X-Men: Dark Phoenix film

[Divine Spark]

X-Men: Dark Phoenix | LIVE Red Carpet World Premiere on Marvel Entertainment.

The first RT review calls this “solid enough superhero filler”. Basically its entertaining but not as good as it should be.

lol Eric Garcetti (mayor of LA) declared today Dark Phoenix Day.

Disney must have given him a fat ass paycheck.

And without the core sense of these characters’ camaraderie and devotion to her, Dark Phoenix is a soulless retelling of one of the great arcs in comic book lore, and an all-too-fitting whimper of a conclusion to a franchise that never remotely fulfilled its potential.

I read that review. Expected criticisms like that to happen. Think you should always judge a film on its own terms.

I will, but people have been waiting to see critical reactions with the embargo. The first two are up and neither are positive.

They confirm a lot of fears about the film. (Namely that the relationships are developed enough)

At least the first one says its entertaining enough. Going offline for a couple of days. Want to go in with zero expectations.

"It's entertaining enough" isn't what you'd call high praise, especially for the early reviews that skew more positive.

Omg, looking at the frozen video above. Lay off the meth Evan P.

I saw that still and I was like, is he ok? He doesn’t look ok...

It’s sad, but i’ll probably see Secret life of pets before I see this...

When I typed that I didn’t realize that the movie was actually opening against secret life of pets... whose thought that was a good idea?

Eh, Secret Life of Pets 2 is getting dragged as well at the moment. Competition this weekend hardly looks fierce.

So funny seeing the Marvel channel with their reporters and all on a FoX-Men movie premier lool.

You should judge the film for yourself...

That's where I got the quote from. That sounds like an X-men fan.

All of the concerns are ones I shared as likelihoods given the idiot in charge and the poor build-up to the film in previous films. I'll be curious to see more reviews come out. If the bulk of them sound like this, I think we know what we have here.
