Turner’s damaged conviction holds Dark Phoenix together, giving it a treacherous life force.

While not entirely successful, the film’s sense of finality gives the main players space to grow, unhampered by the usual carousel of upcoming sequels and spin-offs.

Which points us to the real issue with this film and so many like it. These super heroic and super histrionic spectacles are multiplying so rapidly that they are recycling their own tropes at such a rate that it is almost impossible to be surprised anymore.

Rather than being thought-provoking or streamlined, instead Dark Phoenix is a frustratingly anticlimactic, familiar tale of misunderstood mutants.

For all the energetic hurling around of heavy machinery, the movie feels inert and lazy.

The film is an all-too-fitting whimper of a conclusion to a franchise that never remotely fulfilled its potential.

Superheroes do progressive politics these days as a matter of course, and here it just feels like shtick – a box to be dutifully checked, rather than a theme to be meaningfully explored.

This is likely comparable to X-Men 3. Regrettably, it appears to be an unfinished mashup of many sequences. The acting was excellent, but the script was terrible, and Hans Zimmer, who I adore, delivered a really forgettable tune. Sorry to see such a successful series come to an end. I believe this movie was badly edited.

While it was entertaining to watch and I have liked X-Men movies for many years, the story itself was pretty simple and without much to it that would make it for great movie. It was entertaining as X-Men movies usually are but plot wise it was quite predictable

I'll be honest: I think this one is even worse than X-Men: Apocalypse. Not only is it a plot nonsense, but it laughs in the face of those who take into consideration the plot of the previous films, magically changing the characters' way of being, to highlight that of Professor X. A disgrace.
