To be honest, it was clear that Dark Phoenix would be another failure from Marvel, just because the main role playing by Sophie Turner instead of a good actress, or to tell more precisely that Sophie Turner unsuccessfully tried to showTo be honest, it was clear that Dark Phoenix would be another failure from Marvel, just because the main role playing by Sophie Turner instead of a good actress, or to tell more precisely that Sophie Turner unsuccessfully tried to show something and no one knows what is it. Unfortunately, bosses of film companies and TV channels idiots (mostly) and absolutely don't understand what a quality product means, they have the task to get as much profit as possible, and for it, they think that them need to invite famous faces, but not good professional actors. So here it turns out not a movie, but sh*t with dubious special effects.

With regard to Dark Phoenix:

- The main minus is Sophie Turner. How could she be invited after the Game of Thrones and X-Men: Apocalypse ? With the same success, the role of Jean Gray could be played by mannequin from clothes store no one would know the difference.

P.S. The New Mutants will be epic fail, for the same reasons as the failure of Dark Phoenix and X-Men: Apocalypse - famous faces not good professional actors. This is especially true of Maisie Williams, which "actress" as Sophie Turner.

Bob Iger, Christine McCarthy, Alan F. Horn, Alan Bergman, Emma Watts, Cathleen Taff, Asad Ayaz, Isaac Perlmutter, Dan Buckley, Joe Quesada, Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso what are you f* doing?

One of the worst movies by Marvel, and absolutely worst along with X-Men: Apocalypse to all of X-Men series. Of the thousands of actresses Marvel/Disney have chosen dummy Sophie Turner.

As soon as I saw the credits rolling I booked it out of the theatre and was the first one out. This movie is so slow in its pacing to the point I nearly fell asleep a bunch of times. This is a superhero movie and part of one of the greatest Marvel superhero teams and there is nothing to keep somebody’s attention for longer than 2 seconds. This movie is one-hour and fifty-four-minutes long but it feels like a three-hour-long film. This is due to the boring dialogue and a slow-paced story that never really picked up at any point. Even the action scenes were boring to watch. This movie has one of the most iconic comic book person ever and they just waste her. There is like three or four action scenes in this film and every single one was just as boring as the last one. The characters for some reason changed so that they were nothing like what they were actually supposed to be. This can be mainly seen with Charles, played by McAvoy, and Nightcrawler, played by Kodi Smit-McPhee. They both had major character changes that just didn’t suit their characters at all. Also, I rewatched a clip from X-Men Apocalypse and Nightcrawler had a downgrade on his makeup effects. The makeup looks nothing like what it did in the last movie. The special effects in this film were just hideous and I couldn’t stand to look at it. This film had a budget of $200 million dollars and I think all of it went to get back all of the actors because they all probably had better movies to film. Lots of scenes in this film just ended randomly. The part where I thought the film was going to end ended up not being the ending and went on for like 2 more pointless minutes. In the end, Dark Phoenix just isn’t a good film for anybody. I give Dark Phoenix a 3.5/10. Expand

Not the worst movie I've ever seen. But at a loss of words when it comes to say anything good about it. The acting wasn't bad, but at times was flat. The story as it relates to the comics was way off. Overall, sirens your money elsewhere.

It's so earthbound in perspective that even the cardboard baddie aliens were made to look entirely human. A few sparkly effects later, some more maudlin introspection and then we wrap up leaving everyone wondering what the point was. A gross injustice to the source material. Super disappointing. Expand

There is only one kinda fun action scene in the third act but it quickly becomes boring again. There's no feeling of real stakes and I blame the villains because, despite all the exposition thrown at the audience, their plan is not well explained and you are given little sense of how powerful they are or how scared you should be. Character motivations are slim or nonexistent and the cast seems entirely checked out. Overall, I cannot recommend strongly enough that you go see something else. Dark Phoenix is not the worst X-men movie but its definitely bottom 3 and should be avoided at all costs. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was shallow, there was a forced intention to make it bigger than it really was, as for example the "solar flare" or whatever thing that destroys planets... but somehow stopped nearby earth, just in time for it to be absorbed by Grey... really?. The enemies were also shallow, I mean they were some kind of aliens, very stereotypical aliens if you ask, with the ability of acquiring human forms... I mean like thats not been used in a hundred movies and tv programs before, and that posed no real opposition, and the final one, just vanished because it could not absorb all the power it wanted... Sorry it had some action moments like when the military was after Jean, and all of that, but that has nothing nothing of special... (sigh). Hope they didnt make the trailer so appealing as to have me running to watch the movie. Expand

Simon Kinberg wrote a great film called Sherlock Holmes that was so well done. So how the hell is this possible? Well when I heard about the reshoots and the delays, I knew there was problems coming ahead.

The writing and effects are the worst aspects of the film. The cast, Michael Fassbender, James MacAvoy, and Jennifer Lawrence are outstanding; trying to make a god awful movie some how work. I am frustrated with Jessica Chastain and how they wanted her to be. There are moments in which this could work, but they are afraid to commit and use cliches to finish the story. But there is a comic book. There's a reason why this film exists, so use it.

Overall, just don't watch this movie.

Dragged to see this loathsome wreck by my nephew who hasn't yet developed critical-thinking skills, I found myself desiring to undergo a colonoscopy; at least I'm unconscious for that.

Which may be a great win-win future business-venture: combine colonoscopies for reluctant adults with obnoxiously-woke SJW superhero movies targeting viewers with IQ's less than 50. And that's not to insult people actually born with developmental deficiencies; THEY can't help the way they are. No, I'm talking about allegedly functioning-members of society who intentionally switch off their brains because social-media orders them to. Seriously, I read some of the positive "10 out of 10!!! SQUEEEEE!" reviews. Geez, get a economy-sized drool cup for all that saliva, Skippy.

This movie was directed by Simon Kinberg who wrote the screenplay for 'X-Men Last Stand'. You know, that 3rd movie that was supposed to be directed by the awesome Matt Vaughn but instead went to the hack Brett Ratner? That should set off Defcon-1 Red Alerts to your wallet. AVOID THIS MOVIE AT ALL COSTS...

Sophie Turner: boring. Just because she was on Game of Thrones doesn't justify her yet in a leading role. She needs to seriously pad her resume with at least 5 years of movie roles before doing something this big.

Jennifer Lawrence: jarringly-obnoxious & phoning-it-in. Is she worried that fellow up-and-coming Brie Larson is invading JLaw's man-hating-feminist turf? Too bad James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender were probably forced at legal-gunpoint. Seriously, they have this constant "God-I-wish-I-was-anywhere-else-but-here" looks on their faces throughout this dreck.

And Quicksilver? He gets sidelined for the most of the movie? He was the BEST thing about 'Days of Future Past'.

Jessica Chastain: competing with Brie Larson for Wooden-Plank-Oscar of 2019.

Everybody else: Forgettable. Bland. Invisible.

Honestly, if this is the new Hollywood standard, with ENDLESS nagging political lectures to all you audience rubes about how wise they are, I say, "Sure. Go for broke." And I mean that LITERALLY. Hollywood, I suggest that all superhero movies from now on feature EVERY.SINGLE.MINORITY with a political axe to grind as Gary & Mary Sues: perfect in every way, marching across the screen with all your propaganda packaged as eternal wisdom. And make sure that EVERY moustache-twirling villain from now until Doomsday features a white/conservative/Christian/Alpha male.

I'm sure that will reap gi-normous financial windfalls. As for me, I'm done with movies. A waste of time & money.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Horrible. One of the worst "superhero" movies ever. Sophie Turner is a pretty bad actor and should not be a lead.

This movie was boring and feels rushed, incomplete, predictable in places and poorly constructed.

The costumes were very bad and the CGI looks very cheap.

Dont waste your money on this very films-student-style and loaded with tropes movie.

I was honestly hoping they would end with a good send off considering it's the last Fox Studios X-Men movie. It was full of cheesy one liners and terrible direction. I was ready to leave the movie within 45 minutes of starting it.

Now that the Mouse is in charge we can expect nothing good ever again. Sad.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay now I'm home I've had a minute to reflect on this film and I do have a lot of thoughts. Mostly very angry ones. But there is some good points which I shall go through first because there wasn't many. Firstly Sophie Turner despite her slightly off American accent gives a damn good performance as Jean. The emotional scenes aren't her strongest but when she's going full psycho I am in like so there with her. Jessica Chastain elevates her dull, non-existent character into some levels of villain but that's through pure muscle on her part because god knows how she managed that.

Now the steaming pile of **** that was the rest. Firstly this would have benefited about 2000000% from a film between Apocalypse and this; I know it couldn't have happened but it severely needed it. The characters you are meant to care about like Cyclops and Storm are just sort of there. Big recognisable characters that blend into the background because there is no substance. You can't connect to characters that are part of such a huge ensemble without a lot of work and this film didn't do it.
The characters you do know like Raven and Charles are just rough approximations of characters we've seen before. Charles felt like a different person. Erik feels like there is absolute no character growth until his U-Turn in the third act. Raven well, there's nothing to say there. Hank actually feels a bit like a character with an arc but not much else besides that.
The alien dudes were all irrelevant. They were there purely to give the X-Men some random hench-people to beat up on that train. Sure they seemed menacing for like a split second and then they're all dead anyway so whatever I guess. Jessica Chastain's leader is menacing but like why are you there? While I love Jessica she had no reason to be in this film. Her guidance, if you can call it that lasts all of two seconds for Jean to almost kill Erik, torture Charles for a bit then oops gone never mind. So pointless.
The whole third act is basically a waste of time because the fight is pointless. Jean wipes out everyone in her way disintegrates Jessica and becomes the Phoenix Force. Cool. Do I care? Not really I don't know this Jean, so oh well. Bottom line Last Stand is actually better. RIP Fox X-Men.

This is a beautiful movie otherwise ruined by toxic femininity. Toxic femininity has been taking over the film industry and other aspects of our lives for years now. It needs to be condemned and rejected.

Dark Phoenix Kinberg, at a certain point, could be forgiven. I can see him pitching the idea enthusiastically and even getting the equal reaction back. He is, first and foremost, a writer. And he, the writer and director, Simon Kinberg, therefore, surely knows on what frame to finish the film. That very piece of note flying about, the whole point gets checked off metaphorically, in those last moments. But we are getting ahead of ourselves and we are exaggerating. For beyond that very frame- surprisingly for a movie of this genre- I didn't buy a singly word of the film. It is the probably of the shortest runtime and yet the most time-consuming one. The previous chapter, Apocalypse, did make me think that maybe we've had too much of superhero films. But I resisted. Clearing out my doubts, this time, the franchise is back with another irrelevant chapter; after Days Of Future Past, everything seems like a desperate pursuit for big box office collection. I would say, that this is the olden days in rom-com genre where we are suffocated by CGI explosions, even the summer schedule at the theatre is congested. And, this is the Kate Hudson rom-com that no one asked for. In terms of comic book films, it is equivalent to Clooney's version of Batman, or current DC; pick your choice. Tomfoolery is an unintentional by product; obviously, and if not, than this is gold. The promising concept was James McAvoy's track, that too, only in the beginning, where you see him as a fully fledged egoistic leader, which later on, is crushed on by super super elements that weighs zero credibility in the narration. The only question that this so called sci-fi film asks, is why did they name it Dark Phoenix? It is not likely to be, but if another chapter does comes up, I'd recommend X-Men Mistake.. oh no, Dark Mistake- it gives that intense feeling. Expand

This is so sad. What could have been one of the best X-men movies ended being the worst.

What could have been one of the best X-men movies ended being the worst. You have the most powerful story in your hands, you can create fear, destruction and reach so much climax paths with the Dark Phoenix and you do nothing, you reach nothing... This writer/director didn't make a tiny choice on the right path. It is one of the most bland and anticlimax movies released lately. He reached nothing with this movie, and he had on his hands the most powerful being on the Marvel Universe, the Darkest story and character, the best comic story... and he achieved nothing, absolutely nothing with it. I hope this man loses his job because he destroyed and ashamed a whole franchise. The only reason I didn't give a Zero score is because Sophie Turner surprised me... She was the only thing I thought could've destroyed the movie before watching it, but in the end she was the only one that actually saved the movie a bit. Her Jean Grey is actually very good, she showed so much potential that the director/writer actually wasted. Because Sophie Turner really sent chills and threat feelings. She was threatening and volatile; and very powerful on Dark Phoenix scenes. If she got more content from the horrible writer and director I am sure she would blow the roof as Dark Phoenix, but she just didn't have enough material to work on. Expand

You know what's the most unfortunate thing about Phoenix? Not only it has a fantastic opening sequence,but the score by Hans Zimmer (the only thing I was looking forward in this movie) is not enough to save this big failure of a picture.
But let's talk positive for a second…
As said,Hans Zimmer's score is magical and brooding at the same time,almost returning to its Interstellar (2014) roots,although it's devoid of Zimmer's signature " Loudness Factor". Yeah,that Factor appears for a split-second,but it's still not enough to carry that label.
Aside from a bit of Sophie Turner,the cast is fine,but McAvoy and Fassbender steal it all.
The concept and the small scale structure Simon Kinberg (Director,Writer and Producer...Yikes) gives to the presentation I can see working with a more talented set of people.
And the s...We're sorry. If you want to proceed with the good stuff,please. Spend another million dollars.
Unfortunately, this wasn't the hot mess I wanted to laugh at because of its Production Value.
To start off,some parts of Sophie Turner I really liked,but the rest of it felt like she should've been in a S** Tape,as some of her movements and facial expressions are either weird or hilarious to look at.
There seems to be no sign of Writing and coherent Action,as everyone is just throwing punches or saying plain words. Yeah,little bits of story are here and there (Jean Grey's internal crisis with her powers,Magneto taking care of new mutants in the island with no name [I suppose it's Genosha,but the writer never acknowledges it]) but they're never used to their full potential,yet,I can see a better movie somewhere in here…
Also,where was Quicksilver this entire time?
And I still laugh at the X-Women line,AKA the greatest movie line in HISTORY!!!
Overall,luckily it's not Jurassic World 2 bad,since there are many pluses in here than JW,but worse than Dumbo and HellBoy (2019) it is.
It's a hopeless,wasted,disgusting and dramatic Production Hell movie that fails to justify its existence,other than being "the grand finale in the X-Men Franchise" .
Hell,even the studio lost faith in the movie some months ago with the whole Disney/Fox merger,so why bother spending your precious money?

What I found to be remarkable with this movie is how bad it is right from the beginning. It is unconvincing at every step of the way. The actors don't have a clue what to do and the pandering to current politics is pathetic.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oh, man! Never thought an X-Men movie would be so f**king awful. .
.
Good : The ensemble cast. In particular James McAvoy. He really tries hard to save this movie. Some really short sequences were fine, just because it had Fassbender and McAvoy. And, that's all about that. .
.
Bad : HOLY F**KING S**T! I hate this movie. I F**KING HATE THIS MOVIE!!! Who the f**k greenlit this piece of s**t?!! The story doesn't make sense - if you can say it has a story. Everything is basically a f**king rehash of everything that was wrong with X-Men: The Last Stand. I mean what the f**k?! I have no real problem with the First Class cast not aging, I can simply enjoy the story, ignoring how they look. The major problem I had with this f**king s**t is that it f**king tries to retcon Days of Future Past and Logan, staying in the timeline set by DoFP. What's the f**king logic there? I mean, what was Simon Kinberg smoking when he was writing this monkey a$$ of a movie? DoFP was supposed to retcon the two s**t films - Last Stand and Origins, right? Why am I calling them s**t? They are f**king Citizen Kane and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly compared to this f**kery! This rat's a$$ of a film kills Raven, retconning the first two films! Alright, I can take that bulls**t. Then, it shows Professor X retiring, with Beast taking his position! What?!!! How does that hold up DoFP? That's a gigantic and the most unforgivable plothole that it generates. The opening sequence is something that a 10 year old can write, 200x better that is. Magneto is too forced, lacks a motive and changes his mind really quickly. He was introduced well with first three films, and had a really great arc in First Class. After that, there wasn't much to him. I didn't hate what he was in Apocalypse and DoFP, but this one is just bonkers! I, sort of, remember watching some storylines on Phoenix in the animated series, and it was better than this dumba$$ery. And that was a cartoon and obviously was cartoonish, but way less cartoonish than this blant f**kery! There are a lot of scenes taken from Last Stand and dumbed down at least 2 million times. Raven is human - Raven dies. There's a house to house action scene, which makes me like Last Stand even more. Phoenix gets killed - Phoenix gets pseudo-killed. Whole bunch of new mutants who serve zero purpose. I can go on and on. The dialogues are f**king cringe-worthy! "Since all the women are helping the men out here, better change the name to X-Women" or some d**k sauce of a line - that's in the movie man. Unbelievable! Also, all Beast does is give First Class references. Guess what, motherf**ker? First Class references don't make your s**thead of a film as great as First Class! Cyclops is a f**king dummy. His f bomb was a bomb that emitted laughing gas. Is there anything left? Nope. There's it, people. I summarized the entire monkey d**k of a movie. .
.
Conclusion : F**k this movie!!!! If you're an X-Men fan, stay away from this suck-a$$ery of a cringe-fest. .
.
Rating. .
.
Score : absolute 0/10
Grade : F**k this movie

“You're always sorry, Charles. And there's always a speech. But nobody cares!”

Yikes.

‘Dark Phoenix’ ends with a flicker rather than a bang. It’s quite depressing that a franchise that basically breathed life into the superhero genre that we know today sadly stopped caring.

Despite everybody desperately holding on for hope that ‘Dark Phoenix’ would be a solid exist, I was the complete opposite - the evidence being in the development stages. Some have argued that “People have already made up their mind about this film before it’s been released, they want to hate it”, mm...no. This movie has been pushed back three times, a first time director Simon Kinberg, the test screenings was called “disastrous”, and the lack of interest the cast had towards the project.

Even the clips realised for the movie either looked atrocious or absolute cringe, especially the Mystique “Change the Name to X-Women” scene. Like, you’re addressing this to a guy (Professor X) who lost the use of his legs by saving the world, lost his friend to differing opinions, uses his fortune to construct a school for helping mutants, and creates a team to help protect humanity.

Anywhere, ‘Dark Phoenix’ is far from being worst in the series, but it’s the most dull and forgettable entry in the series, which is much worst in my point of view.

James Mcavoy and Michael Fassbender being the saving grace isn’t anything new, yet needs repeating with every entry despite their characters conflict being repetitive. Sophie Turner is fine as Jean Grey, but Turner truly shines whenever Jean is in shock and confused. Jennifer Lawrence, on the other hand, easily the weakest link as it’s never been so transparent for any actor to not give a damn. She was really bad. The Mystique make-up looks so bad and cheap for some reason. I’m guessing Lawrence didn’t want to go through the torture make-up process...well, tough sh*t. You’re being paid billions to star in these movies and the make-up being accurate to the character. If you don’t like it then leave. Jessica Chastain is fantastic as s̶k̶r̶u̶l̶l̶ Grace Randolph.

It seems like the dialogue really took a nosedive with this franchise. I mean every line being delivered by the cast felt stiff and stilted.

Also with this movie being set in 1992, it’s confusing to know that in 8 years time James Mcavoy will look like Patrick Stewart, and Michael Fassbender will look like Ian Mckellen. And don’t jump into the defense with the whole “set in the not too distant future” at the beginning of the first ‘X-men’ movie, because with the timeline being so f**ked up, it still doesn’t make it clear where anything is set. I find it extra confusing with this movie set 30 years after the events of ‘First Class’, yet the characters have barely aged during the intervening years. They could’ve easily put aging make-up on the actors to show a passing of time. I mean, sure it will look uncanny, but it’s better than not trying.

The visual effects looked questionable at best. The final battle lacked any suspense since I didn’t care about any of the characters. The cinematography and Simon Kinberg directing wasn’t anything special. I’ve seen the movie a few days ago and nothing is sticking with me in terms of memory. I can’t think of anything worst than being forgettable.

I find it alarming how a superhero movie coming out in 2019 can feel so outdated.

Overall rating: Mr Feige will like to see you now.

And it certainly doesn't help that Apocalypse did such a terrible job at setting up this film because that was yet another poorly written X-Men film.

Dark Phoenix should just be ignored, Pretend it doesn't exist. You are better off. And no, I don't blame the cast for it failing. You can only do so much with an awful script.

Every character has nothing to do in thisThe worst X-Men movie ever. Say whatever you want about Last Stand and Origins Wolverine, at least those had things going on. In this movie, nothing happens, it was just boring and painful to watch. Every character has nothing to do in this movie, no character has any believable motivation or personality (let's not even talk about the villain, how could they make a villain worse than Malekith or Steppenwolf, seriously, I had to look at the credits to even know its name). Horrible dialogue full of clichés. The editing is choppy and the visual effects look so bad at many points. And the makeup...Ignoring Mystique's obviously lazy makeup work, everyone else looks bad, like Nightcrawler and Beast. As I said noone has anything to do: Mystique and Quicksilver barely appear in the movie, and any other character that is not Magneto, Beast or Cyclops does literally nothing. The acting was so bad. Every actor is just there for a paycheck, noone seem interested in what they were doing (With Sophie Turner and, maybe Michael Fassbender being exceptions because they...tried. Not saying their performance was good but they tried). Once again critizing the screenplay: It is so confusing that for most of the movie I didn't know what was going on, or why did this character do this or anything.

The worst part of all is that this is the last X-Men movie (Yeah, New Mutants is coming, but I'm refering to the main series, also, I feel that New Mutants will be bad too). It is sooooo anticlimatic, it's the complete opposite of Endgame: Instead of being a great conclusion, with a great battle, an emotional death of an important character, with tons of fanservice, we get nothing of that. This is the worst X-Men movie and one of the worst I've seen in the year. It's a complete trainwreck. It doesn't get a 0 because at least I could watch it, a 0 is reserved for those movies that I can't even watch in a single viewing.

Quem escreve esses roteiros???

Muito decepcionante. Eu não sei como uma franquia pode se perder tanto assim, de verdade.

O roteiro é pobre. Não temos um vilão cativante, cujo a justificativa para o que está fazendo é nula. Tipo, literalmente nula. Não há quase nenhum background, nada que possamos nos basear ou minimamente entender. Fora as frases genéricas de "sua emoção lhe faz fraca", sim, sim. Falou o E.T super racional que quer aniquilar a humanidade e nem sabe o porque.

Quanto as atuações, são medianas [Com um roteiro desses, sair do mediano é pedir muito do ator, que trabalha na artificialidade], com um claro destaque ao Michael Fassbender e James Mcavoy, cujo são fantásticos de qualquer jeito. É muito triste ver atores talentosíssimos sendo desperdiçados dessa maneira, mas ok.

Os efeitos especiais são excelentes e fazem jus ao orçamento, mas como quase todo filme de herói tem isso de sobra, não devia se esperar menos. A OST está presente no filme, de maneira que é sim notável, mas não faz a diferença que poderia [dando mais peso a cena ou algo do tipo].

Como conclusão: me parece que esse filme quer mais mostrar seus efeitos especiais que uma historia de verdade. O roteiro trabalha na artificialidade e subestima o publico. É uma pena que esse universo de filmes acabe assim, sendo que podia ser bem melhor.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Probably nothing is more important to mention about this movie than the fact that it’s becoming increasingly obvious that Sophie Turner starred in this role in order to slap Conan O’Brien in the face.

The entire marketing campaign leading up to its wide release would suggest that Dark Phoenix is a trainwreck, a remake of a really bad movie made by the SAME DIRECTOR 13 years ago that no one was expecting or asking for, that got shoved back four months from a quiet, sleepy release date in November of 2018 just before Oscar season with no real competitors because of a need for reshoots on account of the script was bad and then because it apparently so generic that it copied entire scenes from other superhero movies put out at the same time by its parent company (there’s another insane element to the delay of this film’s release where James Cameron kicked it into the jaws of summer in order to protect his project Alita that I find so cruel it’s almost funny). Director Kinberg admits that the end of Dark Phoenix looked a whole lot like Captain America: Winter Soldier in the way that the mutants had were pitted against one another, but also like Captain Marvel in the way the space scenes (and in the maybe clever future connection to the Marvel universe, but equally just lazily written shapeshifting Skrull-esque villains), but also a lot like Infinity Wars with her mini Snappening, which just leads you to wonder if they were conscious of how much their film looked like it had stayed up for an all-nighter and then just cribbed off of every Marvel movie made in the last eighteen months, why didn’t they change it?

The Hollywood Reporter also talks about how this film was never meant to be a summer blockbuster, but doesn’t mention it in the form of autopsy or eulogy for the film that could have been. It talks about Dark Phoenix as a film with humbler stakes, smaller scope, a corrective to the disaster of Apocalypse. Friend says that Apocalypse clumsily tried to phoenix Jean Gray in the final boss fight, which everyone promptly forgets in order to make this movie even possible. Matthew Vaughn, who’s been making the rounds for some of his future projects while the **** of criticism for this film really ramps up, pulled back the curtain a little on the reboot in order to show what could have been, his alternate story boarding of the franchise, his desire to recast Wolverine for a younger actor, quaint notes for an innocent time before X-Men had crossed the point of no return.

I can see the merits of both sides on the film. Much, much smarter people embrace the (un)canny legacy of the Dark Phoenix storyline and its retelling as an icon of female empowerment. At the same time, the ensemble cast feels at once past due and also distractingly new. Turner is only in her second film in the franchise, whereas Lawrence, Fassbender, and MacAvoy have been in three or four, right? The effect is one of the unrequited familiarity of a distant relative comforting the orphaned child of the recently deceased at a funeral. Jean and Cyclops have a budding romance, but we’ve only really seen their chemistry over the span of about fifteen or twenty minutes before he–rudely–asks her to “Come back to me” like a wayward dog. Mystique gamely chides Prof X, “the women are always saving the men around here,” which leads one to momentarily wonder if that’s actually true or just what an X-Woman is supposed to say in 2019 to get a rise out of the Sad Puppies who are going to **** about this movie no matter what because it dares to tell a story from a woman’s perspective.

Most of my issues with the film are a lot pettier than the content... There’s a weirdly large amount of dialogue devoted to whether or not someone can read your mind: “I can’t read her mind now,” “turn up the power on my mind reading machine,” “she’s blocking my ability to read her mind,” “I didn’t need to read your mind,” “you’re not the only one who can read minds,” you get the point. And for a movie whose original intentions were to dramatize teenage angst about being queer, the sexuality of these stories is pretty hetero. Practically every man and woman is paired off. At times it seems like maybe there are too few women to fight over, so dudes magnanimously share one instead. Never thought something could make you nostalgic for anything Bryan Singer has ever done, but… no still no.

Watching this with my dad was a bittersweet end of an era, but not altogether unpleasant.... It’s strange to think about the random steps that end up defining the movies that make up your childhood, so I know that not everyone will enjoy this one, but if you’re of a certain age, and you remember your dad taking you to those first few films with Hallie Berry with all the cheesy special effects, it might bring some solace to return to this film to say goodbye.

The storytelling here was just so incredibly un-imaginitive that the movie and the actors couldn't help but give up. It's pretty clear in the first ten minutes of the film that everyone involved gave up.

It's fine to deviate from the source
The storytelling here was just so incredibly un-imaginitive that the movie and the actors couldn't help but give up. It's pretty clear in the first ten minutes of the film that everyone involved gave up.

It's fine to deviate from the source material as long as you're taking it in interesting new directions. Here they deviated from the source material in the most cliched way possible and the result was it just never grabbed the audience's interest to begin with. None of the actors were going to be able save it. Nothing was new and everyone was bored; The audience, the actors, the director, bored bored bored.

And I hate to say it but Sophie Turner just can't carry a movie herself. She was dreadful. She is better suited as a character actor in a fairly narrow range.

Extremely upset, I went to watch this movie with my expectation up there, and it comes out extremely disappointed.
The movie is just another generic movie, not much new, the actors are disinterested, Simon Kimberg didn't know what to do

Bottom line: The movie is bad, the script is rotten, the direction doesn't exist. Let's pretend this movie just doesn't exist

Это просто позорнейший финал великой серии. Я не думал что можно сделать эпичный сюжет хуже апокалипсиса, но нет, из этого фильма убрали даже остатки логики. Нет смысла ни в одном диалоге. Как актеры подписались на такую залуппу не понимаю.Это просто позорнейший финал великой серии.

I hope things will turn better in future parts or I will have to start ignoring work with her involvement. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is atrocious and is by far the worst x-men movie. The McAvoy/Fassbender x-men movies were my favourites and I enjoyed all of them with the exception of this one. The plot, dialogue, and acting were all bad and it felt like the movie was developed from a fanfic and not a very good one at that.

Professor X is meant to be one of the greatest minds however this movie totally destroyed his character by making us believe that he thought suppressing Jean's memories and actually lying to her was good for her mental wellbeing. This is just a plot contrivance to make us believe how easy it would be for her to lose control and become dark phoenix.

Another contrivance was when Raven died. It was so obvious and so poorly done that I felt absolutely nothing from the scene. Actually all the characters were bland and cardboard cutouts that I did not care one whit if anyone died. They did this so that Hank and Magneto would bond together and get revenge on Jean for her death. Then all of a sudden, Magneto changes his mind and decides not to kill her.

Jean, Magneto, and Storm are meant to be some of the most powerful mutants alive and yet they were easily subdued by what looked like a human swat team? That makes no sense. That means less powerful mutants like Cyclops (who is actually incredibly powerful) seem to be equivalent to a rent-a-cop.

The villains are even more bland as they have no backstory whatever beyond wanting to take over earth to repopulate their species. We have some great actors/actresses in this film (McAvoy, Fassbender, Lawrence, Hoult, Chastain) however they all appear average at best which I think is more to do with the directing than their acting chops.

The Dark Phoenix storyline is actually really hard to do well simply because she's so powerful and unlike Superman, she doesn't have a kryptonite for villains to take advantage of. She makes the most powerful mutants like Magneto and Storm look weak in comparison. I would've thought after the mistake in the first trilogy with Hugh Jackman and that awful Dark Phoenix storyline they would've stayed away.

This movie ruined a great franchise and I wished I never watched it. I'll just pretend this movie never happened.

This movie felt really boring to me though. It also further rewrote the series' canon by killing Mystique so not only is The Last Stand non-canon every since Days of Future Past, but also the previous films X-Men and X-2. I mean, Days of Future Past was still exciting, but it didn't really set up the timeline for good sequels and the sequels such as this movie weren't too good. I hate time travel. Anyway I may review the other movies at some point. Overall, this movie didn't satisfy me. Expand

I feel like Bryan Singer was directing this film it would been better but sadly he couldn’t and I understand why they have to remove him but they could have got Matthew Vaughn to direct and being a co writer then this movie would definitely been save also I was really disappointed when they replaced John Ottman and got Hans Zimmer don’t get me wrong Hans Zimmer is a amazing composer but x men is definitely John Ottman specialty like I definitely don’t understand why they replace John Ottman he should be the one who composer the x men franchises.

This was a boring, bland and forgettable X-men movie. The plot was boring and lifeless, the acting was just okay, and visually the movie looks cheap and occasionally overproduced. This made me lose all interest in Xmen as a franchise.

A laughably bad entry in the X-Men franchise. Really outdid themselves. By far the worst in the series.
