4/5
Saw the movie today after hearing of negative reviews and low score, but i liked it!it is way more of an accurate story of the cosmic phoenix force compared to xmen last stand. It did seem rushed as a movie since disney bought the xmen rights i guess. One thing i didnt understand was in the last movie apocalypse, he said all is revealed before jean killed him and was visually seen with a firebird image around her, but in dark phoenix she didnt get the power until they were in space?! Other than that the special effects were awesome, the story followed the comics way better than making jean a schizoprenic demon as bret rattner did in the last stand and also including the alien race that the phoenix entity destroyed on their home planet. They could have made a 2nd movie including lilandra and that whole story arc. Poor quicksilver tho! Had fewer scenes than ever! But overall, i enjoyed it as the final xmen film from fox! The phoenix is awesome! Maybe one day, the phoenix will rise from the ashes again! Lol
