First Class was great. After two TERRIBLE movies, Fox turned things around. It got very good reviews and was generally very well-received by fans.

Agreed. Jackman's Wolverine is the only time I've ever personally found Wolverine enjoyable as a character (Outside of when he gets beat up by Molly Hayes.)

X2 was a great movie on it's own, and while I haven't seen it in a few years, people forget that X1 was the best comic movie ever made for a long while. It and Blade showed Hollywood that if they treat comic movies seriously and with respect, then they will work, and people will want to see them.
It paved the way for Spiderman, for Ironman, for Batman Begins. Basically, it's the father of the modern age of comic adaptations.
It's one thing to not like it in it's own right, but it did it something right, and it also broke Marvels terrible track record for movies.
X-Men has had three movies, one spinoff, and one prequel, and only two of those were truely terrible (The spinoff, and 2. And most franchises usually have a horiible time with the third film and spinoffs). That's not exactly a trainwreck.
