So its getting worse reviews than the Wolverine Origins movie Yeesh!
From the critics, yeah. Audience reviews are higher, for now.

As someone who grew up on the animated series, I wouldn't mind a Jubilee or Gambit origin story. My issue with the X-Men movies was always relying on the same people, where you have interesting characters who should have gotten a shot instead.

It's dropping as well.
Not a surprise, but this is tanking at the box office. It's on pace for a mid 30s opening weekend, which will probably take it to about $80-90M tops domestically, which will be well below every other Xmen film.
To put it into perspective, Xmen Apocalypse was considered a disappointment, and that still made $155M.
Sad to see such a lacklustre end to a franchise that has delivered something pretty good films.
The original Xmen movie was a great start to the series. X2 was a solid, solid sequel, unfortunately X3 was a train wreck. The rest were pretty good, minus Apocalypse, to which they massively screwed up on.
And of course there was Logan, the best Superhero movie ever made, alongside TDK.
In terms of X-Men movies: First Class is underrated thanks to Matthew Vaughn who is a tremendous director, loved Days Of The Future Past, X2 was pretty good, Logan was awesome, and The Wolverine was solidly decent. Not a fan of the first XMen (origin movies usually bother me with rare exceptions and the first Burton Batman for instance is not a traditional origin movie), X3 was dumb, Wolverine: Origins was boring, and I like both Deadpool movies but they don't have much replay value for me.
Curious if DP is the train wreck they say. Seeing it soon.
Saw a headline that read: Fox's 'Dark Phoenix' is the end of a mediocre era. Can Disney make Marvel's X-Men great again?
Seriously? A lot of MCU fanboys probably think the same thing too. Can't wait for Disney to turn the X-Men franchise into another set of campy films, which is the only thing they know how to do. Days of Future Past is better than anything Disney has done.
You're the least objective person on the board when it comes to Disney's MCU so...

This franchise is done.
I personally love Logan and Days of Future Past. I'll take them over the MCU stuff. 2 of my favourite comic book films ever. Have at me fanboys!
It's a shame because the Dark Phoenix story arc is really great in the comics.
