You could tell it's gonna be garbage right from the beginning because the 20th Century Fox fanfare doesn't do the X-Men music like every other one and they don't do the usual X-Men fanfare after the prologue.

This is what I'm talking about btw

It was okay. Less okay than Apocalypse, but still okay. No real reason for it to exist.

So much terrible acting in the movie. Even from actors who are actually decent actors. Like Nicholas Hoult.

Nothing memorable happened, though the train scene was interesting. The antagonists were barely explained and not even named.

I mean the main individuals at least. What was Jessica Chastain's character? Vuk? At least that's what the caption said but I never heard it said in the movie. And what were her powers? They didn't seem clearly defined.

They didn't really need to be clearly defined, they were a mysterious race to us (the viewer) and that was how the director wanted to portray it. We knew enough about them really. They infiltrated the government and were about 33% through running the US government.

It was a poor decision though since Dark Phoenix cost $200 million and only made $252 million, lowest out of every X-Men movie released:

Make us care about the villains. Captain Marvel did a better job with its aliens.

I haven't heard anyone else claim that, especially compared to Dark Phoenix. I went to look at some reviews and this one conveys my same gripe:

https://www.indiewire.com/2019/06/dark-phoenix-review-x-men-sophie-turner-1202147248/

At least Captain Marvel boasted a compelling race of alien villains who complicated the drama instead of snuffing it out. The ominous energy Dark Phoenix collects in its first scenes begins to drain away as soon as a vagabond group of shapeshifting extraterrestrials come to Earth, borrow Jessica Chastains body, and in an especially cruel touch dye her eyebrows as white as her wig. (Did the galaxy learn nothing from the cosmetic atrocities of the first Thor movie?) Chastain is excellent as always, but her character is so underwritten that youd be hard-pressed to remember its name. IMDB says its Vuk? Why not. Whatever the case, the baddie is little more than a devil on Jeans shoulder in the second act, and a convenient villain for her to fight in the third. Most of all, Vuk is a well-cast excuse to background Charles mind games in favor of some standard-issue alien blather about playing God.

Also, ranking:

8. Dark Phoenix
7. X-Men
6. X-Men: Apocalypse
5. X-Men: The Last Stand
4. X-Men: First Class
3. X2: X-Men United
2. X-Men: Days of Future Past
1. Logan

First Class and X2 are very close.

Mystique's make up looks offensively horrible in this movie, fuck, there are even better cosplays.

Rebecca Romijn looked way better back in the orinal trigoly.
