WERE THE XMEN MOVIES ACTUALLY GOOD? PART...

ALEX
About this episode

One of the marks of the ’00s was the advent of Comic Book Films and the rise of the superhero genre in a big way. While Wesley Snipes “Blade” pioneered and opened the door.

The X-Men Movies made an imprint in Pop Culture and Cinema History. These movies catapulted people like Hugh Jackman to international fame and he went on play Wolverine for over a decade. And these films across 13 films they were able to generate over 6 Billion Dollars at the Box Office!

I am always one for nostalgia, and I have been thinking lately, it’s been 2 decades since the first Xmen Movie premiered and it got me thinking.. Were the X-Men Movies actually any good?

That's What we dive into for today's episode! Hope you enjoy!
