Terrific movies, great stories, fleshed-out and compelling characters.
Most of all: character-driven.
The saga of the X-Men Movies is centered upon:
Logan/Wolverine
Charles Xavier/Professor X
Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto
Jean Grey/Phoenix
Raven Darkholme/Mystique
Hank McCoy/Beast
Scott Summers/Cyclops and Ororo Munroe/Storm are "used" as symbols and icons.
Lorna Dane/Polaris, John Proudstar/Thunderbird, Clarice Fong/Blink, David Haller/Legion and the New Mutants have been extensively developed through 2 series and 1 movie.
Contrary to the popular belief, it's a character-driven saga.
No jokes or comic reliefs. It's not Disney.

No jokes or comic relief? What do you call Quicksilver and Deadpool?

Only character-driven if it involves a popular character like Wolverine.

Quicksilver is fun.
Deadpool belongs to another universe.

Interdimensional counterparts. Deadpool 2 is set in 2018, not 1992.
Deadpool 1 & 2, as well as "Logan", are alternate universes.

That argument might mean something if it were the first and last time this franchise had gaping timeline errors. |

The continuity is clear. Ask me, try me. I will solve any doubt you get.

As simple as that, the X-MEN MOVIE/TV SAGA is based on very powerful, developed and fleshed out characters, which had been given great stories and story-arcs:
Wolverine
Professor X
Magneto
Jean Grey/Phoenix - the most pivotal character after Wolverine
Mystique
Beast
Legion
Polaris
Thunderbird
Cyclops and Storm are the icons of the X-Men, the living symbols of the team. However, Storm is a central character in X2 and X3, while Cyclops is a central character in Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix.
That's it. They are brilliant and bleak superhero movies. Masterpieces.
