I remember the hype for this was mostly 
when it was announced. The MCU was on a roll and a lot of people were hoping they’d take X Men from Fox. First Class was good and it took the X Men franchise off life support after Wolverine Origins and The Last Stand but most people weren’t too excited with Singer and the original cast coming back, especially with Singer’s last comic book film being boring Superman Returns. Plus you still had Simon Kinberg who wrote The Last Stand coming back as the writer which made the bad buzz even worse. Then those photos of Quicksilver came out and people started clowning the hell out of this, expecting it to bomb.
First trailer was decent but a tad over dramatic, and didn’t seem all that different stylistically from the previous X Men films.
Second trailer was
okay this actually looks pretty good and at least visually interesting
Third trailer was
okay they actually have some decent humor in this and a sense of fun to go along with the dark story and action.
So I went into it with average expectations, then when the opening credits hit with the X2 theme that’s when I started getting that “okay this movie might be on to something” feeling
Then once that opening scene hit where they all get murked I knew I was in for a great movie
Fox’s X Men franchise is a mixed bag with some terrible lows but Days of Future Past was the highlight for me. This is a legitimately great movie and one of the best comic book films of all time imo. The low expectations people had for it made it hit even harder
