A Definitive Ranking of All X-Men Movies
Updated : May 22, 2014 03:07 PM IST
X-Men Days of the Future Past is releasing in theatres this week. It's time to analyze, both, the future and past of this mutant franchise!
Let's begin by ranking the movies we've already seen!
1. X2: X-Men United (2003)
It’s hands down the best and most solid X-Men film till date. X2 took the impending war between mutants and humans to a whole other level! Despite all the action and special effects, it had an emotional core. Who can forget the climatic scene and the Jean-Scott-Logan love triangle!

2. X-Men First Class (2011)
First class, much like X2, focused on making us FEEL for these characters. A look back into the past - Erik and Charles’ friendship, establishment of the X-Men and what made this team of heroes split up? This was more than just a superhero film.

3. The Wolverine (2013)
The Wolverine was the apology we needed after the disaster that was Wolverine: Origins!It was the back-story a character like Wolverine deserved.

4. X-Men (2000)
X-Men was the start of a captivating franchise. Who knew the word mutant was cool before this film came around!? (We're speaking to those who haven't read the comics, duh)
5. X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)
The last film sucked. It lacked the depth that its predecessors had. The focus on mindless action and disappointing conclusion landed it on the 5th spot! Such is the curse of almost every film trilogy.

6. X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
Worst. X-Men. Film. Ever.
Our thoughts precisely!
Up next!
X-Men: Days of the Future Past (2014)
And boy, we can't wait for this one! All the X-Men, old and new, past and future, together!James McAvoy, Patrick Stewart, Michael Fassbender, Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman and Jennifer Lawrence in one film!
Possible sequels and spin-offs!

Deadpool
Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool from Wolverine:Origins was a joke. Another reason to delete that film from your memory. But poor Deadpool needs to be given a good reboot!

Merger with The Avengers
With Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver making appearances in both the franchises (played by different actors), can we expect a merger in the future?
