X-Men: Dark Phoenix
(2019)
Written & directed
by Simon Kinberg this film stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender,
Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult and Sophie Turner. After a rescue
mission to space Jean Grey is imbued with the power of the phoenix
force.
Retreading ground we
have already seen on the big screen this is a pretty middle of the
road adaptation of the Dark Phoenix Saga. Lacking character and a
real focus on what makes the X-Men unique, minority rights issues,
this is not as bad as some would have you believe but still fairly
forgettable. About the biggest surprise here was seeing Jessica
Chastain appear as the token bad guy.
3/5
