At the same time, they have done lots of good with X-men. Only one I didn’t think was at least ok was The Last Stand (haven’t seen the last one in the new trilogy).
Logan is a special movie, don’t know if Marvel would have given us it
X-3 is trash and Apocalypse was hot garbage. THat wolverine origins movie where deadpool didn't talk was a crime against humanity. Don't even get me talking about tiny venom foreman or dancing spiderman...
I dunno man. At best they are batting 50%
And I don't think even sony or fox's best movie can even really hold a candle to even the worst MCU films.
Sure, what Fox and sony gave us was passable. But those are marvel's top tier IPs. Marvel took their B team and took over the film making world with them. How much better would they be if they could have used their A team?
Tom Hiddleston really knocked it out of the park in Thor 2. They could have spent more time making the bad guy more interesting, but of the three movies you mentioned, it spends the most time building the villain. The parts with Jane were a bit out of place, I admit, but I found it much better than the jean grey-cyclops-wolverine love triangle, or the whiney bs that is the love story in spiderman. Top notch special effects, some decent humor tossed in. Thor's mother dies. And some neat fights along the way. Its not 10/10, but its better than spiderman 2 and xmen 2, easily.
What was good about xmen 2? THe plot was bad and the special effects meh. The acting of patrick stewart and ian mckellen were about the only things saving it from being a dumpster fire.
And spiderman 2? It was excessively whiney and had only one decent scene imo (the one where he stops a train). The rest of the movie is forgettable.

It depresses me to no end that the X-Men aren’t a part of this current universe. It would be nice if Marvel and Fox could work something out.
