Brief Synopsis:
An edit of an almost perfect X-Men film that adds the best of the official Extended Edition to the Theatrical cut, while also trimming and cutting bits and pieces here and there. A few jokes, lines, Mystique moments, breaking of the time-travel rules and the ending have been cut and changed from the film as to better the overall story and narrative thrust.
Intention:
I wanted to trim and shift a few things to make, in my eyes, the perfect cut of DOFP. There have always been things that bugged me, so now I get to go in and fix them up.
Other Sources:
- X-Men: Days of Future Past - Rogue Cut Blu-Ray - Both cuts included were used, as the theatrical was the base, with the best RC moments added in
- Official Trailer 2 - Prof X's unused line was taken from here and put back into the film
- MPC VFX Breakdown - An extended shot of a Sentinel opening its face was used to cover up a cut of Kitty's asshole line
Special Thanks:
Uncanny Antman for providing feedback on how to cut the Wolverine freakout in Paris
stferguson78 for watching an almost final version for errors
hbenthow and Masirimso17 for contributing in the thread as a little bit of inspiration

Literally have no complaints! All the editing was immaculate for me — I couldn’t catch a single issue. Dugnutt has made what I consider to be the perfect finale to my personal X-Men trilogy: First Class, X2, DoFP - A Dugnutt Cut..

An edit that brings the best from both cuts (theatrical/rogue) and genuinely provides the best overall version of this story!

Perfectly cut and regraded edit by Bobson, making this my new Go-To version of Days of Future Past.
I agree that cutting some of mystiques parts were needed!

Picture, sound quality and cuts are all flawless. Thank you for letting me watch this!

Hello I'm new to this site, only seen 1 other edit. I got this one from someone on reddit and I really liked it so I came to leave a review. Really really enjoyed it, Days of Future Past is one of my favorite movies! My only complaint was that it was in stereo, I watched this with my brother over christmas break and he has a nice surround sound system that didn't get used (that's mostly just his complaints, I didn't mind that much) but I still liked it more than the original which is saying a lot. Also I can bump my audio score up if I just got a weird source. Thanks JokerDip for the link and thanks Bobson Dugnutt for the great edit!

I definitely prefer this version of "X-men days of future's past" over the original and rogue cut for many reasons. While I appreciate the rogue cut of expanding mystique's character to give a little more personality who I felt like was one of the weakest and very one-note character like Trask but it wasn't enough. The extended cut had more back-tracking and fan service but was slightly better than the original. But the Bobson cut perfectly balances the two movies and improves mystiques character the most by showing less of her thus making her mysterious and unpredictable which is true to her character but also focusing on her conflicted moral choice in her quest for revenge while being persuaded by her two biggest influences to make the right choice. The other good thing about the edit is that it made it lead up to the original first two x-men movies than leading up to "x-men: apocalypse" which didn't make any sense because there is no mention nor intention of mystique turning into stryker and rescuing wolverine in the 8th movie.
The minor complaints I have of the movies is there are a few scenes spoken in foreign languages especially the one with mystique in the hospital that I feel should need subtitles, a random audio voice of Trask mid-sentence while professor-x was reading minds in Washington D.C. but that could be forgiven, and Replacing the post-credit scenes with the mid-credit scene from the rogue cut as honestly I prefer this movie to be more of a standalone or a prequel to the original x-men movie than to the next follow-up(unless there is going to be a future fanedit of that movie).
Overall a highly recommended movie.
