[Days of Future Past is] the first to get a four-star rating from us hard-to-please grouches at the Sunday Mail, but the rating isn't because it departs from formula (it doesn't), more because it ties everything together – the X-People's struggle for acceptance in human society, the Xavier-Magneto rivalry, the retro trappings and breezier tone of stylish prequel X-Men: First Class – and does so in a smooth, coherent way. Fans will be thrilled. Neutrals (like me) should, at least, be entertained.
