X-Men: Fênix Negra

Tackling the story arc of Jean Grey for the second time yet ending up with the same disappointing results, Dark Phoenix concludes the 20th Century Fox's X-Men saga on an underwhelming note and is one of the blandest entries in the franchise. Dull, predictable & utterly forgettable, it is as redundant as a sequel can get, and happens to be terrible on most levels if not all.

The more I think about it, the least I think of this movie. A story about something that is not named merging with Jean Grey, aliens that are not named coming to take control over it - by using sheer number and physical strength, obviously, a government that goes from hailing the X-Men to mutant detention facilities in a day and characters that switch from love to murderous hate in seconds. Nothing makes any sense! The film connects to none of the previous films, has actors in it just for the sake of killing them off or doesn't have them at all, in some cases. It's just a standalone X-men-like film that just doesn't seem to be part of the same thing. It looks like someone tried to make a Mutant-X film and randomly got the rights for the X-Men in the process. Why was this done at all?

The storyline is pretty decent. But Sophie Turner's poor Acting skills just kills the whole movie. Rest of the characters are alright with the kind of script they have got. McAvoy and Fassbender are more of a saving grace to this film.

Yikes.

It's a rough one. From the seemingly robot-generated dialogue, to the hollow characters, to the wooden acting, to the utter incomprehensibility of the fight scenes - this movie is a laborious and completely unrewarding watch. In fact, I would prefer hard labor to sitting through this sorry excuse for a movie again. With so many talented actors, it's utterly astonishing that anyone could create such an unpleasant film. But these people pulled it off. Amazing.

The only fortunate person to take part in this movie was Jennifer Lawrence, who didn't stick around for long. Smart move.

I put off seeing this movie for months before finally watching it. It's too bad I did. What a waste of time.

Who wrote this - I would like his job. No effort and still got paid.

The conversations are flat and the actors look uncomfortable saying them. There is a plot and in the same time, you feel like there is no plot. I lost interest in what was happening very quickly.

Do not watch.
