I keep seeing comments saying these movies were all trash. Spider-Man and especially Spider-Man 2 were praised by everyone at the time. Spider-Man 3 had a mixed reaction with some saying it was complete trash and others saying that if they had just left the rushed Venom story arc out of it, it wouldn't have been too bad..
X-Men was 'ok'.. it wasn't great but it got the ball rolling for X2. X2 was at one time recognized as the best comic book film to date. X-Men: The Last Stand is obviously garbage but that's to be expected with a hack like Ratner at the helm.
For the most part there was more good than bad in these franchises.
I get it that most would like the rights to these characters to go back to Marvel and I do agree with that but first ask yourself this question. How many truly classic movies has Marvel Studios made? Avengers, Iron Man... what else? I think Captain America: Winter Solider will be the third classic, I have high hopes but right now their batting average isn't that much better than Fox or Sony. They too need to step up their game. Movies like Thor and Hulk or even the first Captain America have left the majority of viewers feeling that nothing is at stake and they are soulless ventures.
