User blog comment:ProfessorKilroy/X-Men Films: Are they any good?/@comment-23863-20111016035725

I'll agree that X-Men TLS was pretty bad considering the killing off of major characters and being a pathetic attempt of adapting the Dark Phoenix saga, along with the Gifted storyline from Astonishing X-Men. However I'll admit that X-Men First Class which was actually a reboot (due to ignoring the continuity of the prior films) it was excellent. Also X2 did a decent job of adapting the Graphic Novel God Loves Man Kills for the plot. Least it was cool that they re-adapted William Stryker into a military colonel instead of a religious priest. Only reason why I would agree with it is that it keeps controversial religious aspects out of the films (ie. treating all mutants that they are satanic as what happened in the book).
