I'm not sure what crack viewers are smoking, or perhaps they're just easily manipulated by the media, but I found this X-Men film to be one of the best in the whole series. Second actually only to X-Men 2: X-Men United-and I hated X-Men Apocalypse. The plot is familiar of course, and there's definitely some cringe worthy lines (and no Hugh Jackman is a severe handicap) but IT IS A SUPERB retelling of the Dark Phoenix saga. Don't be fooled by the bandwagon. Hans Zimmer's soundtrack is unforgettable and the whole movie us unbridled action from beginning to end. With the final 40 minutes or so, complete balls-to-the-wall mutant splendor. My second favorite film of 2019 after John Wick 3 of course!!!… Expand

Dark Phoenix is actually not a bad movie.

I'm giving it a 10, because I'm a fan of the x-men and been a fan of the franchise for a few time now, but technically speaking would give 85 in 100, the visual effects, God, they were stunning, the soundtrack good, no major plot holes that ruin the movie soo bad, the movie it's rather entertaining, it should be a little longer to explain some things but it really doesn't matter. The final battle gave me some chills and I kind fell for Jean character, unlike the critics said. It's not endgame, not near, but for the franchise it delivers what's promised, not the worst of the x-men movies but not the best too. Just watch it, don't judge it before you see it and don't expect the best movie ever, just rather a good movie, entertaining and with good soundtrack.… Expand

This was not a bad film. Not the best either, had a great time watching the last of the X-Men films. Its sad to close the book on this beloved franchise but everything has to come to an end.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dark Phoenix movie is great!!! The visual effects are outstanding. I loved the villain, Vuk, who is the leader of the alien race D'Bari whose planet got destroyed by the Dark Phoenix in the comics(Jean Grey swallowed their sun's energy which resulted in their solar system being destroyed). Dark Phoenix is very different from another superhero movies as well as from the Last Stand where they also tried to make a movie about the Dark Phoenix. It has its unique style of a superhero movie that I really liked. Now it's my favorite marvel movie. This movie focuses on Jean Grey/Dark Phoenix, I'm glad I saw a movie about her because she is my favorite marvel character.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went into it with the attitude of "I'll take it for what it is as a comic book fan just to say I watched it". I was extremely entertained which turned into excitement. It seems people are projecting their expectations onto the characters (which is ironic considering the core motivation of the movie). There are those that are confused by the time-line. There happens to be another marvel movie recently released that made trillions but still confused people with the time-line. No, the dialogue was not painful. From the beginning, Raven sounded awkward when talking to others. But her character disagreed with the direction the x-men were going and, inside, she questioned the things they were doing. It was meant to be awkward (how do you feel talking to a mother-in-law you don't agree with?). There are those that said magneto could have shown more development. He completely changed who he was, came to peace with it, and does basically what Charles does at the permission of the US government. I'm perplexed at those complaints. What got me excited was how true-to-the-comics the characters became. ProfessorX showed his villain side. If anything, this movie held back on what Charles did in his selfish pursuit. Beast went full beast mode clawing people up. He shreaded people in the comics. Nightcrawler FINALLY started using his tail to kill poeple. Thats his signature move. Transporting people to their deaths then transporting away. It was beautiful. Seeing the Phoenix develop into her final form at the end was perfect. Anyway, it was very enjoyable and I'll watch again.… Expand

It is about a community of mortals, gifted/cursed with superpowers, who struggle with emotions, morality and difficult choices just like ourselves. These mutants only want to live in harmony and be well-balanced just like our multi-racial reality. I think this movie brings out these ideas very well! I really appreciate how the movie spotlights the characters, even Professor X who has the best of intentions, as imperfect. It makes us question whether the choices we made in our lives are always “for the best”.

It is also about friendship and family, how this two things shape a person’s life more than societal norms or what is currently acceptable.

The action is just right. Not overly fanciful and unnecessary. I do agree that the characters could have been given more lines and the younger actors could have performed better but it doesn’t warrant such a low rating!

I like the poignant ending, it is fitting for this series! Only those who have watched all the X-men movies will understand it.

I know many superhero movies are all about the action, fun and coolness, hence if you watch this movie with that in mind then you will not be able to appreciate it fully.… Expand

The love story between Jean and Scott was phenomenal. They made the story and backgrounds to it perfect, but there could have been a little tweaks here and there. All in all perfect movie. At the end I do kinda want a little bit more explanation about Jean and where she went after send the alien and herself into space, and sacrificing herself to save everyone. I'm pushing for the next movie to come and and possibly bringing Jean back. I would love to see the love story between Scott and Jean continue.… Expand

The action scenes were phenomenal. I often found myself captivated in the fight scenes and really feeling the effects of them. Some neat angles as well and cinematic flair that I thought really brought out the grit in the movie.

Story wise- no comment. I grew up reading blue and gold generation x-men so all this phoenix stuff is unknown to me. However, a lot of the psychology of the characters in this film did remind me of that era. I enjoyed that. So I went into this hearing some criticism of Sophie Turner not being the greatest. I was waiting and ready for that, but in my opinion I would disagree. I saw a wide range of emotion, and seriousness to her. I liked it.

I am so happy I went and saw this. Great movie to watch in theater (dbox was actually a fun experience for a change). I can honestly say I enjoyed this quite a bit more than the majority of recent comic book based films.… Expand

I had a good deal of fun with the final moving train fight sequences. The villains, Jessica Chastain as Vuk and Ato Essandoh (the black guy) as villain Jones are given more to do than in most films. Both are strong. James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Sophie Turner, all perform with admirable conviction and gusto. Given what Sinmon Kinberg had to go thru to get this made, this speaks volumes for his integrity, perseverance and craft. I agree with James Kendrick of Q Network Film Desk: "It works on its own terms and deserves neither the critical scorn nor audience apathy it has received." Not quite a "spiritual movie" taken down by aggressive negative reviewers, this is a good effort likely to rise in estimation in years to come.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. X-Men - Dark Phoenix [B+]
Overall, MUCH BETTER than Apocalypse! Not as good as First Class, Days of Future Past or X-Men 1 or 2. So somewhere in the middle of the franchise.

Positives (+)
Dark Phoenix (Jean) fleshed out much better in this iteration
New Storm was hot, likeable, dope use of powers, sexy accent and hot!
Like showing flaws of Prof X - usually depicted as perfect
Dark Phoenix powers - felt like a real threat, skin cracking special effects, eyes
Action sequences
Nightcrawler - dope use of powers
Death of Mystique (finally!)
Hank depicted well - nice makeup
Darker take on characters
Jean's beautiful eyes (so hot)

Negatives (-)
Main villains seemed lame - especially lead female, powers unclear
Cyclops seemed lame, whiny bi***
Quicksilver not used enough
Costumes look too goofy
Phoenix creature CGI lame
No chemistry between Jean & Cyclops
Dreadlock guy was stupid
Mystique as leader of the X-Men was stupid… Expand

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Everyone should see this film a second time. It is so much better on the second screening (especially on an IMAX screen). I think the first time watching it can be a shock because it is such a different tone from other X-Men movies and it is so dark and serious that it almost seems one-note and disappointing. But on the second viewing I could appreciate the sublime tragic beauty of the film (especially thanks to Hans Zimmer's gorgeously haunting score). What I thought on first viewing was cliche dialogue, now on second viewing seems like economical, deep and meaningful dialogue. I even could appreciate the acting performances. Jessica Chastain's performance is actually really good. Notice the contrast between her human self and the alien replica self. Her emotionless cold performance fits her alien character's motives and makes her performance appropriately creepy. Jennifer Lawrence gives a fine performance (despite everyone saying that she's just phoning it in) It's actually quite good and honest and makes the story even more tragic. And Sophie Turner did a good job showing the emotional evolution of her character. On my first viewing I thought she was terrible and I even made a joke about her acting being more wooden than Jessica Chastain's alien character. But on second viewing, I take it back. Sophie did a great job. A lot of her acting was understated and internalized. What gets me about the negative reviews is that the people who love action complained about the first half of this film not having enough action in it and being more like a dramatic soap opera. But then other people complain about the third half having too much action. I think this film gives something for everyone and I really admire its three act structure of the story. The first act was like a philosophical sci-fi film. The second act was like a film noir. And the third act was like an action horror film. I liked how the whole third act and big finale sequence takes place at night. It fits with the title Dark Phoenix. Also, unlike other people who have complained about this abbreviated version of the Dark Phoenix saga, I would not have liked to see this story arc continue over three films. I think this film did a good enough job distilling down the themes to be appropriate for one film and to give the whole series a cautionary yet hopeful ending. It's just a shame that it had to be released after Avengers Endgame because that films was such a complex and triumphant masterpiece that it is a tough act to follow for any other superhero film. But try to view Dark Phoenix as a more psychological chamber piece and it becomes its own kind of masterpiece. Yes there are still the slight flaws that befall any superhero movie where magic powers are allowed to break all the rules of logic. But I was able to suspend my disbelief more during the 2nd screening than I was during the 1st screening. So I am hoping this film stands the test of time and becomes more liked as the dust settles and people have a chance to view it a 2nd time.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My gf thought plotline was a little weak but i saw her in suspense. Truth is i was captivated more. The sheer pressure of suppressed memories being able to generate such a destabilizing force it destroys yourself is familiar to me. The selflessness in the sacrifice made followed by the intense struggle, basically a life and death struggle, was almost impossible to turn away from. Seeing such a strong person struggle enhanced my respect for everyone going through the motions. My gf and I had a rough life and I'm sure we both learned something here. I can look past the aliens and see what they did here. The Phoenix that flew over Charles and magneto in the end gave me goosebumps. Although this movie seems to be criticized I saw some unique points of view in this movie that are achievements on it's own and therefore I give a solid 9. This chapter was welcome and necessary. I think many lessons are hidden in this movie, and in this day and age of superficial friendships this is the one that is able to add the depth human relations so often need. Great work, this movie is a sacrifice in itself… Expand

There is a seductive beauty to every scene and I found all character motivations convincing. Especially, the socio-political subtext is timely and very well done. in a nutshell: access for minorities is only granted through politics of respectability. The action set pieces are also probably the best the series had so far. The X-Men finally fight as a team.

Unfortunately, some scenes felt quite rushed and I wished the movie would have been longer. I do not understand why the length is so short. Jessica Chastain's character is the weakest link and underused. But all in all Dark Phoenix surprisingly became one of my favorite X-Men movies and is close behind X-Men 2, Days of Future Past, & Logan in my ranking.

No, but it is way better than what the critics are saying. Sophie Turner performance as Jean Grey was one of the highlights of the movie. And of course James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender as always did great. The soundtrack was another highlight of the movie. To be honest I can understand why some may have issue with the story/dialogue/pacing/development. I prefer movies where the pacing is a slow build up to the epic battle at the end and they delivered on that. I think they should had made its at least 30 minutes longer, to develop the characters more, especially the villain. But overall it work. Was it a 100% adaptation of the comic? No, but neither is any of the Disney Marvel movies are. There was some great dialogue and cgi, but there was some bad dialogue and cgi. However there was no more bad dialogue or cgi than there was in other blockbuster movies like Disney Stars Wars and Marvel. What I'm trying to say is, if Fox just slap Disney logo in the credits, more people would loved this movies. One thing I think people need to understand is that this movie was suppose to be beginning of a new X-men trilogy and not the end. Fox didn't merge with Disney until after the movie was made. So there wasn't supposed to been a big ending like Avengers Endgame.… Expand

Far better than Apocalypse! It could have been better in terms of aesthetics and grandness, but, none the less it is definitely entertaining!

Granted The New Mutants will be the last X-Men Movie from 20th Century Fox, but this was the last installment in the mainline franchise. X-Men: Dark Phoenix was one of the greatest movies of 2019 in my opinion, I was more than impressed with the talent in this film and I thought it was a sad way to end the series, literally sad as in emotional. I’m happy they showed us the true potential of Dark Phoenix in this explosive finale! I’m very upset that this movie got panned for absolutely no reason at all.… Expand

Her inherited powers are not only formidable, but coveted by the strangers from another planet (led by Jessica Chastain). Unlike some of the Marvel movies, the plot seems more focused and the interactions more interesting. What's most important is the action: which is sufficiently scattered throughout and less noisily cluttered than most of this genre. There's nothing new or particularly exciting here, but the narrative and effects are sufficiently entertaining. Sadly, this is the first Marvel film without a Stan Lee cameo, although it's dedicated to him .… Expand

Sophie Turner's performance it's good. She lets you feel the doubt, the pain, the betrayal and the strenght of the Dark Phoenix. The let down is how little the scope of the entity is worked and the action scenes seemed a bit clumsy.

Simon Kinberg's "Dark Phoenix" sure isn't the finest comic book movie I've ever seen, but the worst of the entire X-Men franchise? I guess I wasn't aware of the sheer enjoyment fans drew from the unsung cinematic classic that was "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," but I digress. The character work is a bit of a mess at times and -- yes -- there are a few cringe-inducing lines and ideas for scenes. But the overall product was watchable, mostly straightforward, occasionally well-done and just enough of a success for me to stay on board with Fox's X-men franchise for future installments. Oh, wait. . .never mind. Rest in peace, 20th Century Fox. Again, this may not have been the worthiest effort from the X-men producers in question, but after seeing it, I can't say I would've minded following them through semi-rough patch they entered. I guess that won't be happening though.… Expand

Weird thing is, those other films get a pass when this one doesn't somehow. But all of these issues don't stop the film from being entertaining, cool, emotional, or even thought provoking at times. The cast is great, special effects are awesome, and the action is top notch. Not to mention the score by Hans Zimmer fits perfectly. Too bad critics treated this film so harshly when it didn't deserve it. This film takes some risks, and maybe some aren't used to that. Everyone should go see this film and judge for themselves without the critics telling you how they should feel. One of the better films of the year so far honestly.… Expand

The Stream: The movie is a bit predictable, lacks originality and the end leaves you a little empty.

The Big Screen: The movie looks great on the big screen particularly in action sequences.

The Final Bill: Being the end of an era, X-Men fans should catch it in the theaters and general watchers should watch the other movies first and then consider a matinee, if you have free time.

No after credit scene. Parents be warned that unlike the other 3 movies PG-13 is accurate with some language and violence towards the end.

-S2S

Stream to Big Screen is back at it again. This week we will be reviewing the long awaited, X-Men: Dark Phoenix. The fourth, and final, movie of this recent X-Men reboot. A movie marking a last for 21st Century Fox films with the X-Men due to the Disney/Marvel acquisition. The third movie of the series had mixed reviews but ultimately was very entertaining. Let’s see if Dark Phoenix arose from the ashes for one last flight.

Let’s dive deep into the ashes. I wouldn’t say that there are elements of this movie that are bad, just ones that were lacking. The movie is missing some minor detail that would lead you to say, “Oh, that right there was on point.” Even in the ending, the viewer just feels like the movie was good, but something was missing. I’m not sure what 21st Century Fox and director, Simon Kinberg, were thinking when they looked at the product as a whole. Looking back on it, the movie made you feel like when you pick up your cup expecting orange juice, but actually you picked up the wrong cup and drank apple juice. It’s still healthy for you and it quenched your thirst to a degree, but it wasn’t the taste you expected.

On top of that, this movie is too eerily similar to X-Men: The Last Stand. Too many elements of the movie made me feel as if I was watching a reboot of Last Stand rather than it’s own independent movie. No seriously, the plot was similar, except the stupid cure aspect. With that said, Dark Phoenix is actually a better version of Last Stand. This may be the reason why the movie feels like it’s lacking originality, but ultimately the movie is just too predictable on its own. This may also be because of the movie trailer. The movie trailer was very good, but also gives away too much. The movie did hide a couple secrets from the viewers, which were worth it, but again execution was lacking. Finally, the director let the movie live in flashbacks too much. An issue not too horrible, but we got the point of the flashbacks the first time we saw them. The 5th time was understood, but just too much.

Now, the part that you’ve been waiting for. This movie looks like they spent a $200 million budget. The scenes seem to literally jump off the screen at times. The scene that was in space look great and the action scenes are very clear and well cgi-ed, except for some running and flying. Unlike the previous installments, the movie’s action towards the end is closer to a John Wick film than X-Men. Quite welcomed, even though it’s short lived.

The storyline, while predictable, still was executed well, except the ending of the franchise. We take a ride with the X-Men every step of the way. Just like the movie jumps off the screen, so do the emotions we feel. Sansa, while not a great actress, displays a nice depiction of a person drinking in /falling prey to power, yet keeping true to who we’ve known her character to be. James McAvoy, again does a good job, but the movie missed an opportunity to truly use Michael Fassbender. Clearly, the producers were featuring the Queen of the North, but they could have still taken advantage of the star talent in the cast. Lastly, the movie has a little comedy in it, compared to the previous installments, but the few chuckles were good.

Long story short, X-Men: Dark Phoenix is a solid movie, but is just lacking a little in execution that would make you say it was a great movie. For fans of the series, you should see this through to the end and the action scenes will make it worth a matinee price. For everyone else, go check out the previous installments first, and then consider seeing the movie during an early matinee.… Expand

Nothing wrong with its cast though, as they brought their A game into the proceedings. Despite the excellent first 15 minutes, the flick meanders and ends up retreading the same story points as Last Stand, albeit remixed..sometimes for the worst. Having the third act reshot is another nail in the coffin. Despite some pretty good action set pieces, the whole film is underwhelming. Writer Director Simon Kinberg actually took responsibility for this film flopping in the cinemas, and I have to agree with him. He brought absolutely nothing new to the table. The fact that the head honchos at Fox would gave him $200 million for this 'reboot / remake' is mind boggling. This sort of decision making is probably why Fox is swallowed by the Disney juggernaut. Let's see what Feige and Co. will do to this property in the MCU.… Expand

This character-driven superhero tale is somewhat overwritten when it comes to exploring (and frequently misinterpreting) motivations, incorporating contemporary social issue symbolism, and getting in touch with feelings, so much so that it tends to drag in the first half. The opening also gives surprisingly short shrift to the action-adventure elements, a shortcoming that's fortunately made up for at the back end. However, when it comes to the story's philosophical/metaphysical themes, the picture is spot-on, providing thoughtful viewing yet again in an unlikely context. In all, this release may not match its predecessors, but it does share valuable insights worth pondering in a well-acted, beautifully photographed package.… Expand

Okay, maybe I'm laying it on a bit thick. (I really wanted to say the line.) Dark Phoenix is a movie that is not particularly bad or good.

There are several plot issues. The movie tries to get away from the more action-oriented and not well critically received X-Men: Apocalypse by being more dialogue and story heavy. This leaves a lot of long scenes of talking that aren't particularly dynamic. Not to mention that the action scenes are too few and far apart. Other plot problems include: Characters make decisions that fit the plot more than feel natural. The villains, beside Dark Phoenix (Game of Thrones' Sophie Turner), just feel really wedged in without any personality. There is also a scene with them at the beginning that is the darkest and of the franchise and felt like it didn't need to go that far. An issue in the film is resolved without any real explanation.

It may be obvious at this point, but there are the two prerequisite issues that everyone has mentioned: 1) Conflicts with the time line of the other films. The last film suggested and The Last Stand stated that Jean Grey's Phoenix powers came from within, but now they come from an outside force. 2) Nicholas Hoult, James McAvoy, and Michael Fassbender needed at least a little old age makeup. We were first introduced to the characters in the 1960's and now it's the 90's. Hoult's baby-face really doesn't help.

A lot of actors sleepwalk through their roles. In the case of Hoult and Kodi Smit-McPhee, they only seem to be energized when their characters are angry. Though more effort is made to focus on the individual X-Men, some of them still don't get to do much.

As for the parts that do work: You get to see the characters go into space. The current state of human-mutant relations has made an interesting change, and that part of the world steels feel like it has stakes after all these films. Character relations are improved from Age of Apocalypse.

Turner, McAvoy, and Fassbender are the only actors to give good performances. Since we only met the new Jean Grey/Phoenix (Turner) in the last film, I was worried that they didn't have enough to adequately and sympathetically to show her shift from an enemy to a threat in a short amount of time. However, Turner really sells the role. We really feel her pain and anger. We get to see more moral grayness to McAvoy's Professor Xavier. In the last film, I thought Fassbender's Magneto felt forced in. Even if he did have the best scene in the film. Here he works a lot better.

No complaints about the fight scenes. Excellently done. The general look and music are pretty good too.

I'd rank this above Wolverine: X-Men Origins and below the other films. I know a lot of critics are saying this is better than it's predecessor, but for me Apocalypse at least had energy to it. This film just feels languid. If you're an X-Men completionist, go right ahead. This isn't a stinker. However for everyone else, this isn't a must-see.… Expand

Far from the greatest X-Men movie but it’s not that badI had seen somewhat mixed opinions of this movie and none of them were really that great so I had some doubts about it. Anyway, the other day I sat down with the kids and watched it.

Far from the greatest X-Men movie but it’s not that bad either. It’s okayish.

The story is fairly decent and, as usual, the special effects (which is really why I watch these movies) is quite good actually. The characters are doing a decent enough job of their roles although none of them are really up to the standard Patrick Stewart brought to the franchise.

The biggest gripe I have with the movie is it’s incessant whining. Jean is quite cool when she get’s pissed off and shows off her powers pretty much stopping anything that gets thrown at her. However those good moments are overshadowed by both her and other characters going into whining mode every so often. And Hank is just a bloody annoying ****

I haven’t really read that many X-Men comics (didn’t have them in Sweden when I grew up) so I cannot say I know much about Jean’s real story in those. I noticed that a lot of people complained about the story in the movie not being “the right” one. Sure, when they take a known character and remakes him for no good reason that pisses me off as well but this is NOT a one star movie by any stretch of the imagination.

Overall I cannot say that I really felt disappointed having watched it. Not exactly overjoyed either but it made for a decent enough movie evening with the kids.… Expand

Dialogue is shallow, it reduces my enjoyment of watching movies. But on the other hand, I enjoyed a lot while listening to Hans Zimmer's Soundtracks. The screenplay's disappointing.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 6.5/10. It's a decent film. Has emotional moment's and you get to connect with the characters. The film itself is small scale and grounded, which makes us feel for Jean and understand her as it is more focused on character drama but it gives it a vibe that feels as if this isn't an X-Men movie. The other X-Men are wasted in this movie. There are some good action scenes which are cleverly done and it wraps up this story for the X-MEN. The ending is quite generic and is a slight bummer due to the perfect conclusion of days of future past l. Score is great. Pacing is decent, it does feel rushed at points but this isn't hugely noticeable especially to fans. Villians aren't great and are generic but the phoenix force creates intrigue which is good to see.

Overall if your a comic book fan then I think you should see this. If you can pick up cheap tickets like discount Tuesday or 2 for 1s then it's definitely worth it… Expand

X-Men: Dark Phoenix

A superhero movie franchise that preceded all in the Marvel universe. It all began at the start of the new millennium with Bryan Singer's X-Men. The success of X-Men gave rise to sequels, prequels and spinoffs for the big and small screen alike.

After Fox conveniently reset the X-Men universe in Days of Future Past, they were in the clear to adapt the Dark Phoenix storyline yet again with focus on the cosmic origins of the force. Simon Kinberg (scribe for many X-Men movies) makes his directorial debut with Dark Phoenix and yes he definitely makes one hell of a mess. Dark Phoenix boasts of a stellar cast, but they are limited in what they are given to do. Sophie Turner does make a compelling Jean Grey/Phoenix. She is clearly the best thing about the movie. James McAvoy's Professor X is convincing enough. Michael Fassbender, Tye Sheridan, Nicholas Hoult & Jennifer Lawrence are as good as the props on set (they serve their purpose). Jessica Chastain is worse than Malekith from Thor: The Dark World. There are no dimensions to this villain.

But to be honest, Dark Phoenix is way better than the **** excuse for a movie called X-Men: Apocalypse. I still wonder why Apocalypse was better recieved than Dark Phoenix. A movie that killed the most powerful being in the Marvel Universe in an instant! The X-Men franchise deserved a better finale especially for a franchise that is two decades old. Fox never thought big. They had both the X-Men & Fantastic Four but they messed them up. It's very sad to see this franchise bite the dust in such a sad & pathetic manner. Hopefully, the MCU handles these properties better.

Dark Phoenix is the first Fox-Marvel movie to be distributed by Walt Disney Studios (post acquisition). New Mutants would be the last movie in the X-Men series that began at Fox. It will release in 2020.… Expand

On the whole, it's a good movie, but just stop to think a little deeper and thousands of mistakes arise. Although it has incredible visual effects, it is a terrible outcome for the X-men.

Only the train sequence was good. And only that. Oh, and there was a literal phoenix.

There were scenes that were really executed well and then other times I’m wondering what they are trying to accomplish in this movie. It balances out. The good is good, the bad is bad.

This movie's biggest sin is that it feels really bland considering it is the end of a 20 years long franchise...but even so, its still better than X-Men 3, Origins, and the boring mess that was Apocalypse.… Expand

This is likely comparable to X-Men 3. Regrettably, it appears to be an unfinished mashup of many sequences.

Not terrible by any means and in some ways stronger than its immediate predecessors, but the writing is mostly poor and rehashed.

Didn't we see this boring stuff somewhere before? Only in the last half hour or so do things start to pick up. The heroes get to shine but that doesn't excuse the rest of the movie which is too slow and frankly quite boring.

The CGI is good and I can see no fault in the acting, even if I must admit to missing Halle Berry as Storm. The film just feels underwhelming as a whole. I can't recommend it. It may be the blandest entry in the whole series. So not what I had hoped for, but here it is.

I just watched The Last Stand again and it was definitely better than this, a lot better actually. I'm changing my rating to a 4. If last stand is a 6 then Dark Phoenix really isn't worth a 5, so disappointing.… Expand

The entire plot of this film is built on 5 characters witnessing something happen then completely ignoring it for the rest of the film.

Nightcrawler enters full ass-kicking mode and it's just great. Unfortunately it's a second failed attempt to faithfully bring the Dark Phoenix story to the screen. It kind of borrows from all the right places for a bit before veering off on its own. It's not that it's bad, it's just derivative at best. By the time it's over, it leaves you feeling like it should have been way more than it was. It really never hits that crescendo you would want for the franchise.

Worth watching, could have been better. Sophie Turner's accent is fine.… Expand

Jean Grey was always the most annoying X Men character. Not surprising the movie didn't turn out well.
