Do you think the 'Days of Future Past' comic storyline was done justice?

As you know, the X-Men films have not really been faithful to the comic story lines or character backstories. Obviously, all comic book films take liberties, but the X-Men films have taken more liberties than most.



- X1 was not faithful with the original line-up of mutants.

- X2 took a lot of liberties with the God Loves, Man Kills storyline like Stryker not really having a preacher background etc

- X3 REALLY changed the Dark Phoenix storyline.

- Origins was not faithful to the Weapon X storyline at all

- First Class made A LOT of changes and had nothing to do with the First Class storyline and some characters like Mystique as Xavier's adopted sister etc

- The Wolverine I thought was pretty faithful and kept the spirit of the Japanese storyline out of all the X-Men films.



Simon Kinberg in recent interviews said that he regrets some decisions he made on X-Men: The Last Stand with the Dark Phoenix story arc etc



My question is do you think Simon Kinberg and the filmmakers redeemed themselves and did the DOFP storyline justice. Sure, it does change some elements like it is Trask they have to stop being assassinated instead of Senator Kelly and Wolverine is the one who gets sent back instead of Kitty etc, but I think they kept the spirit of the comic and probably is the most faithful out of all the X-Men films and is adapted rather well.
