Review of Dark Phoenix (2019) by Tvjerry — 20 Jun 2019

Fresh from the finale of "Game of Thrones," Sophie Turner plays a new mutant who's sullied by aliens during a rescue mission. Her inherited powers are not only formidable, but coveted by the strangers from another planet (led by Jessica Chastain).

Unlike some of the Marvel movies, the plot seems more focused and the interactions more interesting. What's most important is the action: which is sufficiently scattered throughout and less noisily cluttered than most of this genre.

There's nothing new or particularly exciting here, but the narrative and effects are sufficiently entertaining. Sadly, this is the first Marvel film without a Stan Lee cameo, although it's dedicated to him .
