Sophie Turner shines but messy plot flames out

‘Dark Phoenix’: Gaslighting, Bad Men & Ideas Of Identity & Destiny Can’t Save This Clumsy ‘X-Men’ Movie

'X-Men' mutant doesn't start the fire

2131d ago

Everyone seems to agree that this X-venture is the last cinematic one for a long time. Fox is being rolled into the Marvel empire and we probably won’t see Professor X, Magneto, or even Wolverine for years. By then, everyone will have forgotten “Dark Phoenix.” Heck, that will happen by the end of the month. After all, nobody cares anymore.
