Recently, I went to watch Dark Phoenix and here is what I thought about it. This only contains spoiler from the trailer.

So when I was in the cinema watching this film, I don’t know if anyone have this same experience but the cinema I was in was suited for about 100 people but there was only 20 people there. Are critics part of the reason why this film had no one going to see? Or maybe it’s the advertising.

Anyway, this film is quite similar to Last Stand but instead of Storm being the leader of the X-men, it was Mystique. Storm is just there. She doesn’t really contribute much and so is Quicksilver. Which is sad to see, Quicksilver scenes in the X-men movies are my favourite to see. Compared to X-men Last Stand, there are stuff that they did not explain in Dark Phoenix but did explain in Last Stand.

The CGI is also very inconsistent in this film. From the trailer you can already see how bad Storm’s lightning look like but things like the Phoenix Force looks perfect.

This movie tried to mix too many subplots together and I think that’s where it failed. You remember this girl?

Yah she is pretty much irrelevant. The first half of this movie was really great but this character will ruin it for the second half.

I mean this movie is the end so at least it made me like Magneto. Magneto in this movie is a 10/10.

But if I go to watch Dark Phoenix, I want a movie complete with Jean Grey with her destroying stuff.

For an end to a franchise, it’s not Endgame level good but if you are an X-men fan you must at least see it because despite its problems it’s still pretty good. But the costumes look ridiculous.

Ratings: 6/10
