SaysWho? Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 at pointing out how bad the film is. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dark_phoenix/ 20% tomatometer 4.57 average rating Some choice quotes: "When you watch this new movie and actually miss the gaudy theatrics of X-Men: The Last Stand because it at least tried, that's a very surprising and telling thing." "Dark Phoenix sends the X-Men out not with a bang, but with a roll of the eyes and a somewhat exasperated sigh." "The film is an all-too-fitting whimper of a conclusion to a franchise that never remotely fulfilled its potential." "What's truly amazing about "Dark Phoenix" is watching the charismatic, award-winning, star-packed cast flail about in this poorly written nonsense cartoon." "When your superhero movie hinges on a finale set on a train, you kind of know you're doomed." "Dark Phoenix simply sits there, patiently killing... time, with the hope that spectacle and an ensemble cast is enough to carry the load of its dreadfully thin script." "Despite the promise of a fiery conclusion Dark Phoenix instead fizzles out with no gas left in the tank." "'Nobody cares anymore' exclaims Fassbender at one point. It's as if he can read my mind." "At least Turner's trying, which can't be said for some of the other members of the cast. Jennifer Lawrence is all but checking her watch during her scenes as Mystique." 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's Simon Kinberg, we all knew this was inevitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodporne Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 This is the first time I've been interested in one of these Marvel/Superhero whatever flicks simply because bad movies are funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Maybe my expectations were low, or the open bar reception before the screening, but I didn’t think it was that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mission Impossible 1 was pretty good. It wasn't really a superhero film, but still. It seems that Dark Phoenix will come in comfortably below my already non-existent expectations. I'll still probably see it thanks to A-list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the movie all you like, I love plenty of horrible movies... doesn't mean it's not a shitacular movie. I would actually put it at the very bottom of Woo's movies. I'd watch M:I2 a thousand times over before ever subjecting myself to Broken Arrow again. The real question is, which came first--the Broken Arrow theme... or Deputy Dewey's theme?

It's not a great movie by any objective measure, and Woo's Hong Kong films (and M:I 2) are better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my point. He'd been acting well in a number of films but no one was really giving him any credit, thinking he was a bad actor until Deadpool.

I just don’t think Van Wilder’s X-Men is what the franchise in general needs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
