Its a busy time for X-Men fans. With the release of the highly anticipated next installment of the series, "Days Of Future Past," only two weeks away, the film's promotional machine is in full swing. On top of the cast's appearance on Good Morning America and Hugh Jackman's turn interviewing himself, early reviews have started to surface and response to the film is looking overwhelmingly positive.
Critics took to social media late last night with their responses following the first screening. Fox5 film critic Kevin McCarthy, in particular, was exuberant in his praise for the film.

I'll say this about #XmenDaysOfFuturePast: The third act is a hell of a good time. And Quicksilver is a big highlight. — Eric Walkuski (@ericwalkuski) May 8, 2014
Surprisingly, QUICKSILVER wasn't corny.
