Films from the Phantom Zone: Failed & Forgotten Comic Book Movies

Tackling our next big series, we're breaking up 20th Century Fox's X-Men in groups: we'll do X-Men 1-3, the Wolverine films, and the prequels all separately. X-Men (2000) might just be the film that ushered in the modern era of superhero movies! It's a major milestone in cinema, so it's appropriate for it to be a 1-year milestone for Films from the Phantom Zone! X-Men stars Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, and Sirs Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen!
Trigger Warning: On Keep or Cancel , we're discussing director Brian Singer, known pedophile and alleged rapist. Because of the no-brainer decision, we also discuss the separation of art and artist.
X-Men (2000) is available on Disney+, in the Marvel Legacy section.
