DOFP is a good first time experience, and that's it. I just can't get into it a second time.
I tend to like X1 more than X2, but it ain't by much. It's mostly due to what a **** head Jackman was in it, which is more in tune with Logan's abrasive personality. I still think the whole cage fight to him cutting the shotgun in half is the best segment in the history of CBMs.
I still remember seeing him pop the claws out to the guys throat, and they made the snikt so deafening that it startled you in the theater.
X2 is damn good, and it's one of like five sequels that truly feels like it's in the same world as the previous film if that makes sense. I know **** Singer did both, but it's very hard to replicate the feel like that.
Yeah I get exactly what you're saying, I give X2 the edge just for the story and exactly that, feeling like it takes place in the same world as the first. They just expanded on everything better. The mansion attack is great (too bad they couldn't go full Logan at the time but it still holds up to this day) along with the opening scene with nightcrawler, just great stuff. I'm more of a Magneto fan as well, so that may be why I enjoy the 2nd a bit more. X2 is probably only bested for sequels probably by The Dark Knight. IMO
DOFP is one you definitely have to be in the mood for. Just like Logan, they are good films by I tend to doze off in the middle.
