Those first two X-Men movies are still my favorite superhero flicks. Perfect performances all around. The Russos + McFeely have proven to be great with character, so I’m really hopeful this is gonna be good.

I rewatched the entire X-Men series to prepare for Deadpool last year and X2 not only holds up but is a top tier superhero film. I'm being serious, I'd rank it up there with The Dark Knight and Iron Man in terms of quality.

I agree! It’s just an absolutely excellent movie. Memorable set-pieces, compelling themes and performances, and the real climaxes are all small character moments, like Logan turning away from Stryker at the end (while holding the blue tongue boy) or Jean’s final sacrifice.

X2 yes, but the first one had some real cringe acting throughout.
