X-men Day Of Future Past (2014)

Bryan Singer returns to the series and helms another great X-men movie, probably even my favourite X-men film. Everything is handled exceedingly well, the story is great, with the time travel element being handled quite well, the acting is great, with particular praise to Michael Fassbender, James Mcavoy and even Evan Peters who does really good as Quicksilver. There's a good mix of action, drama and humour with a fair amount of depth and very consistent pacing. It's tense, emotional and thoroughly engaging, an all around great movie. Bring on Apocalypse.

X-men (2000)

The movie that helped spawn the reemergence of superhero movies and a very solid one at that. Everything is handled really well and the film flies by quickly due to its 90 minute run time (excluding credits) which very rare run time for a superhero film.There's a nice mix of drama, humour and action and overall it's a very solid film.
