![]() It makes for a bittersweet and somewhat disappointing end to a franchise that has been ongoing for almost two decades. The bad? When you discover the film's real villains you're probably going to be left a bit confused and reaching for your phone to do a quick Google. And the performances never make the film feel boring. The good? This time, it's a bit easier to stomach, mostly because Jean doesn't look possessed by a demon. "Dark Phoenix" is very much a do-over of one of the most divisive "X-Men" movie. If this all sounds familiar, it's because we've seen it played out before in a very different way in 2006's "X-Men: The Last Stand." That film saw an older Jean Grey unlock the power of the Phoenix. In turn, that surge of energy unlocks the Phoenix, a powerful part of Jean which has been locked away in her mind by Professor X (James McAvoy) to protect her and others from the uncontrollable force that starts to take her over. ![]() ![]() The 12th Marvel movie from 20th Century Fox follows Jean Grey (Sophie Turner) as she gets blasted by a cosmic force flare. "Dark Phoenix" isn't the worst "X-Men" movie in the franchise, but it's far from the best and that's a big letdown.
