Personally I still don't think they have made an xmen movie that does the franchise justice. While x1 and x2 were alright at best, first class was good and they managed to save the mess x3 was with days of future past while being a sequel to first class, got to give props to that, I still think the xmen franchise could be so much better.

Every time I watch an xmen movie somehow how it just doesn't literally look right. In my vision of how an xmen movie should be it would be closer to something like Watchmen, a dark gritty world that resembles ours but has its own feel to it.

I have to disagree here. There has always been some humor to the X-Men but it was never abundant. To me, Days of Futures Past was very dark and gritty. I mean hell, we watch Iceman, Sunspot, Warpath, Collosus and Blink all die twice. You see Icemans head popped off like an action figure...And Collosus is just casually ripped in half. 

They handled the future aspect well in DOFP good, but still there is something about the movies that makes it look a little campy, maybe its the sets they are on or the lighting. Something just feels off I got that feeling when I watched the first one 15 yrs ago and I still get it now.
