Every Single X-Men Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

9. X-Men: The Last Stand

The Last Stand gets a lot of hate, but it's absolutely nowhere near as bad as people seem to remember. The trouble, of course, is that you think of Vinnie Jones saying he's the Juggernaut, b*tch and every ounce of goodwill ends up evaporating pretty swiftly.

When Bryan Singer left, Matthew Vaughn stepped in initially and he might have made a good X-Men movie, but by the time Brett Ratner came on board, the promise was never quite lived up to. And because it wasn't X2, it was critically mauled in the same sort of way Spider-Man 3 was because it fundamentally wasn't Spider-Man 2.

The film is basically just a series of great ideas cobbled together in mostly poor fashion. Sir Ian McKellen is great as Magneto, Famke Janssen is good as Dark Phoenix (and a lot better than Sophie Turner) and there are a couple of astonishing set pieces, but none of the attempts to make it a good blockbuster seem to have landed as well as they might have.
