All 10 ‘X-Men’ Movies Ranked, From Worst to Best

Director Bryan Singer has one of the strongest — and weakest — entries in the mutant movie franchise

TheWrap’s film critic Alonso Duralde ranks all the “X-Men” movies and their spin-offs from worst to best.

In last place is “Wolverine: Origins.” It’s incumbent on prequels to have enough vitality to keep us from noticing that we’re heading to a pre-determined destination, but this listlessly written ordeal — loaded with terrible effects and horrible misuse of future franchise savior Deadpool — ranks as the hottest mess of the mutant adventures.

Then there’s the new “X-Men: Apocalypse.” There are many sins we can forgive in a superhero epic, but dullness is not among them. Director Bryan Singer, usually adept at creating these movies, shockingly drops the ball here, with a who-cares world-domination plot from the titular villain (played by an unrecognizable Oscar Isaac) and more characters than he apparently knows how to handle.

One film that fared better was “X-Men: Days of Future Past.” After a lengthy absence, director Bryan Singer returned to the mutants, juggling multiple timelines and characters in a saga wherein Wolverine must return to the groovy Paris of the early 1970s to change history and stop the deadly Sentinels from being created to capture and destroy all mutants. This one’s almost as overcrowded as “Apocalypse,” but at least the characters still get some breathing room.
