Days of Future Past. I don’t know how something can be so good and yet feel kind of bad at the same time. Great cast, some great scenes, but overall kind of stinks. My least favourite parts were definitely the stupid cyborg thingies. Will probably watch Apocalypse next.

The X-Men movies are kinda dumb but the Quicksilver scenes are always really really cool and I would watch a TV show based on that.
90% of the reason why I watched it
the other 10% being young cyclops which I have now learned is another movie entirely
It may be slop, but it’s slop that forces consumers to engage with the idea of being a marginalized person.
in what world does committing a super mega terrorism come off better than killing one guy, just because you change your mind at the end? They would have come down so hard after this
The only difference I see is that Mystique didn’t let herself get captured this time
and don’t get me started on JFK being “one of the good ones”
they should have leaned in hard on the assassination and shown why Magneto meant it - oh oo they stopped me saving him, I don’t believe that for a second
also personally I hated the intro and really forced myself to get past it since I had already seen some iconic scenes on tiktok, but maybe that’s on me for not watching any xmen movies since Jean / Phoenix died in whatever movie that was, but it was like there was me watching it, and me watching myself watching it and feeling embarrassed
I liked First Class, I’ve yet to see more of the rebooted MCU x-men movies.
Days of Future Past is worth a watch if you liked First Class. The other two are just kinda bad - it is what it is lol
Will probably watch Apocalypse next.
That movie wastes Oscar Isaac so badly, it’s shameful.
I didn’t have high hopes anyway but I did see him in the cast and feel intrigued
Pretty much unrelated (except both being Marvel adaptations), but Moon Knight is Oscar Issac doing some great acting in some superhero slop. Worth a watch if you’re into the genre.
X2 and DOFP are the only good X-Men films tbh
And Logan if you count that
Watch X-Men 97, solidifies that superhero stories should be animated, amazing storytelling and maintains the nostalgic animation.
Wolverine himself is entirely inconsequential to the plot, aside from being Wolverine, who drives ticket sales.
First Class > X2 > Last Stand is the goated trilogy of the X-Men film series and it didn’t even happen chronologically.
