One of the few Marvel movies I can watch again & again (Cap. 1st Avenger being another). I love the bullet train fight, I love the opening Canadian bear & bar stuff, I love Logan in Japan, The Jean visitations, the post-funeral street chase w/ ninjas, the self surgery scene was amazing, & the Yukio sword action is just so much fun. I even love the X-Men airport ending.

"How did you know there was a pool down there?"

"I didn't."
Me too... But not as an outsider. Wolverine is a Ronin, he doesn't look like one but he's as japanese as the rest...But in the film, he was like an outsider canadian encountring japanese life for the first time... these words in the film best described it; wolverine said ''Samurai sword hold by two hands....'' just before taking down silver samurai like he learned that just new... I was like WTF... this guy supposed to know bushido and japan like the back of his hand... WTF lol

i think he could have been really cool to be honest, i got pretty excited when i saw that armor at the funeral. a dark / realistic samurai maybe with ehanced agility and work in his sword somehow... i dunno, could have been awesome imo. i wasnt feeling the wannabe iron monger

My top 5:

1. X-Men
2. Logan
3. X2
4. First Class
5. The Wolverine

The rest is either mediocre or abysmal.

I hated Logan. Just didn’t like the tone or direction of the movie. I loved Wolverine Origins though...awesome intro scene and music. Yes, some cheesy effects and weird Deadpool but still enjoyed it more than anything else other than X-men 1 and 2 and First Class.
Was really hoping after First Class they had direction but nope....

Best ones

1 - X2 - in the time was considered the best superhero movie to date, sadly underrated today

2 - Logan - this is how was suposed to be a Wolvs movie, I just don´t like the last part of the movie, but until X23 start to talk, was amazing

3 - X1 - let´s be honest, this movie have one of the BEST introductions I ever see, all the way starting with a child Magneto, Rogue and then Prof X and Magneto older, the Wolvs introduction too, all great

4 - DoFP - love this movie in the first time I watched, but with time I don´t know, I think all the plot with the new cast was weak

Ok to forgetables

5. 1st Class - overestimated, in the time everyone was worry about it because the marketing was making looks like trash, then with low expectations everyone enjoy, but no, weak enemies, terrible choice of mutants, horrible Mystique plot, just the Magneto and Xavier was good.

6. Deadpool - I don´t like Deadpool as character, so I found the movie fun, just this

7. Wolverine - great expectations, and a deception, this descrives well

Trash ones

8. Deadpool 2 - well bellow the first

9. Last Stand - just a trash phoenix movie

10. Dark Phoenix - a trash phoenix movie with the new cast

11. Origins - how do not make a Wolvs movie

12. Apocalypse - unwatchable, one of the worst ----s I ever see in a superhero movie

Some points:

- The original cast is unbeaten, stellar
- I hate Lawrence´s Mystique drama queen
- The original Mystique was gorgeous, far better
- The original Magneto and Prof X was much more deep and imponent
- I´m not a fan of Deadpool
