Review of Dark Phoenix (2019) by Paulo — 05 Jun 2019

The movie can surely appease fans, it's cast tries very hard to obtain the best of a lackluster script. Some sequences are pretty good, other are doubtful. The Dark Phoenix Saga material here is only scraps of the source material has to offer and the script seems rushed.

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.

I hoped for more, but what It gives can entertain and shows us the unscaped potential of the saga. Hope someone get It right sometime and shows us the resplendance of the white phoenix instead.
