The Movie Wizard of Oz - Ranking The X-Men Franchise from Worst to Best

For 20 years, 20th Century Fox’s X-Men films and associated spinoffs built up a world that could stand separately from the MCU and DCEU. While the results were not always what audiences, filmmakers or even the actors desired, there was a certain underdog quality to the X-franchise. Just when it seemed like Wolverine had popped his last claw, Magneto and Xavier had played their last chess game and doors to that iconic school for gifted youngsters would never open again, the X-movies still managed to surprise us. Just when we thought they were down for the count, they came back stronger.
While the franchise as a whole is mired in continuity issues and broad, sometimes inexplicable deviations from the source material, audiences were always kept on their toes. It was fun watching these movies without ever knowing where we were headed next. While other cinematic universes banked on maps and timelines for a decade of future-dated projects, the X-Men series always seemed to fly by the seat of its pants, and you’d never quite know who was being introduced next or which character would be subject to a spinoff. While there is understandably a great deal of excitement to see the X-Men in the MCU, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t immensely curious about seeing those projects that had never happened: sequels to The New Mutants, Gore Verbinski’s Gambit, X-23, X-Men: Fear the Beast and the two sequels that were planned to follow Dark Phoenix. Would any of them have been good? I suspect Verbinski’s Gambit would’ve been great, but we’ll never know. The point is that these movies took swings and told stories without being overly concerned about continuity. That’s a quality that made these films worth keeping an eye out for, at the very least.

@@JustinWilliams367 Nice ranking

The X Men movies are hit and miss.

@@chasehedges6775 Amen

[@chasehedges6775]

I think all the ones that are good are fantastic, stuff like X Men The Last Stand and The Wolverine(2013) are watchable and all the bad stuff is really bad.

@@chasehedges6775 Couldn't argue there.
