What I'm going to do now is rank the movies according to how I liked them. The X-Men movie franchise consists of 12 films, including the spin-offs. Here is my ranking, from worst to best, and I'm including the IMDb ratings:
12. X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)
6.7 - This movie ruined the whole original trilogy, it was a weak cop out of a movie.
11. X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)
6.9 - Apocalypse looked like Ivan Ooze from Power Rangers. I'm a big fan of the Apocalypse character and he didn't get the proper respect.
10. X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
6.6 - My All-Time favorite Marvel character is Wolverine. I actually liked this movie more when it dropped. It did not age well.
9. The Wolverine (2013)
6.7 - I am a fan of movies that don't hold the fate of the universe within the plot. This was just ok to me, interesting but just ok.
8. X-Men (2000)
7.4. - The O.G movie that started it all, flawed but still enjoyable. Well at least until Halle Berry's "What happenes to a Toad when it gets struck by lightning" line, and the total depiction of Rogue was blah.
7. Dark Phoenix (2019)
5.8 - Even though lots of fans didn't care for this movie, I actually enjoyed it. Plus it was WAY better than "The Last Stand"
6. Deadpool 2 (2018)
7.7 - Deadpool 2 was definitely an enjoyable movie, I don't have much more to say on that.
5. X-Men: First Class (2011)
7.7 - The Reboot was everything that was needed for this franchise and more. I'm still salty about how Darwin "died".
4. Deadpool (2016)
8.0 - The 1st Deadpool movie was amazing and just what the X-Men franchise needed.
3. X2: X-Men United (2003)
7.5 - This still stands the test of time, not only the best X-Men Movie (at the time in the first trilogy) but they did a lot of things with the side stories that I really enjoyed.
2. Logan (2017)
8.1 - Man...For awhile I considered this one of the best superhero dramas of all time. I actually still do, they did the 'Old Man Logan' storyline justice with this movie. Obviously it wasn't a page for page reiteration but this was excellent film making.
1. X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
8.0 - Arguably the best X-Men Movie of all time (Until they debut in the MCU???) But everything about this movie was great. I LOVED the way this movie essentially cleaned up the original trilogy making it just a potential timeline. The Sentinels were brutal, the relationship between Charles Xavier, Mystique, and Magneto was fantastic. Wolverine doing what he could to save his timeline was excellent.
