All 14 X-Men Movies, Ranked


Hollywood hasn’t always done right by the X-Men.

Making their comics debut in 1963, those mutants wouldn’t hit the big screen until 2000, when Usual Suspects director Bryan Singer teamed up with screenwriter David Hayter to bring the story of Professor X, Magneto, Jean Grey, and Wolverine to moviegoers. Forever remembered as the blockbuster that took the hottest, most charismatic actor on the planet in Oscar Isaac and buried him under CGI and blue makeup, Apocalypse isn’t without its charms; this remains an incredible cast, albeit one that may be more a credit to long-term contracts than to dedication on the part of the assembled. Generally considered one of the very best X-Men movies — a film that honored Wolverine’s iconic standing by placing him in a serious, R-rated setting with the grandeur and scope of a Western — Logan allowed Hugh Jackman the chance to give a proper send-off to the character who helped make him a star.
