Do you mean X2 and First Class are pushing 9 out of 10? You wrote Last Stand twice.
The big issue I have with First Class is that it felt like such a giant rush job. That's a storyline that could have been played over 2-3 movies, yet somehow Ratner tried to jam the entire Phoenix/cure storyline in a 104 minute movie which ruined it for me. That and he killed off too many characters at random (wtf happened to Cyclops?), and poorly introduced others (Juggernaut and Angel).
Last Stand put that franchise back a few years, which I guess was a good thing in hindsight since we only got First Class because of that.
