haven't seen all of them, because well, why give it more chances
which ones were the good ones
They certainly can be, if there’s not an interesting central conflict and compelling characters.
Good: X-Men 2, Days of Future Past, Logan
Mediocre: X-Men, The Wolverine, First Class
Bad: X-Men 3, Wolverine: Origins, Apocalypse

Quicksilver was the best thing about the X-Men movies.
Agreed. I tend to weight the first film a little stronger than it may deserve since it was good enough to kinda-sorta be responsible for the last 20 years of good superhero movies
I refute this utterly. One great scene and another lesser photocopy of that great scene are the sum total of his contributions.
Hugh Jackman is far and away the best thing in basically every X-Men movie he's in. Patrick Stewart is likewise excellent though not used as well as he should have been. Fassbinder and McKellan are a great pair of Magnetos.
Also I think I prefer the Nightcrawler scene in X2 over Quicksilver's bit in DoFP.

Logan stands so far apart from the X-Men series in tone and quality, it might as well be Deadpool
First Class... is...
Fuck, it's so bad.
It's X3-level bad. People were like "oh, they chose an aesthetic, that means it's good."
No, it's baddy-bad-bad. Also racist in that weird way we let certain creators get away with.
Also, it's my birthday now?
CDG sux lmao
Also yes I haven’t seen all the X-men movies but I’ve seen the ones Bogart said are good and they’re good
I caught glimpses of Apocalypse on an airplane and it was baddddd

CDG is way better than it used to be but unless you're in a lounge seven hours is a long bloody time to be in an airport.
We should all just do like we did with the Star Wars prequels and pretend they never made any after that
But Michael Fassbender is great.
It wasn’t bad but it had some poorly thought out writing.
It was a refreshing take after previous movies only tried to rehash story highlights.
There’s a lot of crap though
Classic Fassbender
PS2 is a bit different though, if it’s still like when I used to play it the winning strategy was often “get as many men on the point and spam them with revive grenades”
that isn’t how I remember the gameplay of PS2 classic Shadow of the Colossus
I honestly don't think of Jackman as part of the X-men team. Same thing with Patrick Stewart. McKellan is always great of course. Fassbinder I have thoughts about but I don't think he was bad.
Also both Jackman and Stewart are done with the X-men movies so anything coming out is going to really have to pick up their slack.
I guess there was a thing going around about them wanting to do a 60's Fantastic Four movie directed by Peyton Reed for 2022
You were playing it like an amateur then
And the other minority character changes loyalty and motivation INSTANTLY to follow her new friend's murderer after watching that because brown people are apparently stupid, incompetent and prone to violence.
The movie bent itself into pretzels to dryfuck its minority characters in service of providing the opportunity for a bunch of very, very bland white people being bland. Like... omitting McAvoy and Fassbender, the cast was so incredibly lifeless and fucky. Jennifer Lawrence is a pretty good actor, when she feels like it. Which btw, is unprofessional as a mf. Whoever played beast is blaaaaand... Banshee? Yawn. Who... who else was in that turd? Oh, Havok, yeah. Fuck that guy, too.
The single best moment in the entire film was a cameo character telling the two ostensible leads to do exactly what ever single decision-maker involved in the entire production needed to, and probably still needs, to do.
Man, that's a bad movie.
[Fontsize=4] he's not wrong, just stop chasing kills after they've snowballed [/fontsize=4]
I'm still proud of myself for having a Great Victory in Cultist Simulator.

we had one like that
we stopped trying to poke our heads out, that was suicide
we just stoop inside there, desperately reviving each other, dying seconds later to the constant barrage of grenades the enemy was chucking into the room
for four minutes somehow the enemy never thought to actually move in
just kept throwing grenades in, killing us over and over but just happened to never kill every medic at once
Man, it’s no coincidence that all the best X-Men movies are the ones that focus on both Jackman and Stewart
all that was left was one engineer and a MAX at one of the points
I don't know who, but somebody had the idea, wait
wait, let's knife this son of a bitch
(MAX suits are very very resistant to knife attacks - as a big exoskeleton suit of armor should be)
it was glorious, all of us charging in, knives out, swarming over them, the MAX eventually succumbing to a thousand cuts
I couldn’t endorse this more unless they wanted Stephen Colbert for Reed Richards
Is Stephen Colbert good at not-comedy? Cause he definetely would make a good Reid.

That’s gotta be a record
