Tough choice for me:I liked them all,even the third one.It's big flaw was taking on more than it could handle--too many characters,too much plot. But I'll go with the first one.It rekindled my X-love.

One thing that surprised me about X3 was Kelsey Grammer as the Beast. I thought it would be embarrassing to watch him play that role, but he did a great job. In fact ....that's about all I remember about the movie.

X2 is my favorite comic book movie, period.

Missed this the first time round, but I think I still would have gone with First Class. I did like the first ones, I even didn't mind the 3rd as much as some, but I LOVED First Class and it came as a surprise, all the 60s stuff probably helped with me.
I was saying to Ian last night after Days of Future Past, I am so much more emotionally involved in the past characters I don't know if that's cause they are a bit sillier and have less posing, or if it's because they are telling stories I haven't seen different versions of or if they are just better at writing those characters in an emotionally involving way, but I really didn't give a crap any time they shot forward to the future, I just thought man put the cool people back on, I wanna see them!

It's easier, I think, to connect to the earlier characters and stories because the stories were less universe-shattering. The more and more it becomes about X-Men, once again, saving the universe—instead of Hank and Bobby go on a double-date and an anti-mutant rally breaks out—the less and less people really can relate.
The movies have gotten too big and the characters too small.
But I recall having liked X-Men 1, 2, and First Class. The 1960s' nostalgia really worked for me in First Class, which really is why I want to see a 1940s Batman, a 1940s SHAZAM/Captain Marvel, a 1960s Fantastic Four, etc.

DOFP
The best of everything with Logan as the spoon that stirs the pot, but not as the main ingredient.

Still too hard to choose between X2 and DoFP... a second viewing on Tuesday will help me decide.

First Class is way better than X-Men.
