X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
The X-Men movies have largely been great – a notion reflected by the fact that they are the fourth highest-grossing comic book franchise behind the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Batman movies and the Spider-Man movies – but X-Men Origins: Wolverine certainly wasn’t a good representation of that fact.
It was an awful movie with arguably the single worst depiction of a comic book character in comic book movie history – that character being the inexplicably silenced version of Deadpool (though we can all look forward to that being somewhat rectified next year).
It’s really served no purpose in the X-Men franchise, as it hasn’t particularly affected any other movie and, as such, works as nothing more than a standalone mess.
It more than doubled its budget at the box office, though – it is, after all, an X-Men movie – but it didn’t go down very well with critics at all.
