Jesus that movie was so fucking dull. Holy shit.

The recent X-Men films have this weird, uncanny (pun intended) ability to make me look back at the bad movies in the franchise and appreciate them more, while simultaneously kind of lowering the quality of the ones that were considered good.

I like First Class, but it gets kind of meh when I really think about it. Love DoFP even though it's kind of all over the place. Apocalypse sucked ass and Dark Phoenix somehow managed to be even worse.
The original trilogy don't hold up too well to me. And yet, I have a newfound appreciation for The Last Stand and Origins Wolverine. They're goofy as fuck, but damn, at least they're kind of fun to watch and laugh at.

I'm really curious what the reason was that drove you to this.

I appreciate that studios always use the Dark Phoenix story right before they burn that iteration of the franchise to the ground to resurrect it with a hard/soft reboot. It's fitting. Poetic really.

My roommate have HBO Max we saw it on there and was confused for it bit and said fuck it. Let's laugh at a bad movie.

It managed to not only be very boring, but also somehow worse than Apocalypse.

You can thank Simon Kinberg for that. I'm starting to think he get some sort of sexual pleasure out of shitting up the Dark Phoenix Saga.

It happens. One day a few years ago I got it in my head that I was going to waste a day on this earth watching a handful of presumably-bad blockbusters I'd avoided up to that point - Ghostbusters 2016, TMNT 2 (the newest one), and Suicide Squad (I also watched Kung Fu Panda 3, but I correctly assumed that one would at least be enjoyable). To this day I still don't know how or why I sat through Suicide Squad from start to finish.

The last few movies are missing some sort of spark. Not sure why.

I made the mistake of seeing Suicide Squad in theaters. One of those awful movies that actually makes me mad when I think back on it.

Having seen all the others (including both X Mren Origins Wolverine), would you say it's worth watching for completeness sake?

When he was holding onto that helecopter, you can see Jean struggling not to laugh in the background, you can actually see her laugh. The movie is that badly made.

Dark Phoenix is missing a climax. Theres some generic fight on a train, Jean talks to the alien lady and then the movie ends.

No. I say that as someone who watched it for that very reason.

Honestly, this is what it kept reminding me of. And guess who was the executive producer of that movie as well...

The train fight the climax, and it was the single best showering that Nightcrawler got in the entire movie series. It was awesome.

Jean talks to the alien lady and then the movie ends.

That uh...was not how the movie ended. wat.

the opening to X2 tops it, unless you disqualify that because he was under mine control.

I dont like what the new movies did with Nightcrawler. He looked like a doofus

I don't even remember X2 it was so bad. Was that the one with high-school Rogue and Ice Man being all angsty the entire movie?

It's odd watching Mystique and Nightcrawler on the same team between two movies and making the concious decision to not touch on the fact that they're suppose to be mother and son.

I get taking liberties and doing different interpretations and all that jazz. But he's still taking the main traits from the two characters that are suppose to be his parents -- Mystique and Azazel (who was in First Class). It's just such a weird thing to ignore for seemingly no reason.
