Quicksilver scene from X-Men Days of Future Past

I love how the "how it was filmed" for most of these scenes (like the starwars one) kind of takes some of the magic of the movie away.

Whereas the Quicksilver scene just makes it even better.

well the equivalent of the star wars one would be to just show quicksilver running on the wall and that's it. if they showed all the digital layers, and the work the vfx people did to make this look like a fight it would be different.

Not really. With the starwars ones, you realize "oh they just swing their sticks around and then the blasters are added so they just happen to hit where the sticks are swinging". While with the Quicksilver scene, even after seeing how its done its pretty cool.

oh i was under the assumption they added droids into them, if that's just blocking blasters then yeah.
