CRITIC REVIEWS FOR X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST
X-Men: Days of Future Past builds upon the outstanding First Class by offering up an immensely fascinating and spectacularly entertaining storyline that just goes to show how far this franchise has come in recent years.
Solid acting, a storyline that creates tension even if you can anticipate the outcome, and killer action set pieces more than make up for the slightly overstuffed feel.

MOVIE INFO
James Bond's first 007 mission takes him to Madagascar, where he is to spy on a terrorist Mollaka. Not everything goes as planned and Bond decides to investigate, independently of the MI6 agency, in order to track down the rest of the terrorist cell. Following a lead to the Bahamas, he encounters Dimitrios and his girlfriend, Solange. He learns that Dimitrios is involved with Le Chiffre, banker to the world's terrorist organizations. Secret Service intelligence reveals that Le Chiffre is planning to raise money in a high-stakes poker game in Montenegro at Le Casino Royale. MI6 assigns 007 to play against him, knowing that if Le Chiffre loses, it will destroy his organization. 'M' places Bond under the watchful eye of the beguiling Vesper Lynd. At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together--and even torture at the hands of Le Chiffre. In Montenegro, Bond allies himself with Matthis, MI6's local field agent, and Felix Leiter, who is representing the interests of the CIA. The marathon game proceeds with dirty tricks and violence, raising the stakes beyond blood money and reaching a terrifying climax.

'Sometimes, friends begin as enemies and enemies begin as friends', the narration says at the beginning. This is a good indicator that what you're getting into isn't your typical Neverland story.
Peter Pan is left as a baby at the doorstep of an orphanage in England. When he grows up, World War II is in full swing, with the blitz arriving at his doorstep. Meanwhile, orphans keep disappearing and Peter begins to learn the true identity of his mother.
What follows is an adventure to the famous Neverland, re-imagined for modern audiences with CGI creatures, pirates singing covers of Nirvana and the Ramones. There are tribesmen and mermaids too, among other fantastical things.
Hugh Jackman is the highlight of the film as the villainous Blackbeard, especially in a scene early on where he confronts Peter about his flying powers, and the legend that a boy will come to rise up against him "Have you come to kill me, Peter?" he says in a somber tone. He has a charm and menace about him that suits the role well, and makes his unique looking character all the more memorable.
Levi Miller as Peter Pan performs well, as does the rest of the cast, but I found Hook's portrayal by Garrett Hedlund to be grating and distracting to watch. Maybe it's the accent they gave him, the actor's performance, or the overt sincerity of the character - a character which acts completely different in the original story. I just couldn't see him becoming Captain Hook.
The love story between him and Princess Tiger Lily (Rooney Mara) also seemed forced and underdeveloped; put in as an afterthought to break up all the action set pieces.
Speaking of action set pieces, there are a lot of them. For the most part, they're pretty good, like early on when Peter and Hook escape Blackbeard's mines. But near the end of the film, they seemed a bit extraneous and unnecessary, some scenes could have been shortened or cut out and it wouldn't have hurt the picture.
The final showdown between Peter and Blackbeard seemed a bit rushed, though, with Peter suddenly gaining magical powers, just for the convenience of the plot - it seemed to come out of nowhere.
Joe Wright knows how to make a beautiful looking movie, each scene comes alive with his distinct touch. The score composed by John Powell is equally enchanting as well.
"Pan" is a pretty watchable movie, let down by some flaws in writing and casting.
