The Dark Phoenix??

Contains spoilers, click to show

I have to begin by saying is I am glad Fox is done with the X men. This bad excuse for a Dark Phoenix story was by far the worst of the lot. I thought the Apocalypse movie was bad. They made one worse! I know there is only so much you can do in a movie but to call this The Dark Phoenix was not the right movie title. Maybe it should have been called X Men: The Alien Invasion. That's all this movie was...a story about Jean Grey getting the Phoenix powers and Aliens trying to get her and steal the powers to rebuild their race. That's the storyline. It seems there wasn't even an effort to tell the story half way right. But at the expense of going on a rant, Fox is done so maybe now Marvel can do the X men justice. My recommendation...don'r waste your time on this abomination.

No chemistry between the 2 leads

The original MIB movies were fun and had that great constantly at odds with each partnership between smith and jones,while this movie is the complete opposite of what came before it.

In this film we get the usual bog standard story (aliens chase after powerful weapon,mib get it then lose it then get it back again) and of course the good guy turns out to be a baddie at the end reveal.Whoever wrote the script for this movie obviously couldn't come up with an original idea of his own and just recycled parts from the other films together.

All the chemistry thompson and hemsworth had in their ragnarok is taken away here,they seem bland and uninterested at certain points in the film.

This franchise has had its day in the sun and we really dont need to see it ever again.

High-concept, low-budget SF movie. It's the night of the year's first basketball game somewhere in Texas, and most people are watching. But small-town DJ Everett and switchboard operator Fay aren't, and they start to get strange reports of mysterious radio signals and peculiar lights. The same phrase recurs again and again: there's something in the sky...

Framed as a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits pastiche, and while the subject matter is certainly similar, much of the style is not: long takes, either static or mobile, rattling dialogue, a sort of self-consciousness about form which is only to be expected in a directorial debut. Interesting subtext about the aliens' agenda and the people prepared to speak up about their experiences (generally speaking, it's people from the lowest strata of society). Genuinely tense and even a bit eerie in places: Rod Serling would never have written something so oblique, but I think he would have appreciated its quality regardless.
