First X-Men: Dark Phoenix Reactions Hit Social Media
To say that X-Men: Dark Phoenix has had a rocky road to release would be a bit of an [...]
Underwhelming Conclusion
#DarkPhoenix is a fairly underwhelming conclusion to the #XMen saga. It has some highlights, mostly Michael Fassbender’s Magneto, cool action sequences, and an amazing score why Hans Zimmer but it lacks a hearty emotional core and definitely suffered from reshoots. pic.twitter.com/UtCH2K2mp5

Michael Fassbender kind of seemed like the only person who really tried in #DarkPhoenix. pic.twitter.com/WRSpkjzigB

prevnextI’m not even sure if Jessica Chastain’s character has a name in the theatrical cut of #DarkPhoenix and I’ve seen the movie.

Entirely Unremarkable
prevnextReview tomorrow morning, but #XMen #DarkPhoenix is slightly better than you feared while still being almost entirely unremarkable in almost every way. This franchise deserved a better finale. Warts and all, X-MEN: THE LAST STAND (which I don't hate) is a better movie. pic.twitter.com/3iCnqTJxQl

Beautiful Character Moments
prevnextDespite the press about production problems, #DarkPhoenix earns its rightful place in the #XMen series. With a somewhat episodic story, it contains several rather beautiful character moments - thanks to a committed cast - and engaging action. Zimmer's score is the secret weapon. pic.twitter.com/kuqDynRnis

Incredibly Disappointing
prevnextA number of the X-Men movies are some of my favorite superhero movies... #DarkPhoenix is not among them. It feels like the franchise is being put out of its misery rather than a powerful finish. Uneven, dull and at times looks cheap... incredibly disappointing. pic.twitter.com/4htTgP9AcO

Utterly Boring
#DarkPhoenix is serviceable at times but utterly boring and pointless. The #XMen era ends with a complete whimper. Fassbender seemed to be the only one that wanted to be there. Feel free to skip

prevnextSuch a frustrating movie. I love the X-Men. The franchise soft reboot had so much potential. But this cheap looking barely coherent mess is how you end it? #DarkPhoenix is the most disappointing movie since The Hobbit

Just Whelmed
prevnextI liked #DarkPhoenix more than I thought I would. It had some of the coolest action shots we’ve seen from the main X-men franchise. It’s better than #XMenApocalypse which is all I was really hoping for tbh. I’m whelmed. pic.twitter.com/s8UO9zP2rg

Too Rushed
prevnext#DarkPhoenix is like if the MCU had introduced Captain America in the first Avengers and then immediately made Civil War. It asks you to care about characters you have no connection to. Even if everything else was perfect, this story comes way too early in the series to work.

Could Use Some Laughs
prevnextMy review of #DarkPhoenix is that X-Men: Apocalypse was at least funny

Not the Worst
prevDark Phoenix isn’t the worst X-Men movie which is saying a lot. It’s got some good ideas and cool set pieces but there’s a lot of eye-rolling to be had and it’s ultimately forgettable. It’s been a good ride, but time for a reset. pic.twitter.com/dhbpm7gMWD
