X2 was my favourite comic book movie for the longest time. Loved that movie, and Cox as William Stryker remains one of the best performances from a movie villain. To me there is not much that doesn't work in that movie, the action scenes are remarkable (Nightcrawler and Wolverine's are the standouts). The "coming out" scene from Bobby Drake is also memorable.
I suppose the only drawback to all those movies is Bryan Singer's involvement. Even when they showed the reel at the end of Deadpool/Wolverine it was kind of icky seeing Singer's face. Sort of like watching anything with Kevin Spacey or produced by Weinstein. They all were involved with amazing movies, yet we don't want their works acknowledged.
