Bryan Singer directed X-Men in 2000 so picture, sixteen years later, audiences being tortured by Ben Affleck as Batman for over a decade and a half. That's what we have with Singer still in control of a vitally important part of the Marvel comic book universe. (Check out IMDB's X-Men Guide if you like ) 2003 brought us X2 with Brett Ratner taking over for #3.
As stated above, Brett Ratner replaced Singer as director for X Men The Last Stand (2006) and in the 2016 Apocalypse they have movie-goers leaving Return of the Jedi saying "the third movie in a series is always the worst" - a dig at Ratner, which brought audience applause.

Though this isn't the disaster that Batman vs Superman is, was and turned out to be, it's close to it thanks to the stiff Oscar Isaacs as the demon-whose-name-you-can't-remember. Darth Stephanie being so much more appealing, thank you Star Wars.
Matthew Vaughn directed the far superior 2011 X-Men First Class Singer returning in 2014 for X Men Days of Future Past.
(for those keeping a scorecard, James Mangold was director on 2013's The Wolverine
Gavin Hood directed 2009's X-Men Origins Wolverine)
The joking in the film about X-Men 3 is a little too programed, this film is down there with #3, despite the great acting from most of the cast. Oscar Isaac wearing a mask is a waste of talent, the intriguing 2015 film Ex-Machina a sort of futuristic Jackie Gleason The Honeymooners with Issac and Domhnall Gleeson (later of The Revnant) vying for the affections of...a robot.
As En Sabah Nur / Apocalypse (say that 3 times fast) Isaac doesn't fair as well...it's abysmal, the one character who drags down the film, think Ben Affleck as Batman.
