-DOFP (not just the best X movie but one of the best time travel films)
-X2 (b4 DOFP this was the absolute top)
-Logan (maybe this should be in front of X2? idk)
-X1 (1st half abit like XMen:Unbreakable. Bit old now but still the one that started it all)
-First Class (not a huge fan of it but its an undeniably solid movie & Fassbender is great)
-Apocalypse (everyone seems to hate it like X3/Origins but its actually a pretty decent epic Xmen movie)
-The Wolverine (not really a fan of this but would just seem wrong to put it after X3)
-X3 (its fun but kind of dumb..and coming after X1/2 that was kind of unforgivable)
-Dark Phoenix (had a eerie lowkey feel and not as bad as RT score but overall it didn't really measure up. maybe it will go up abit after abit of time/retrospect idk)
-Origins (not that bad but its just a thing that its considered the worst like Superman IV, B&R)

I don't think you can include the Deadpools as they are so different and like a meta commentary on XMen.. but would put DP2 ahead of DP1 and wouldn't know where to put them amongst the X movies

1) First Class. - Mostly because Fassbender and McAvoy are just so great in this. Magneto is given so much more depth. Like how this movie doesn't focus on Wolverine. Wolverine is basically the star of X1-3, DOFP and has 3 movies of his own. That's just too much. I didn't quite like the way they did Shaw, but Kevin Bacon did a great job.

2) Days of Future Past - Good time travel story, basically a bit of borrowing from Terminator. How can Kitty Pryde time travel people? Liked how they used Quicksilver. Peter Dinklage, excellent as always. I kind of thought that Magneto's takeover of Sentinels was a bit of a stretch at the end.

3) X3 - Criminally underrated. I don't know why it gets so much hate. Most of the problems here originate from X2. Phoenix is way too early. yeah but that was wrongly brought up in X2. It's way too early to use Phoenix. I really like Angel's storyline. Beast was way funny. Mutants fighting mutants on an epic scale. How it should be.

4) X1 - very good origin movie. Good action, mutant vs Mutant. So focused on Wolverine using Cyclops as a punching bag. Magneto's game changing idea was kind of lame.

5) X2- Overrated film. Too focused on Wolverine yet again. It's basically mutants fighting humans. yawn. Where are the sentinels? Why is it introducing Phoenix so early? Why is Cyclops and Prof X given almost no screen time? This is the X-men movie, not the Magneto and Wolverine movie.

6) Dark Phoenix - Wasted so much potential. A movie that should probably never have been made. There wasn't enough chemistry developed with Jean Gray. Whole scene into Space is just so rushed. Fassbender is square-holed into this movie. Aliens are lame. Would loved to have seen the Imperial Guard. They never properly showed the extent of her power. Magneto moves a bridge, she moves a helicopter. Poorly done movie.

7) Apocalypse - The worst of the X-men core movies. Just a silly movie. Im outta space.
