"Dark Phoenix", despite being butchered by the studio, is a great and entertaining superhero movie.
Bad nerd hype and the lack of WOLVERINE (the box office power factor of the franchise) just killed it from a commercial standpoint.
Said that, I loved it. They got Cyclops, Phoenix and Nightcrawler right. McAvoy, Fassbender and Hoult were fantastic. There are some genuinely epic scenes here.
I think that, within the next 10 years, the movie will be appreciated by fans and casual viewers alike. Hopefully, it will make some serious business in the home video department.
I miss the Fox X-Men movies. They were brilliant, bleak and poignant.
