Doesnt Rise from the Flames but not a shit show!
Dark Phoenix feels more like a spin off X-men film than a proper entry to the franchise. For one thing the budget seems to be way low, no citywide destruction or epic scale fights are visible, the other thing is… since it no longer Bryan singer at the helm, the intro is missing. The way X-men title comes in is different too and it sets the tone for a rest of the film. Speaking of Bryan Singer, the Critics hated X-men Apocalypse. I found it just fine! It was a bit of a drag on the similar concepts as before and Days of future Past was so innovative that maybe the next one wasn’t as well received but I liked the scope and scale of it. It was huge destruction and high stakes. Dark Phoenix... |
