The mutants are back with a bang! The much-awaited “X-Men:Days of Future Past” hits the theaters today, and from the initial response, the latest mutant saga seems headed towards scoring big at the ticket counters in the days to come.

Helmed by director Bryan Singer, the brand new installment of the super successful franchise stars Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart.

 

 

We bring you a brief roundup of critics take on the film. Read on to know:

 

 

• "Not since 2003's X2: X-Men United has [Singer] tapped so effortlessly into his talent for comicbook gravitas, his ability to mine emotinal resonance, pop poetry and (crucially) sly humor," says Variety's Justin Chang.

• "While it's more dramatically diffuse than the reboot and lacks a definitive villain, the new film is shot through with a stirring reverence for the Marvel Comics characters and their universe," writes David Rooney of the Hollywood Reporter. "Singer has pulled together an ambitious, suspenseful screen chapter that secures a future for the franchise while facilitating continued reinvention."

• "The most ambitious and ingenious of the long-running series, X-Men: Days of Future Past keeps the key crew of mutants busier than ever," lauds Claudia Puig of USA Today. "Between globe-hopping, time-traveling and employing their various powers early and often, these superhuman folks are non-stop in this riveting sequel."
