The X-Men movies. All of them.
X-Men was very good, but the out of nowhere Wolverine/Cyclops rivalry comes out of nowhere and isn’t interesting. Halle Berry was terrible. Famke Janssen and James Marsden did well with what they had, but that wasn’t much. Hugh Jackman did a great job, as did Patrick Stuart and Ian McKellan. Overall, 7.5/10.

X2 was much better. I liked that the younger characters were developed and not annoying. Pyro’s transformation was pretty good. I liked the Wolverine had no qualms with leaving Stryker for dead, and Famke Janssen had more to work with. Really enjoyed it, one of the best Marvel films, 8.5/10.

X-Men: The Last Stand was pretty bad. The deaths of Cyclops and Charles felt like cop outs, and most of the side characters are barely realised at all. Jean was extremely boring, and felt really generic. The final battle was boring, for instance 6 good guys fighting 100 bad guys is really stupid. Also, why do these people who barely know Erik die for him? In fact, who are these people? I did like the opening scene, and the acting was alright, so I’ll give it a 4.5/10.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine was absolute crap. Nothing good, except the opening montage. 1.5/10.

X-Men First Class was good. Not great. The script was very cheesy, and the acting was, for the most part, subpar. Had some good scenes, and James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender were both fantastic. 7/10.

The Wolverine is criminally underrated, in my opinion. I liked the development of Wolverine, and the interactions he has with the other characters. Action scenes were fantastic. The villain was cliche though. 8.5/10.

Days of Future Past was good. Had no real standout scenes, except for the “Time in a Bottle” scene. Good acting. Mystique was annoying, and I am really sick of Jennifer Lawrences performance of her. The ending undermined X-Men Apocalypse. 7/10.

Overall the movies are pretty good. Much better than the MCU, for sure.
