- X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) Making an “X-Men” spin-off movie focusing on Hugh Jackman’s wildly popular character certainly isn’t a bad idea — as the rest of this ranking will make clear.
- X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) This collision of two of the most potent storylines from the X-Men comics — the emergence of Jean Grey as the Dark Phoenix and the upheaval caused by a cure for mutation — should never have resulted in a movie this aggressively stupid.
- X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) There are some who appreciate “Apocalypse” for its junky camp excesses, typified by Oscar Isaac’s titular, ancient, all-powerful villain watching a TV for the first time while hiss-moaning the word “Learrrrrnnninggg.”
- Dark Phoenix (2019) Simon Kinberg, one of the co-writers of “The Last Stand” who produced and/or wrote several more “X-Men” movies, made his feature directorial debut with what amounts to a do-over of the “Dark Phoenix Saga.”

Let’s get this out of the way: X-Men Origins: Wolverine is an unmitigated disaster. It wasn’t supposed to be a disaster, mind you—director Gavin Hood had just won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film when he signed on to direct—but disputes with the studio during production and an overall lack of vision led to the garbage fire that we have today...
Filmmaker Bryan Singer made his return to the X-Men franchise with the pretty good X-Men: Days of Future Past, but his follow-up film fell way short of expectations. X-Men: Apocalypse suffers from many of the same problems that plague today’s blockbusters—an uninteresting villain, bloated runtime, over-reliance on set pieces, too-complicated-for-it...
As a longtime fan of theX-Men franchise (for better and worse), it is a supreme bummer to discover that the series' likely final proper installment is as limp and mediocre as Dark Phoenix. Longtime franchise writer/producer Simon Kinberg made his directorial debut with the Apocalypse follow-up, intending to finally make good on the Dark Phoenix sto...
After two successful X-Men movies, 2006 is where things started to go south. X-Men: The Last Stand begins well enough, once again showing the team working together while introducing a new outside threat, but signs of the glut and monotony of the picture start seeping in just as Magneto begins forming his Brotherhood of Mutants. The Last Stand has t...
Deadpool 2 is fine. It's a sequel that improves upon its predecessor in some ways, like offering up more dynamic action and a more complex story, but it also lags behind in other key areas—like lacking the first film's razor sharp focus. You definitely can't say Deadpool 2isn't true to its source material, but your mileage may vary depending on whe...
The effect of 2000’s X-Men on the blockbuster landscape cannot be understated. The approach of Bryan Singer and Co. literally defined what a superhero movie could do by grounding the film with real emotions and real characters rather than approaching the whole thing as a disposable popcorn movie. I mean, the movie opens with Auschwitz during World ...
The movie that Fox was so hesitant to greenlight turned out to be the highest grossing X-Men movie so far (though it was eventually usurped by its sequel). Granted, Deadpool is leagues different than any X-Men film thus far, and the first to be R-rated, but director Tim Miller’s foul-mouthed adaptation struck a major chord with audiences. And it’s ...
In many ways, X-Men: Days of Future Past is the ultimate X-Men movie. It marked director Bryan Singer’s return to the series after departing following X2, and it finally melded together the old and new cast into one massive, All Star ensemble. And for the most part, Days of Future Past really works. The future-set sequences are wonderfully dynamic,...
The scale of The Wolverine is one of the smallest of the X-Men universe films, and yet the stakes of the movie feel so much bigger than the majority of the films in this particular franchise. By zeroing in on one character and anchoring the entire film with the emotional existential crisis of Hugh Jackman’s titular mutant, The Wolverine illuminated...
Upon release, X2 was heralded as a superior sequel and potentially genre-defining superhero film. And indeed, the film is really, really good, still holding up as incredibly solid all these years later. There’s a little sluggishness to the middle of the film, and its 133-minute runtime is surely felt as movie drones on, but it builds to a terrifica...

Oct 13, 2023 · X-Men movie timeline varies in quality, but the best films rank high among the greatest superhero movies ever. Franchise's R-rated spinoffs were met with critical and box office acclaim, but not every movie fared well. The MCU X-Men movie is expected to bring a new era for beloved Marvel characters.
