- 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.”

Directed by Gavin Hood, X-Men Origins: Wolverine adapted Marvel Comics' Origin miniseries, which revealed Wolverine's real name - James Howlett - and his tragic past. Hugh Jackman became a producer and trained hard to sculpt Wolv...
X-Men: The Last Stand was directed by Brett Ratner, who replaced Bryan Singer when he left the franchise to make Superman Returns for Warner Bros. Written by Simon Kinberg and Zak Penn, X-Men: The Last Stand follows up Jean Grey's death inX2: X-Men United by cramming together two different comics stories: Joss Whedon's Gifted, about a mutant cure, ...
While The New Mutantswas a movie that held a lot of promise and a solid cast roster, ultimately its potential did not come to fruition. What was seemingly intended to be a brave new foray for the X-Men franchise - exploring the teen horror genre - instead came across as lackluster on both a narrative and tonal level, resulting in one of the franchi...
The final X-Men movie directed by Bryan Singer,X-Men: Apocalypse attempted to replicate X-Men: The Animated Series on the big screen. Oscar Isaac portrays En Sabah Nur, the 5,000-year-old all-powerful mutant called Apocalypse, who awakens in 1983 and tries to destroy the world. It was never really clear what Apocalypse's plan actually was as he ass...
The Wolverine is the second standalone spinoff about Logan directed by James Mangold from a screenplay by Mark Bomback and Scott Frank. It adapts the 1982 Marvel Comics miniseries Wolverine, but it's also a sequel toX-Men: The Last Standwhere Logan still mourns Jean Grey's death as he's called to Japan by his old World War II friend, Ichiro Yashida...
Dark Phoenix is the second attempt at adapting The Dark Phoenix Saga comic story, but this time, Jean Grey's corruption by the Phoenix Force is the A-story that tragically fractures the X-Men. Writer Simon Kinberg steps into the director's chair for what turned out to be the final Fox X-Men film after it was purchased by Disney. In Dark Phoenix, wh...
X-Men, directed by Bryan Singer and written by David Hayter, kicked off the modern comic book movie boom period in 2000. While it's a modestly-scaled superhero adventure, especially by today's standards, X-Men introduced the iconic frenemies Professor X and Magneto played respectively by Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan, the concept of superpowered...
Directed by David Leitch, Deadpool 2 doesn'tmatch the shock value of the original film but it's even more ambitious. Deadpool 2 not only brings in Cable (Josh Brolin) and X-Force but also the concept of time travel, which Wade Wilson indulges in during the film's end-credits scene. Deadpool 2controversially kills off Morena Baccarin's Vanessa as Ca...
Directed by Matthew Vaughn, 2011's X-Men: First Class is a soft reboot of the mainline X-Men films and depicts not only the first gathering of X-Men but the origin of the lifelong friendship and animosity between Charles Xavier, Magneto, and Mystique (incorporating elements from the canceled X-Men Origins: Magneto). Set primarily during the 1962 Cu...
An R-rated, raunchy superhero comedy, director Tim Miller's Deadpool was an unexpected breath of fresh air for the X-Men franchise. Produced by and starring Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson, the titular Merc with a Mouth, Deadpool was actually in development even before Reynolds portrayed an inferior version of the character in X-Men Origins: Wolverine...
