Review of Dark Phoenix (2019) by Louismihael — 10 Jun 2019

Overall I enjoyed it. Was it the best superhero/marvel/xmen movie? 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.
