X-Men: Days of Future Past hit theaters 10 years ago today – and fans are showering the film with the love and praise it didn't receive back then.
The story, written by Jane Goldman, Simon Kinberg, and Matthew Vaughn, was inspired by the 1981 Uncanny X-Men storyline Days of Future Past and sees Logan (Hugh Jackman) aka Wolverine travel back in time to 1973 to prevent an event that will destroy both humans and mutants.

"Best X-Men movie and it’s not close," someone said.
"Hasn’t been a better X-Men film since. Don’t trust Marvel at all to properly reboot this franchise," someone else commented.
"I told my friend that this movie alone clears the entirety of Phase 4 MCU and ill stand on that forever," another fan commented.
"Seeing everyone in the quotes FINALLY showing this love is great, I’ve said for years now that timeline being messed up aside, this is the greatest standalone X-Men film," said another.
The film did well at the global box office and received some critical acclaim, but ultimately remains one of the most underrated installments in Fox's pre-MCU X-Men franchise. Both X-Men '97 and Deadpool & Wolverine have ignited interest in the superhero group...but we're still waiting on X-Men's proper introduction into the MCU.
