Review of Dark Phoenix (2019) by Trineo99 — 06 Jun 2019

First of all, I hated everything in this movie and really found no joy in this movie. 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.
