of the film.

have to say…was fucking awesome seeing the old and new X-MEN cast in the same movie. Movie is 2hr 10min. Wish it was longer.
Saw X-Men: DOFP & it was really good! In opinion its the best X-Men movie so far but that’s just me. It was like Avengers but with Mutants.

Is it as good as THE WINTER SOLDIER y’all ask? Well, mutants ain’t my thing & I’m a tad biased towards Cap but yes, it’s just as good!

There was also a lot of positive buzz about Quicksilver and the post credits scene, whatever that may be. Incidentally, for those wondering, the run time is about 130 minutes.
Again, we’ll have more on the film soon. But what do you think of these reactions? Do you trust them? Do they raise your expectations? Where were your expectations before/after this?
