2) X-Men: Days of Future Past: Quicksilver Runs Circles
In what is perhaps one of the best-filmed – and genuinely funny – comic book movie scenes ever, we finally get the chance to slip into the skin of one of these larger-than-life heroes, as Quicksilver leads a lightning-fast prison break.
Filmed in a special format of 3600 frames per second (which makes Quicksilver 150 times faster than you or I), X-Men: Days of Future Past bends the laws of physics as Evan Peters (who is at the top of his game here) zips around a room filled with security guards and, literally faster than a bullet, neutralizes them all with a prod of his finger.
It’s a scene that is lent a fair amount of humour thanks to the actor’s performance, but one that captures the feel of a character in a way that hasn’t been featured in the franchise since Nightcrawler’s opening sequence in X2.
