Everything you need to know to understand Deadpool & Wolverine if you haven’t seen any MCU or X-Men movies
It’s probably a tad unrealistic for you to watch all 33 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies leading up to this one, which doesn’t even account for the 13 X-Men movies. I’ll try to help you take a shortcut. I’ll put these in order of what I think are the most crucial stories needed to…

RunPee X-Men Hub
Marvel is big…very big. Big enough that we’ve had to put together a variety of mini-hubs. Ant-Man, Black Panther, Guardians Of The Galaxy, and Spider-Man have all got hubs of their own and now we add to that list…X-Men! In this case we are only looking at the films…maybe more will be added later.…

Ranking the X-Men Movies
Superhero ensemble films owe a huge debt to the X-Men franchise. Without the thoughtful world-building, frequent levity, and sparkling dialog characterizing the best of the X-Men films, we’d have no Marvel Cinematic Universe. No Avengers, no Endgame, no Iron Man!…just somber Batmen parading by in rubber suits. X-Men blew jaded audiences away, until the franchise…

X-Men Movies That Were Never Made
Dark Phoenix hits DVD and Blu-ray on September 17. It’s the final adventure for this cast of characters. And it’s the next-to-last X-Men film we’ll see for a while, assuming The New Mutants eventually gets released. There have been a LOT of X-Men movies, ranging from fair to awesome. And then there are those…

Fox movie assets are now owned by Disney. That means the X-Men can, at some point, be wrapped into the MCU with the Avengers.…

X-Men: Apocalypse (movie review)
—
Grade: B It’s always a struggle to rate and review movies like this. I’m going to take the easy way out and judge it against the other X-Men movies. “Apocalypse” is way better than “The Last Stand”–universally believed to be the worst in the franchise. But, I don’t think it was quite as good as…

X-Men: Days of Future Past – movie review
—
Grade: A Brian Singer (director), and the writers, set the bar sky high in this film. It’s going to be a chore to top this in the scheduled X-Men sequel, due May 27, 2016. The acting was spectacular. All the main characters are reprising roles that they have already performed with aplomb. However, I think Hugh…

Movie review : X-Men First Class
—
[ No spoilers ] Going into the theater this morning I had high expectations for X-Men First Class. It has an 88% at RottenTomatoes.com which is very high for a movie of this genre. But after seeing the movie I’m surprised that it’s not much, much, higher. In a word it was awesome. In two…
