The Major Plot Hole That Almost Ruins X-Men: Days Of Future Past.

X-men: Days Of Future Past directed by Bryan Singer just hit the movie theaters across the nation. And unsurprisingly, it has been a big hit with audiences.

This new installment makes great strides in pushing the X-men franchise forward and is the best movie of the series albeit a slight improvement on Xmen: First Class. Its darker, tense depiction of the mythology, will play well with fans who, will definitely "forgive" a few of the glaring errors in the movie.

Bryan Singer did a great job in successfully weaving a very complex storyline with lot of characters without alienating anyone with the exception of Peter Dinklage/Trask, who was obviously under-used.

Read more in the review here. Lets move straight to the errors (Spoilers Inside).

A movie with such a complex storyline is bound to have errors although Singer's dexterity as a movie maker kept it to the minimum.
1. The timeline of the Wolverine's bone and metal claws created some confusion

2. Prof X's resurrection was never explained. Singer should have given some kind of explanation   especially when he included the scene of Wolverine killing Jean Grey in Xmen: The Last Stand. thereby negating the excuse that he was ignoring Brett Ratner's work.

3. In the climatic end scene, Magneto searches for the President, who is tucked away in an underground bunker. Magneto not only manages to penetrate deep down (I assuming this since the movie did not show how long they had to go underground but usually, bunkers are buried hundreds of feet underground and if it was not, then that is another error)  into where the bunker is, and not only able to bring out the bunker, he is able to know that the president is in there.

How is that possible? Except Magneto's helmet is a portable cerebro, there is no way he should know that there are people in the bunker.  Well some might overlook this but considering that Magneto himself at the beginning of the movie was buried, hundreds of feet beneath the ground and could not use his powers to bring an object from the surface to his underground prison to enable his escape, how then is he able to to use his powers to go hundreds of feet underground to bring out the bunker?

In First Class, Banshee/Prof X coordinated to find the submarine where Sebastian Shaw was hiding in and Magneto did the rest. This also contradicts the whole,imprisonment of Magneto under hundreds of feet of sand and concrete would stop him, since the same character pulled a submarine from hundreds of feet beneath the ocean.

The last time I checked, water, which the ocean is made from, is a non-metal. Therefore, Magneto's underground prison and his ability to find the President were  serious plot holes.

4. Mystique electing not to kill Trask IMHO is not sufficient to dissuade the President from, at least having a contingency plan against the mutants. On the contrary, a mutant "invasion" of the White House, should only reinforce the need to continue with the sentinel program. The seemingly impervious White house just gets ripped apart and everything is okay? Singer needed something else to correct the timeline. A lot more thought should have been put into the end.
