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.… Expand

Without going into spoilers, I can't really say much except that the action was great from sequence to sequence, Quicksilver was actually pretty good when he was being a full-on hero without being confined in the X-Mansion, and the third act of the film put a smile on my face, finally. Everyone in the third act had their moment and their time to really shine with their power and it paid off then. That doesn't make up for the other two-thirds of the film that were just abysmal. Professor Xavier was horrible in this and the writers clearly wrote him off polar opposite of what he is supposed to be in the X-Men movies. The acting, in general, wasn't bad at all and I admire the cast for doing their best with the script they were given. But everything else just fell so flat for me. Due to the production issues, multiple delays and a Disney/Fox Acquisition, 'Dark Phoenix' just fails to fly up to expectations.… Expand

Erik is coward's coward, crybaby and pathetic wimp. The president accepts the mutants, and Erik hides in a bidonville built of Lego toy bricks with a possy of dirty rednecks. Senile teenager Peter is moody. Raven is Mockingjay again. Even the actors seem uninterested in their roles. Fassbender plays like a cheap melodrama. Probably, he is training, waiting for the death of his career. McAvoy just does not play. Turner can not play. Kinberg can not shoot. Action and CGI is poor. The costumes are terrible. All is awful, sad trash.… Expand

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

The 'X-Men' franchise comes to a disappointing and forgettable end with another attempt at looking into the iconic "Phoenix" saga, which we saw was attempted back with 'X-Men: The Last Stand' (2006), and for many, it can't get as bad or worseThe 'X-Men' franchise comes to a disappointing and forgettable end with another attempt at looking into the iconic "Phoenix" saga, which we saw was attempted back with 'X-Men: The Last Stand' (2006), and for many, it can't get as bad or worse than that. You will now look at "The Last Stand" as fondly as we look at 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' (2014), because "Dark Phoenix" is a bland, boring and as I said, forgettable entry into this once invincible franchise. A good and talented cast goes to waste with a flat screenplay, some horrible pacing and moments of unintentional hilarity. The movie starts off where we see Jean Grey as a child, for some reason, struggling to cope with adapting to her powers, everything around her is too loud and she seems to react by using her telepathy powers to lift any object and thrash them towards others where they could potentially be hurt or killed. Professor Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) decides to take her in and possibly teach her how to concentrate and use her powers for better use instead of harm and death. We see that the group of "X-Men", including; Mystique (a rather bored looking Jennifer Lawrence), Beast (also bored Nicholas Hoult), Quicksilver (Evan Peters, actually trying), Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee), Storm (Alexandra Shipp), Cyclops (Tye Sheridan) and Jean (Sophie Turner). Something goes wrong during their space mission (when does anything ever go right in a superhero movie space mission?) and it seems that Jean has encountered a strange power source which has made her more dangerous than before. The rest of the gang try to get a better understanding of this, but are unable to figure out what is wrong. It also seems that Xavier finally got the respect from the public he's always wanted, with the public always cheering for mutants to save the day and sort out many problems. Jessica Chastain is in this movie. Why? Not sure, she's in it, and she's wasted, that's all you need to know. Magneto (Michael Fassbender) returns as well, and even Fassbender's performance can't save himself from drowning in a dull movie. Not only written by Simon Kinberg (who also wrote "The Last Stand", but redeemed himself writing "Days of Future Past") takes his directorial feature film debut here. It's not a bad effort, the special effects look nice, and he seems to handle it okay, but one can't help but wonder if it was handled by someone with big-budget blockbuster experience and we would get a much better film. The film just feels extremely underwhelming, and the middle portion of it is frustratingly slow-paced and rather boring. It doesn't feel like a big finale or a big send-off. They should have left that to either 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' (2014) or 'Logan' (2017), this falls flat. It's the kind of film you'd put on in the background while doing some work, and it's the kind of film you'll forget you even saw. You'll look at your movie calendar in shock and say; "Oh, 'Shazam!' and 'Avengers: Endgame' were released the same year as this?", it's not worth wasting a rather short 1 hour and 52 minutes on, even the movie itself wants to be over and done with. There is no post-credits scene, just get up and leave, or don't see it at all.… Expand

I've been defending this series for ages as nearly all the films are great, but I find it hard to look for any big positives in the film. There were some terrible one-liners in the film but apart from them, the acting was mostly good, but apart from that and maybe the first act, the film was very flat. There weren't any bits where I thought "Omg this is the worst f#cking thing" but there weren't any moments where I was like "This is amazing". There was just so much, and yet so little going on at the same time.
I could go on for hours about my back and forth opinion on the film, but if I could try and sum it up in a few words it, they would be anticlimactic, rushed and lacking backstory and motive. Still, definitely not the worst I've seen.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The acting is great, this probably has the best Scott/Jean dynamic in all of the X-Men films, and there are some interesting ideas in the film. In the hands of the right writer, this might have been a good film. If parts of it hadn't needed to be rewritten and reshot, this might have been a good film. However, what we ended up with is a bunch of scenes that do tell a story, but not a very deep one. And, hey, sometimes films don't have to be deep to be enjoyable. However, this movie is also trying to tackle some of the moral complexities of the Dark Phoenix Saga. Namely, should Jean, who has been possessed by this force, be held accountable for the events that take place. And there's no real debate about this in the movie. Some think she can be saved. Others want to kill her, until they suddenly don't. And the intent is that they're convinced to save her because of Charles' speech, and it would make sense if Charles had mentioned that Jean was possessed or that she accidentally killed Raven, except he doesn't do any of that. They listen to him because it's the Third Act and the writers need everyone to band together to fight the evil aliens that exist in this film. The X-Men are supposed to be the ones who want to protect all life, except in the Second Act where they have no problems with people becoming collateral damage. What Nightcrawler does in the Third Act completely flies in the face of the Nightcrawler character. And Jean's big hero moment basically involves mass genocide, which is ironic because in the Dark Phoenix Saga Jean was on trial for her life because she committed genocide. By the end of the film, I was numb. I honestly feel that this movie would've killed the franchise, had it not been for the fact that the franchise died when Disney bought Fox. This is such a disappointing end.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The finale of Dark Phoenix was directed by an unexpected person, Simon Kinberg, long time screenwriter and producer and this is his first time to direct an X-Men film. The rest of the 6 X-Men films were directed by Bryan Singer. However, this is the first time I saw a disappointing finale, even though this year I saw Avengers: Endgame as an epic finale. The performances were the best aspects in the movie, especially Sophie Turner. It’s really difficult to be this Phoenix character Jean Grey but this is not the first time that Jean Grey had lost control of her powers, we got X-Men: The Last Stand with Jean Grey played of Famke Janssen. I really don’t want to compare Turner with Janssen because they’re both excellent. The tons of other casts James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Tye Sheridan,… were great as well. I was disappointed with Mystique’s skin changing and I found out she hated her original skin. However, how the characters say or do things didn’t suit the scenes so much like they’re just tired of their roles since 2011. But then, there’s also Jessica Chastain which really made a coincidence to me if I thought about James McAvoy in IT: Chapter 2 (Bill and Beverly). LOL! Anyway, I didn’t feel that she should be in this movie, not even the demons somewhere. At first, I though Jean Grey was the main antagonist or just an antagonist like in X-Men: The Last Stand, but the was a protagonist. I didn’t even know her name in the movie because her role was just…forgettable! And there’s a scene where Nightcrawler got mad at the demons, I think he should say something like: I’m gonna kill you, MotherF****r. The plot was…not cool and kinda a bit convoluted or messed up because if you see the X-Men timeline, it’s messed up as well and really confusing, because of X-Men: Days of Future Past is the finale of the future and then X-Men: Apocalypse led us to the past when James McAvoy was gonna shave his head to look like Patrick Stewart or Michael Fassbender was gonna look like Ian McKellen. The script was also terrible, I didn’t even know who wrote it like how characters say didn’t match the story much but at least it’s not as bad as Fantf4stic which was almost the worst screenplay I had ever seen. In fact, Simon Kinberg directed this movie based on the Dark Phoenix Saga from the Marvel Comics and it turned out to be not the same. The soundtrack was scored by Hans Zimmer. It’s hard to say but he did good but the big problem was his cores did not suit the scenes added to the movie. It wasn’t that epic and I found it a waste of time to purchase it or download it on my MP3 Player and the 20th Century Fox Title was ….bland like other parts of the movie, I would rather hear the 20th Century Fox Title from X-Men: Days of Future Past and X-Men: Apocalypse. The biggest problem though was the title. That’s right, “Dark Phoenix”. Is this “Dark” Phoenix? No! This is not dark or deserved to be R-Rated (despite the blood), there’s Jessica Chastain and her demons to ruin the title. Jean Grey is a good guy and used her powers for good from the train sequence. Overall, this IS the finale of X-Men that we should say good bye to these characters (poor Tye Sheridan and Sophie Turner, just 2 movies) and it turned out to be a big failure. Yes, this movie is a disappointing finale but there’s also a new movie called “The New Mutants” and I bet it would be rated R like Logan, Deadpool 1 and 2 just because I saw the trailer which looked like a horror movie (it reminded me of Brightburn).

Dark Phoenix no es la mejor película de la saga, pero tampoco la peor. Absolutamente no es el fin tan merecido de una saga de 20 años, no obstante, si se intepretara como una aventura más de los X-Men, tendría una mejor calificación.
Su peorDark Phoenix no es la mejor película de la saga, pero tampoco la peor. Absolutamente no es el fin tan merecido de una saga de 20 años, no obstante, si se intepretara como una aventura más de los X-Men, tendría una mejor calificación.
Su peor enemigo es, otra vez, un guión que no parece querer terminar lo que comenzó con pie derecho. Si bien cada escena va construyéndose de manera específica y bien narrada, al final todo se siente muy contenido y no parece haber muchos momentos donde todo el drama explote. Mas, acierta al momento de hacer brillar a cada personaje en su debido momento; y esto se debe principalmente a las excelentes interpretaciones de un acertado cast.
El desalentador debut de Simon deja mucho que desear, pero no creo que se deba a principalmente su estilo o conocimiento para hacerlo, sino porque su guión no estaba bien hecho. Visualmente es excelente, con efectos especiales bien hechos y encuadres que reflejaban el gran entusiasmo que tenía Simon.
Quizá más tiempo de duración, sin la compra de Fox por Disney y el cambio repentino del final, la película habría gustado a todos y hubiera alcanzado la merecida gloria.
Sophie Turner tuvo razón cuando dijo que la película era un drama, más allá de ser una epica película de super héroes. Se concentra en que el espectador empaticé con los personajes, y durante muchísimos momentos lo logra.
Pero este justamente fue siempre el corazón de la saga: Interpretaciones excelentes de estupendos actores y actrices.… Expand

Don't be fooled by the bandwagon. Hans Zimmer's soundtrack is unforgettable and the whole movie us unbridled action from beginning to end.

The let down is how little the scope of the entity is worked and the action scenes seemed a bit clumsy.

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.
