Last Stand is the only one I saw, and it pissed me off so much I never watched any more.

I've heard X1, 2, First Class, and Logan are good, but eh.

Honestly yeah sure it is has its flaws but lets be real the X Men series is really like three to four good movies and the rest are misses. (And Im not even counting the Deadpool movies despite the same universe)

I thought it was pretty bad, but X3 & Dark Phoenix were worse, IMO.

I wanted to like it, but in hindsight the only thing I got any enjoyment out of was the Quicksilver scene, which while enjoyable, remained inferior to the first in DoFP.

Dark Phoenix made me Rich Evans laugh in the theater during its climax.

Thats because they keep fucking with the Dark Phoenix Sage so
much. Like the cartoons do a better job adapting it.

It's just extremely forgettable. Not outright terrible, but it's bland. The best scene in the movie is a repeat of DofP's best scene.

agreed.

hopefully the MCU avoids that storyline.

Kinda hard to ignore it since now they can work with it since we have Skrull and Kree in the MCU so you got two of the three major empires and space is opened so they can better adapt it.

The Dark Phoenix saga is perfect. Every time the X-men movie continuity is starting to turn to shit, they always make the last and worst movie a Dark Phoenix movie. And then, like a real phoenix, they burn everything to the ground and start over. It's poetic, in a bad movie kind of way.

Besides how badly Apocalypse was handled, it also suffered from having half of the plot derailed just so Hugh Jackman could be on screen for a few seconds.

Dark Phoenix is amazingly bad. Like how did it turn out so bad. The actors acted like they were doing this movie completely against their will...

Apocalypse gets one thing right, though: the "no more superpowers" scene is the closest to classic animated apocalypse we've probably ever gotten. If he was like this the whole movie it could have been incredible, rather than what we got.

It has some really cool, well done scenes but overall it's a pretty dogshit movie.

Honestly one of the worst things about it is how amazing First Class and DoFP are. They set a high bar and came nowhere near it with AoA.

I actually recently rewatched all of them. First Class is my favorite by a wide margin. Then X2, followed by DoFP. The finally act of DoFP really holds it back imo.

Personally, both First Class and DofP hit a ton of right notes for me. McAvoy and Fassbender might actually eclipse Stewart and McKellan as my favorite Prof X / Magneto duo.

Pretty much this. I didn't hate it like some people, I thought parts were enjoyable, but I've never wanted to watch it again.

No I thought the original x men actors were much better, though I like Fassbinder much more than mcavoy
