The success rated for the X-men franchise has been 2 out of 4 if you count Origins: Wolverine. The first two films were smart, action-filled, political, and emotional, and then Brett Ratner raped the franchise. Alright, everybody has to admit that despite how awful it was compared to the first two films, The Last Stand was pretty enjoyable. Then our favorite character (Logan) was ruined by revealing how he really came to be, in an extremely boring fashion.
Now it looks like we may actually get an amazing X-men film, since Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass) has taken the reigns of the series. As much as I love Kick-Ass and want a sequel to that, the box office gods don't seem to be favoring such an occurence. So now I completely believe that X-men: First Class will be a return to form for the series, seeing as it's being penned by two of my favorite Fringe writers, Zack Stentz and Ashley Miller. The film is currently set for release in June of next year, an already awesome summer for movies (ex. Harry Potter 7, Hangover 2, Super 8, etc.)
