EVERY X-Men Movie & TV Show Ranked Worst To Best

17. X-Men Origins: Wolverine

There can be only one worst and there's one stand-out choice.

Despite X-Men Origins: Wolverine eventually leading to the exceptional Logan, there is a lot the film does wrong. This movie was supposed to be the beginning of an X-Men Origins series of films but was so poorly received by fans and critics that the project was scrapped. Instead, Fox opted to reboot the franchise with X-Men: First Class acting as their revamped version of what was X-Men Origins: Magneto.

While this is definitively the WORST, there are a few moments that need to be praised. Firstly, Hugh Jackman's performance is stellar as always even with his terrible CGI claws. Second, the entire opening sequence showing Wolverine's journey through various wars. And finally, Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson.

No, not Deadpool OBVIOUSLY, but he shines in the introductory battle with Team X storming a government building looking for adamantium. Reynolds' performance was so convincing as the Merc with a Mouth (before all the silliness) that it eventually led to the star leading the push for the Deadpool movie.

I could go on to list the many faults with this movie but the film itself is so infamous at this stage that it would just feel cruel.
