Yeah, it was really good. I'm still a bit confused about Kitty's new Time powers though.
It is what it is.
I was confused too, but I got over it. Before casting stones at Bryan Singer, remember comicbooks would pull new powers out of nowhere all the time. Emma Frost didn't always have diamond powers and they certainly have nothing to do with telekinesis and lets just follow in this movies footsteps and forget the phoenix force.
I'm not a comic buff so I wouldn't know. I just know the basics of X-Men, a little of this and that from years of watching and reading. Doesn't diminish the film though.

X-men Days of Future Retcon
"I don't want your suffering. I DON'T WANT YOUR FUTURE!"
Those lines from the trailer? Young Charles Xavier was seeing clips from X-men 3 and Wolverine origins. Thankfully those are Retcon thanks to time travel plot.
Wolverine is the guy they send back in time because, of course he is. He isn't the all consuming black hole he was in X3, in fact the height of his usefulness is as Mr. Exposition who tells the past characters what they need to know. This means characters not restricted by a pg-13 rating get to shine; Beast, Bishop, Blink, and best of all Quicksilver(who steals the show) Storm is also in it, and given her own badass moment, but thankfully given no lines so HalleBerry can't fumble through them.
On to the sentinels; They've always been considered deadly in comics, where every future with them in it being the end of the world. But they look like big goofy purple dildos, not something you could take seriously in live action. Not in this movie, though. Half the death toll in the future, must just be from heart attacks when seeing the sentinels up close...that and overexposure to purple mood lighting. Action is...Avengers-ques, as all comicbook movies must be now, so expect disaster movie destruction.
Peter Dinklage isn't the only thing X-men took from GameofThrones, viewpoint jumps from character to character, past and future and is all the better for it. Even wolverine can't be said to have more screen time than anyone else, so you're never watching a boring scene, that just won't end.
I consider it a flaw, but you may not; Peter Dinklage's character isn't given as much screen time and despite creating and pushing the sentinels through congress his position as Big Bad is debatable. Despite the film revealing him as a Mad Scientist who performed fatal experiments on mutants, who WILL be the cause of the BadFuture; he's...human like the rest of us. And thus could have been played by anyone—literally anyone, I'm glad Peter D got a role in a big movie, but his acting chops weren't exactly strained. May be intentional?
Movie involves time travel so you will walk away with Fridge Logic about the TimeyWimeyBall it's inevitable. I'm gonna go ahead and call it, this is the best X-men movie.
