Fans of the X-Men are familiar with the evolution of the trilogy: X-Men was good, X2: X-Men United was terrific, and X-Men: The Last Stand just plain sucked.

What is it that makes a Brett Ratner film a Brett Ratner film? Unlike with other directors who've earned dicey critical reputations—Michael Bay, say, or Uwe Boll—the worst that can be said of Ratner is that he makes crassly populist movies, and that in interviews, he can be a bit of a blowhard. But while his work lacks subtlety, it’s hardly devoid of artistry. Ratner’s movies aren’t overly frenetic or gratuitously gross; the man knows his...
