Dark Phoenix X-Men: Dark Phoenix News and Speculation Thread - - - - - - Part 15

It’s like me fiercely defending this series on this forum for well over a decade (even X3 and XMA) means nothing. I’m just a hater!!!!

I've defended XMA....until I saw it. I was so upset. Which is why I'm waiting until I see Dark Phoenix to give my impressions. I'm giving Kinberg a chance (just like I did with Bryan Singer when all the negativity started surrounding Apocalypse) to see what he does because I mainly wanted this movie to be vastly different from XMA, and the fact that Kinberg was going for a different tone is what intrigued me.

Yes, he has always criticized all the xmen films

I can relate to that. I still defend the Last Stand.

 

[BMM]

But can they get two actors with the same level of sexual tension as Macavoy and Fassbender have?

 

[Cktopl33]

I can relate to that. I still defend the Last Stand.

The Last Stand to me just started to get silly after the tone they established with the previous two films. I felt the exact same way with Apocalypse, it just felt and looked silly after what they did with First Class and DOFP.

04.06.2019 at 16:37 clock by Christian Horn - Since the X-Men around Charles Xavier ten years ago the power-hungry mutant Apocalypse have brought down, they have risen in the minds of men to heroes and now enjoy a good reputation. But the glory that comes with it makes Xavier make daring decisions for his charges. In a mission, Mystique, Beast, Storm, Nightcrawler and Quicksilver travel to space to rescue crashed astronauts. On the way, however, they are shaken by a solar flare. Although Jean Gray is able to absorb it, it causes disastrous forces ...

The X-Men franchise has hardly disappointed so far. The adaptations of the Marvel comics launched in the year 2000 convinced with exciting character conflicts and the individual characteristics of the mutated (anti) heroes. Recently, only Apocalypse with a too strong action focus was a little behind expectations. In Dark Phoenix - the last X-Men film that Fox produced before being acquired by Disney - the previous scriptwriter and producer Simon Kinberg took over the directing chair from the outraged Bryan Singer. The fact that an author staged the film, pays off in this case: The concerns of the characters are clearly in the foreground, Dark Phoenix is a total of more drama than fireworks.

The plot starts with a rescue mission in space, in which the mutant Jean Gray aka Phoenix (really great: Sophie "Sansa Stark" Turner) is exposed to a cosmic power. In the aftermath, Jean appears changed, sometimes loses control of their powers and brings a part of the X-Men unforgiving against. At the same time, form-shifting aliens (including Jessica Chastain) chase after the mysterious power.

Kinberg unfolds the conflicts with great seriousness and keeps calm even in the midst of the greatest drama. The visually sophisticated and musically underpinned by Hans Zimmer action only increases at the finale and disappointed not because it is the fight for something and the consequences of certain acts of group splitting give dramatic weight. Voltage-boosting is also the vulnerability of the X-Men: Where the Avengers in a fight only warm up, when cities burst over their heads, the mutants go easy on it. That's another reason why they are welcome to stay away from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The X-Men are fine alone!

Conclusion: Brilliant comic adaptation, in which the contemporary trick technique is accompanied by emotions - and therefore even more enthralling.

It bothers me so much because it could have been so much more. The look of the 80s period didn't bother me at all. I felt if they just stayed steeped in that focusing on the younger characters with a different type of conflict that's more serious and less goofy, better shot action sequences, and leave out the whole Apocalypse nonsense altogether...it probably would have been awesome. To me anyway....

The bias is strong in this one

I think all X-Men fans want this to be a good movie.

We've been burned before, so the negativity comes from that but ultimately we want this franchise to end on a high note quality wise.

Well we all knew Hans Zimmer was gonna come through with the score

 

[Zarex]

I can relate to that. I still defend the Last Stand.

It's ultimately a disappointment, though still watchable, and The Rat put some good stuff in that film. Grammer and Page were great additions, Xavier's death scene was well done, and the Hold The Line scene at Alcatraz was some damn good team superheroing for its time.

Page who? I was disappointed by the quick death of Cyclops and some of the fights on first viewing, but got over that later.
I can't stay disappointed at the death of a Cyclops I couldn't care much about.

My first impression about #DarkPhoenix: I must emphasize the performance of Jessica Chastain and Sophie Turner, are really incredible. Alexandra Shipp presents a great evolution. Incredible CGI, and a great action sequence. It's a great end, a big farewell.

Found a review from a french magazine/website.

Spoiler

The penultimate film X-Men under the Fox flag is a blockbuster with ambitions cosmic brimées. Fortunately, there is the Turner-Chastain duo.

The mutant Jean Gray finds herself possessed by a phenomenal cosmic force, and here she becomes so powerful that it threatens the survival of humanity ... The story of Dark Phoenix has already been told in X-Men: The Clash final in 2006, and it was one of the worst movies of the X-franchise. Thirteen years later, with the casting of the "new" X-Men, it's not so much better. The producer of the franchise Simon Kinberg, who replaces Bryan Singer (exiled from Hollywood on charges of sexual assault), behind the camera, fails to make Dark Phoenix the worthy song of the swan of the saga, which will be rebooted by Disney in the future. With the exception of one sequence (the energetic attack of a prison train in the last third, just turned by veteran stuntman Brian Smrz), the film is lazy and never gets up to the height of its subject epic. And, although located in 1992, it never relates to our real world. This is not a point of detail: the previous films of the X-franchise have always known (with the exception of The Final Clash, precisely) use our history - that of the Second World War in particular - to found their mutant mythology. Nothing like this here. Just a cast a little tired: fortunately Sophie Turner and Jessica Chastain put a little more conviction in their game, because Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy seem to wait for the end of their contract with impatience. U.S. too.
