Re: The official Franchise Ranker (X-Men, The Mummy!) X-Men- 7
X2- 9
X3- 0
Average- 5.3
The Mummy- 6.5
The Mummy Returns- 5
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor- 2
Average- 4.5
EDIT: I changed X3 to a zero. For me, a 0 movie really has to be something special and after putting more thought into it I find X3 to be truly awful on every level, and even worse when compared to the first two. I hate that movie.

Re: The official Franchise Ranker (X-Men, The Mummy!) I'm genuinely curious -- if X-Men's an 8, and X-Men 3's a 9, what exactly does X2 do so differently to be worthy of a 1?

Re: The official Franchise Ranker (X-Men, The Mummy!) X3 told an involving and complete story? There are many words to describe X3, but "involving" and "complete" aren't two of them.

I felt like having a little visual representation after a year or so of being just a name.

Re: The official Franchise Ranker (X-Men, The Mummy!) First off, I don't go back to my reviews and transcribe my grade to this thread, I base my rating here on my current impression of the series as a whole and grade the films relative to each other. And secondly - - have I taught you nothing about the Patented Bradley Witherberry Grading System® (PBWGS) after all these years?!? It is calculated on what I call the "Triple Eye System" - - an idiosyncratic, inflationary, and impressionistic basis. I gave a more complete explanation in the review thread for the classic comedy film Beerfest... Bradley Witherberry wrote: Zingaling wrote: 5 out of 5 is not even that good when you think about it. He's given an 11 out of 5, I think, so 5 out of 5 would be the equivalent of a C or C-, even though he's usually enthusiastic about it. Remember, 11 out of 5 was the grade I gave 2001: A Space Odyssey, which sits at the very peak of my lifetime top ten list... Though I hardly find it necessary to explain my advanced grading system to those who cannot appreciate it, I will deign to attempt to briefly communicate it's essence to you primary graders. 5 out of 5 is not equivalent to a C, it is just the start of my expanded A scale, instead, my lower numbers are fairly equivalent to your common grading systems: 1 out of 5 = F 2 out of 5 = D 3 out of 5 = C 4 out of 5 = B 5 out of 5 = A 6 out of 5 and up are increasing degrees of what you would call an "A+" - I love having some range to express my enjoyment of movies that I find particularly outstanding (...and how many times have I seen people here rate movies "A+++++", etc. - let ye who are without sin cast the first stone...). So, anyone who can't handle the Patented Bradley Witherberry Grading System (PBWGS), please remain incarcerated in your ABCDF prison - your words only inspire pity in me...
