Dark Phoenix

a review by ephraimk

I don't understand the point of this movie. It seems to be attempting a copy-paste of Endgame's success, while jumping to making Jean the Phoenix immediately, just like the X2 and X3 films, which were both criticized for this very thing! Why make Charles the villain? I think most viewers can agree, blocking Jean's mind was the right thing to do. Sophie Turner's acting in this film was also particularly poor. The performances by McAvoy, Lawrence, Fassbender, and Peters were what keeps this film from the 10% in my books. Trash.
