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

I don't get all the hate. This Mutant effort is MILES BETTER than X-Men: Apocalypse. It is not the greatest action movie ever, but some of the fight scenes had me clenching my fist in glee as the bad guys got their comeuppance.

I don't get invested like that in many movies, especially a film that is pretty much a standalone film, despite the franchise and history. All of the actors are as good as ever. Jennifer Lawrence, who is obviously in contract-fulfillment mode and phoning it in, was still good.

Sophie Turner is very good. It's a super hero movie, folks.
