Dark Phoenix Reviewed As Worst X-Men Film in Franchise

The Dark Phoenix reviews are in and it appears that everyone has one thing in common, and that is the X-Men franchise deserved a better end than this.

Read on to see what the Dark Phoenix reviews are saying because it is NOT positive at all…

CelebNMovies247.com has the latest Dark Phoenix reviews and if you’re like us, we are still going to go watch it and judge for ourself.

Here is what is being said about the latest X-Men installment called Dark Phoenix which is a revamp of X-Men: The Last Stand which was one of the weakest films in the first 3 movies.

Polygon Dark Phoenix review is grim:

Dark Phoenix is yet another speech. It’s less a disaster, as word of reshoots and calendar-hopping signaled to devotees, than a let down. Pegged in the post-Avengers: Endgame weeks as the “final battle” of 20th Century Fox’s X-men franchise, the film brings Xavier and his band of crime-fighting mutants to their bleakest moment, dealing with trauma inflicted on one of their own by one of their own. Secrets are unraveled, foes become allies in showdowns between friends, and a series known in the last decade for colorful, comic book camp takes a psychological turn that would shatter expectations.

Rolling Stone gives the movie the worst review of them all:

Dark Phoenix doesn’t just suck big time. It’s the worst movie ever in the X-Men series. That’s 12 films since the first X-Men in 2000. Even series low points — that’s you X-Men Apocalypse — offered compensations. Dark Phoenix just lies there like a dying fish, futilely flapping about on land while it waits for the inevitable dying of the light. The degree of awfulness is surprising since the man falling into the abyss with this Phoenix is debuting director Simon Kinberg, who has served long and well as the series producer and sometimes screenwriter.

While, The Chicago Tribune lets us know the finale X-Men movie lacks spark, fire or anything to keep moviegoers interested:

When the “Dark Phoenix” action climax disappointed test audiences last year, new scenes were written and filmed, though the prologue remained the same. Writer-director Simon Kinberg has used words like “traumatic” in interviews to describe his film’s tone and themes, and this latest in 19 years’ worth of occasionally good “X-Men” pictures. The new one says so-long to certain major players, and Kinberg’s dialogue is heavy on reflective boilerplate such as Jennifer Lawrence (in her fourth assignment as Mystique) sighing to her fellow mutant, Beast (Nicholas Hoult): “Maybe it’s time for us to move on.” Actually, I think that lyric goes “Maybe it’s time to let the old ways die.”
