X-Men: A Series Review

As of last night I have concluded my long-awaited finale of the X-Men series, well all of the movies that are out anyway. As a whole, the series was extremely cheesy for me. I think this is due to the fact that the main bulk of the movies were made in the 2000's, which we all want to forget. My favorite movie out of all of them would have to be probably have to be the first one. We learn the backstory of Rogue and Wolverine, who are my favorite characters of the series. It is also easy to watch because it's the first one in the series, where in X-Men: Days of Future Past and The Wolverine, you have to deal with going back in time, new characters, and a whole new setting.
Then again it has been a really long time since I've watched X-Men, X2, and X-Men: The Last Stand. I stopped watching the series for a while because it couldn't be found, but that's off topic. I like the first three movies because it solely revolves around the X-Men, aka Jean, Wolverine, Scott, Professor X, Rogue, Magneto, etc. It was all simple good (X-Men) vs. evil (Magneto and his goons). But with Wolverine they started adding layers upon layers and you need to know the context of it all, and with not having seen the foundation of the movies in so long I was incredibly confused.
X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Days of Future Past all deal with the young Magneto and Professor X. Days of Future Past straight up confused me to bits because I didn't even remember or know half of the characters in it and the fact that it mainly follows Mystic and Wolverine around didn't help all that much. Then at the end, I was thrown for even more of a loop when Logan/Wolverine woke up the X-Mansion, a place that hadn't been featured in a long time, and Charles somehow knows that Logan went in the past and changed the future/past. The thing about that movie that bugged me the most was that the whole thing revolved around Mystic and they didn't tell us that in the first three movies. Plus when they didn't explain how Jean was still alive, I just got even more confused.
Overall the series was good, if you like cheesy and confusing. Something I do look forward to is X-Men: Apocalypse, where I will probably get more confused because there will be even more characters and even more setting.
