I'd say they are alright, but the overuse of CGI and that 2000's aesthetic has been so thoroughly driven into the ground it's going to be hard for someone unfamiliar with the movies to watch them and not feel a bit like the atmosphere is cheesy and derivative.

They are also from that weird era where the studios couldn't decide whether they wanted to make superhero movies for adults or to make them cheesy toy commercials, so there is that, as well.

CGI seems overused today too.

Spiderman 1 and 2 are still great. The pacing of the Xmen movies can be kinda annoying.

X2 is still the best X-men film so I'd say it holds up.

Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2, while campy, hold up as well.

It's good, but I like Days of Future Past the most. Still, it's too 2, with First class being 3

Spider-Man 1&2? Yeah.
X-Men 1&2? No...

I would also like to concur on DoFP being the best one.

Id say all of them hold up except the first X-Men. I mean, its ok, but its by far the worst of that group of movies. It has the slowest pacing of those movies and not much action. The original Sabretooth was horrible, too.

X-Men didn't hold up when it came out. It was a dull, dreary, pretentious mess that was highlighted only by Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. I watched X2, said to myself, "That was better than the first one... and it was still boring," and haven't watched an X-Men movie since.

I gave Van Helsing a second try. (It didn't pay off.) Maybe I should give X-Men the same courtesy. Hugh Jackman is a likable enough actor. I'm sure I'll see him in a good movie someday.

Around 2012-2013

It was directed by the same dude who did Arrival, Sicario and Bladerunner 2049
