The films, in release order

X-Men 2000Bryan Singer’s uneven superhero film is worth the trouble for Hugh Jackman. Wolverine’s bond with Rogue gives it feeling, but a crowded story leaves much of the cast waiting for something to do.Fi1m 67 - 2
X2 2003Bryan Singer’s superhero sequel gives its crowded cast room to be interesting, and its opening action is sharply judged. The overextended climax is a nuisance, but the performances make this an easy recommendation.Fi1m 80 - 3
X-Men: The Last Stand 2006Brett Ratner’s crowded sequel has enough energy to remain watchable, and Famke Janssen gives its spectacle some feeling. But hurried character scenes and clumsy writing leave a capable cast fighting for space.Fi1m 54 - 4
X-Men: Days of Future Past 2014Bryan Singer’s crowded superhero film stays entertaining because its actors make the arguments matter. The character history can be cumbersome, but the playful action gives the solemn business of saving the future a welcome lift.Fi1m 78 - 5
X-Men: Apocalypse 2016Bryan Singer gives a likeable young cast and Michael Fassbender too little room in an overfilled superhero sequel. A few playful sequences help, but the villain and the plotting make 144 minutes feel generous.Fi1m 48
