Before Disney acquired the studio and the rights to the characters returned to Marvel, 20th Century Fox made a good go of an X-Men<\/em><\/a> movie franchise. The series was certainly a mixed bag. The prequel era brought some of the worst comic book movies in recent memory, despite featuring a bunch of the best actors working today, but movies like Deadpool<\/em> and Logan<\/em> changed the game with their R ratings and subversions of audiences\u2019 expectations.<\/p>\n

The original X-Men<\/em> movie blazed the trail for superhero blockbusters at the turn of the century, proving that comic books could form the basis for a very profitable blockbuster franchise.<\/p>\n

13 <\/span>Dark Phoenix (22%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Fox gave Simon Kinberg one chance to adapt the iconic \u201cDark Phoenix Saga\u201d for the big screen in X-Men: The Last Stand<\/em>, but he failed to deliver a worthwhile cinematic version.<\/p>\n

Then, for God knows what reason, the studio decided to give Kinberg another crack at it \u2013 as his directorial debut, no less \u2013 and unsurprisingly, the end result was another disappointing adaptation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

12 <\/span>The New Mutants (33%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Teased as a horror movie set in the X-Men<\/em> universe, The New Mutants<\/em> was initially highly anticipated. Then, there were a bunch of reshoots as the release date kept getting pushed back. The studio was also sold before New Mutants<\/em> was released.<\/p>\n

When New Mutants\u00a0<\/em>finally hit theaters during a global pandemic<\/a>, the reviews were so negative that few moviegoers wanted to risk their lives to see it.<\/p>\n

11 <\/span>X-Men Origins: Wolverine (37%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While Wolverine\u2019s solo trilogy would culminate in one of the greatest superhero movies ever made<\/a>, it started with one of the worst. Hugh Jackman wanted to dig a little deeper into Logan<\/em> in his origin story, but the studio just made it another team-up movie that minimized Wolverine as much as the regular X-Men<\/em> movies did, negating the whole purpose of its existence.<\/p>\n

X-Men Origins: Wolverine\u00a0<\/em>was so underwhelming that it derailed plans for other solo movies featuring mutants<\/a>.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>X-Men: Apocalypse (47%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Apocalypse is one of the Marvel Universe\u2019s most all-powerful villains, so it was pretty tantalizing when it was announced that he\u2019d be played by Oscar Isaac on the big screen.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the script was lackluster and the only powers that Apocalypse got to use were sand manipulation and changing the TV channel without using the remote.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>X-Men: The Last Stand (57%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The X-Men<\/em> franchise\u2019s first of two failed attempts to adapt \u201cThe Dark Phoenix Saga,\u201d The Last Stand<\/em> followed up its groundbreaking predecessors with the first of many disappointing superhero threequels.<\/p>\n

This movie is more notable for its meme-able scenes (\u201cI\u2019m the Juggernaut, b*tch!\u201d) than anything else.\u00a0The Last Stand\u00a0<\/em>kills off a number of characters in unsatisfying ways as it rushes through an epic storyline that deserves much better.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>The Wolverine (71%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

James Mangold wouldn\u2019t get to go all-out with his portrayal of Wolverine until Fox let him aim for an R rating with Logan<\/em>. However, under\u00a0the constraints of a PG-13 rating and a ton of studio interference, he managed to make The Wolverine<\/em> more exciting than the average blockbuster.<\/p>\n

The movie makes terrific use of its Japanese setting, like having a fight on the roof of a moving bullet train.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>X-Men (81%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Although Richard Donner\u2019s Superman<\/em> and Tim Burton\u2019s Batman<\/em> had hit theaters decades earlier and Blade<\/em>\u2019s part in the equation can\u2019t be discounted, Bryan Singer\u2019s X-Men<\/em> can be credited with launching the superhero genre\u2019s domination of Hollywood blockbusters.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0X-Men\u00a0<\/em>would be surpassed by later films in the franchise, its contribution to showcasing the commercial and critical potential for mainstream movies based on comic book properties should not be minimized.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Deadpool 2 (83%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While the sequel to Deadpool<\/em> couldn\u2019t quite live up to the breath of fresh air<\/a> of the first movie, it did a great job of raising the stakes from the first one and developing the characters further while introducing a batch of new ones.<\/p>\n

Deadpool 2<\/em> continued to leave the audience\u2019s expectations in its dust, as it sets up an ensemble for a team-up franchise, then kills them all off immediately.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>X2 (85%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The tradition of superhero movie sequels being bigger, bolder, and more action-packed than their origin-focused predecessors, like Spider-Man 2<\/em> and The Dark Knight<\/em>, began with X2<\/em>.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a010 Marvel Villains We Want To See In The Next Avengers Game<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The movie breaks up the mutants early on as they\u2019re all faced with a common enemy and have to join forces in clumps throughout the second act before reuniting for a big final battle in the third.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Deadpool (85%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Fox put off Ryan Reynolds\u2019 Deadpool<\/em> film project for years, fearing that a self-aware R-rated superhero movie<\/a> filled with profanity and gruesome violence wouldn\u2019t make them a lot of money.<\/p>\n

These reservations remained when the movie was finally greenlit with a shoestring budget. Of course, these doubts turned out to be unfounded. Deadpool<\/em>\u2019s record-breaking box office numbers speak for themselves.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>X-Men: First Class (86%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

After the disappointment of X-Men: The Last Stand<\/em>, Fox executives decided to reboot the franchise with a prequel, First Class<\/em>. Set in the \u201860s, this film details the origin of Professor X and Magneto\u2019s love\/hate dichotomy.<\/p>\n

While this new direction would eventually kill the franchise, it got off to an intriguing start in the hands of director Matthew Vaughn.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>X-Men: Days Of Future Past (90%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Wolverine is sent back in time<\/a> in X-Men: Days of Future Past<\/em>, arguably the biggest, most spectacular movie in the X-Men<\/em> franchise. Logan\u2019s quest to prevent the Sentinels\u2019 extermination of the mutant race in the future provided the perfect narrative vehicle to bring the original cast and the prequel cast together.<\/p>\n

X-Men: Days of Future Past\u00a0<\/em>is an action-packed romp that represents the franchise at its best.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Logan (93%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

After helming The Wolverine<\/em> with a PG-13 rating, James Mangold was allowed the freedom of an R rating with Logan<\/em>, which Hugh Jackman decided early on that this would be his last appearance as Wolverine.<\/p>\n

In telling the story of the end of Wolverine\u2019s road and his reluctant quest to save the next generation of mutants, Mangold drew heavily from the classic western Shane<\/em> and gave the character a perfect swan song<\/a>.<\/p>\n
