The film critic Roger Ebert gave the films mostly positive reviews, but criticized that overall too many mutants would appear in the films. The mutants' abilities are varied, but poorly coordinated. This would make it difficult to achieve a balanced representation of the various skills within a film.

The first two X-Men films received praise for their cerebral tone. Especially in X-Men 2 , director Bryan Singer succeeds in giving each character a character-defining moment and manages to incorporate massive quotable scenes and staged a convincing finale towards the end. In 2006, the leading British film magazine Empire named X-Men 2 the best comic book adaptation of all time. When Singer left the series after the second part due to scheduling clashes in order to be able to shoot Superman Returns , many criticized his successor Brett Ratner. Colin Colvert of the daily Star Tribune said, for example, that Singer's sensitivity to discrimination against social outsiders made the first two X-Men films surprisingly resonant, even for non-comic fans. Singer juggles between several characters and has a special focus on a deliberate and coherent narrative flow, while the characters under Ratner are "flat" and the plot is "unimaginative" . Ranter deviates from the basic tone of the previous films and focuses too much on wanting to deliver a "spectacle" . The film critic James Berardinelli, however, thinks that X-Men: The Last Stand, while not as "tight" or "satisfactory" as X-Men 2 , is better "constructed" and "more accessible" than the first X-Men film from 2000. Singer's third X-Men production, X-Men: The Future Is Past , received critical acclaim. Alonso Duralde from TheWrap noted that Singer was the guarantee that the X-Men films could follow the current hype about comic book adaptations without having to direct the films according to the scheme .

IGN's Richard George praised the portrayals of Wolverine, Professor X, Magneto, Jean Gray, Storm, William Stryker, Mystique, Beast and Nightcrawler, but criticized the large cast and the resulting limited screen time for younger characters like Rogue, Iceman, Pyro and Kitty Pryde, who are " adjective-less teenagers " and was also disappointed with Cyclops' characterization. Sam Raimi said he was a fan of the series and especially highlighted the Singer films.

Effects on comic genre

Critics see the success of the first X-Men film as a modernization of the comic book genre. Richard George of IGN thinks that X-Men paved the way for comic book adaptations such as Spider-Man , Fantastic Four , V for Vendetta and Superman Returns, which appeared in the following years . Chris Hewitt of Empire Magazine sees X-Men as a catalyst for films based on characters from Marvel Comics: “Singer's 2000 film is the catalyst for everything that came after it, good or bad. Without him, the Marvel Studios would not exist today ”(“ Singer's 2000 movie is the catalyst for everything that's come since, good and bad. Without it, there's no Marvel Studios ”). Comic book writer Mark Millar stated that the first X-Men film " revolutionized " superhero cinema .

Continuity of the X-Men films

• In the film X-Men it is mentioned that Wolverine's actual mutation is the enormous self-healing powers and that his claws were implanted afterwards. In X-Men Origins: Wolverine one follows the approach that he had bone claws before the adamantium procedure.
• In X-Men Origins: Wolverine , Wolverine and Sabretooth have an emotional bond: they are brothers. In the first X-Men movie, Sabretooth reflects a completely different character, having different skills and a different relationship with Wolverine.
• Wolverine learns in the film X-Men from Professor X that he and Magneto built the Cerebro, which is in the school. In X-Men: First Choice , Hank McCoy builds the Cerebro before he meets Magneto and Professor X.
• In X-Men 2 , Dr. See Hank McCoy. Although the film is set many years after the events of X-Men: First Decision , in this version the young McCoy has not yet been turned into the beast by a failed self-experiment. In X-Men: Future is Past , however, this is explained with a temporarily mutation-suppressing serum developed by McCoy.
• Professor X tells in the film X-Men that he and Magneto met when he was 17. At the first meeting of the two characters in X-Men: First decision , however, these are much older.
• In X-Men: The Last Stand , a flashback shows how Professor X and Magneto went to see young Jean Gray. Professor X was not yet in a wheelchair at the time, although X-Men: First Decision , at the end of which Professor X is paralyzed, is located earlier. Furthermore, at the end of X-Men: First decision, the paths of Magneto and Professor X separate, so that they would hardly go to Jean Gray as mutual friends.
• Likewise, Professor X can still walk at the end of X-Men Origins: Wolverine .
• In the first three X-Men parts, Mystique has a distorted voice when seen in her true form. However, in X-Men: First Decision and the films that follow, she speaks in a normal, human voice.
• Moira is in X-Men: First Decision, a woman around 30 years old. In the epilogue of X-Men: The Last Resistance , which takes place around 40-50 years later, Moira makes a brief appearance again, but is still a woman of around 30 to 40 years old.
• Emma Frost is held captive in X-Men Origins: Wolverine by Col. William Stryker and is portrayed much younger than in X-Men: First Decision , although X-Men Origins: Wolverine was in 1979 at the time of the Three Mile Island reactor accident and thus 17 years later as X-Men: First decision plays. Their abilities are also represented significantly differently in X-Men Origins: Wolverine .
• In X-Men: The Last Stand , Magneto loses his mutant powers. Shortly before the end you can still see how he manages to move a metal chess piece slightly. The return of his powers is shown in X-Men: Future is not past .
• In X-Men: The Last Stand , Professor X is killed by Jean Gray. The post-credit scene then shows his twin brother waking up from a coma. In Wolverine: The Warrior's Way, the post-credit scene shows Wolverine being received by Professor X at the airport and commenting on it in amazement. In X-Men: The Future Is Past , the return of Professor X is not discussed further.
• In Wolverine: Way of the Warrior , Wolverine's Adamantium claws are severed and his bony (see X-Men Origins: Wolverine ) grow back. In X-Men: Future is Past , which takes place after Wolverine: Way of the Warrior , he has his metal claws again.
• The backstory of Deadpool in the film of the same name differs significantly from that in X-Men Origins: Wolverine . This error is addressed in the post-credit scene of Deadpool 2 , where Deadpool travels through time and kills his version from X-Men Origins: Wolverine in order to put the timelines back in order.

The series is scheduled to air on FX Network in February 2017, and will also include eight episodes in one season worldwide in 125 countries that same month. The executive producers include Lauren Shuler Donner, Simon Kinberg and Bryan Singer. Singer said the series should build on future X-Men films. Hellfire was originally to be developed by Fox Broadcasting Company and produced by 20th Century Fox Television and Marvel Television, and written by Evan Katz and Manny Coto . But when Katz and Coto left the project in January 2016 to concentrate more on work on 24: Legacy , development of the series was stopped in July 2016. Instead, it was announced on the same day that they wanted to develop an X-Men series that is about a couple of parents who are fleeing the government underground with their mutant children .
