Day Of Future Past did not disappoint. Reasonably paced, coherently plotted, consistently entertaining, doesn't contain any especially blatant pants-on-head-stupid parts. My only real complaint can be summed up as "a Nixon says what?" which I'm sure you will also see when you get to it, and does not ruin the movie.

As superhero movies go, it is by far the best X-Men movie, it is easily the best non-Marvel-Studios superhero movie ever made, and it is comparable to several of Marvel's own movies. This is high praise.

(Oh, and in the process it fixes most of the stupid parts of the previous, terrible X-Men movies. And it does so in a consistent in-world way, which is nice.)

#1: The first two Spiderman movies were decent - they hired a nerd who loved comics and knew how to make movies (Raimi) to make a comic movie, and it worked well as a classic example of Superhero Movies From Before They Figured Out How To Make Superhero Movies. They were perfectly adequate, for the time.

#2: Those aren't "recent".
