Extremely upset, I went to watch this movie with my expectation up there, and it comes out extremely disappointed.

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

It did butcher much of what made the dark phoenix saga in the comics so good. I’d rate it lower except I really did like the Xavier/Magneto scenes. It’s sad to see, the avengers was a **** comic that really didn’t get many readers and X-MenIt did butcher much of what made the dark phoenix saga in the comics so good.

It’s sad to see, the avengers was a **** comic that really didn’t get many readers and X-Men was the biggest selling comic of all time. It’s funny that they made average to good movies out of the avengers (and spin offs) and all the X-Men movies suck.… Expand

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.

Sigh... just no! Mediocre writing, performed by a mediocre Dark Phoenix, resulting in a mediocre movie. What a shame. Cut out and mentally delete the anti men brainfart of Ms Lawrence and most of the so called "woke" force is kinda out, butSigh... just no!

I really enjoyed Sophie Turner in her character on GOT, but really didnt like her in this movie. 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. 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

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.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It boggles my mind that so many people are giving this movie such bad reviews and ratings. Personally loved it! 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I watched this movie when I binge watched all the X-Men movies last year. I didn't understand what all the fuss was about. People seemed to really hate it, but I didn't mind it much. Recently I have begun reading the X-Men: Dark Phoenix graphic novel, and now I understand why. They should have just adapted the graphic novel into a movie and it could have easily become more successful than most MCU movies. But they those to write an original story, and that's not saying in a good way.

First of all, let's get the praise over with. The CGI and VFX of this movie are amazing. Now that I look back, it is literally the only reason why I liked this movie. The action scenes are also fun to watch. The story may be mediocre, but it's original nonetheless. They actually decided to do something new and unique. Unlike Days of the Future Past and First Class, they didn't use Wolverine for a cameo, so that's also something positive. The music was also pretty legendary. With all that said, now let's get to the critical part.

So the first problem this movie faces is the timeline. This is supposed to take place a little less than a decade before the incidents of the first movie. So the situation has to be more similar to that movie than, let's say, Apocalypse or Days of the Future Past. But here we have drastically young Charles Xavier and Magneto. Magneto has chosen to live in exile after his confrontation with the humans (don't ask which one). Mystique is with Charles and later gets killed by Dark Phoenix. So let's get this straight - Everyone aged immediately in 10 years, the government does not want to disturb mutants and then decides to target them again, Magneto goes back to being rogue and Mystique comes back to life?

Secondly the characters. Most of them looked like they were just brought for the sake of fan service, and were heavily wasted. Tell me, what did Quicksilver do in the entire movie other than yet another slow motion run in which he failed big time? Magneto was there only to be just another X-Man who will fight the bad guys (the question being what is Magneto even doing here; he wasn't in the Dark Phoenix saga). Mystique, like I mentioned, was just there to die. So was Jean's father. D'Bari replace the Hellfire Club here, even though they do almost the same thing. Charles Xavier gets whooped once again by Jean. Only Cyclops and Nightcrawler continue being themselves. Everyone else gets ruined.

Thirdly the story. Where do I begin from? This whole thing is one hige pool of mess. X-Men save the world, Jean absorbs the Dark Phoenix matter, slowly becomes Dark Phoenix, Mystique says the team should be X-Women, something something D'Bari get Jean, they attack a bank, now mutants are evil, Magneto takes Xavier's side, fighting fighting, the end. Congrats, the movie is complete. Now everyone bring your money and we will make more of these. What was the whole point of doing this? Why did they make this movie? What does it contribute to the franchise?

Personally I'm all in for the awesome CGI and cinematography. But considering this is supposed to be the last movie of the franchise, they should have done something better. Even the poster is a copy of Captain Marvel and Star Wars Episode IX. X-Men should have known when to stop. Or even better, they should have continued with a Deadpool movie series eventually separating from the main franchise. That would have been way more fun to watch than this... thing.… Expand

The worst film about X-Men but it doesn't shows this is bad film. It's something between story and action but nothing of this you don't watch after the half of the film.

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

Admittedly an improvement on the first dark phoenix attempt in The Last Stand, however it still missed the mark.

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