Dark Phoenix | Full Length Reaction
Added 2022-11-04 06:30:48 +0000 UTCHey guys! Here's the (not) long awaited, X-Men: Dark Phoenix! I've heard horrible, truly terrible things about this movie - how I should skip it, how it's not even worth thinking it exists in the X-Men universe etc... and as much as these comments were made, I couldn't just NOT watch an X-Men movie.. plus it was the second to last one before we officially complete all of them (thus far!) I gotta say, this was definitely one of my least favorite and was very... strange at some points. I point out details and choices made that I found to be interesting (which you'll see lol) and have provided a hecking lot of opinion by the end. So do with that what you will!!

i agree, they definitely will, but my hope is they will be smarter about it and have it be the end of an actual series of films, not just a bunch of attempts at the same story. an issue is that they essentially made wanda their phoenix, so they'll need to try mixing things up a bit, which isn't something fans are famous for embracing.

There's so many other comic stories they could be doing instead of trying this twice. But I'm betting they'll try again in the MCU.

2022-11-05 02:29:51 +0000 UTCYeah, this film had a production hell. And contract hell, and following the bomb of Apocalypse hell. This is why people are very excited about the Marvel/Disney/MCU thing because 'the people' want the X-Men to get the MCU treatment, lol. New Mutants is good. Its not fantastic, but its good. And they try to switch up the genre by giving it a horror movie element. But it also had a production nightmare, released during the 'covid years' and although it is a Marvel film, take it on its own merit and not how it connects to the bigger universe. It comes up a little lacking if you do. But still a good film with one of my favorite mutant pairs from the comics, Magik and Lockheed. If they end up exploring down this rabbit hole of a story, The New Mutants comics are one 'hell' of a ride. ;)
