Dark Phoenix
Synopsis
The X-Men face their most formidable and powerful foe when one of their own, Jean Grey, starts to spiral out of control. During a rescue mission in outer space, Jean is nearly killed when she's hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. The X-Men must now band together to save her soul and battle aliens that want to use Grey's new abilities to rule the galaxy.

As much as I did love X-men series I hated Dark Phoenix. I couldnt help myself comparing the old series with a new wave(or whatever you may call it) of mutants, this was just wrong.
First things first: Dear Marvel, we all kind of got the idea that you respect and celebrate women’s empowerment, you can stop now, seriously. It was ok in Avengers Endgame, but now you keep promoting this idea in almost every movie you make. I appreciate the fact that I’m a woman, but I honestly think that those moments don’t work, it makes me roll my eyes each time I see how much more powerful women can be over men. Ok. I got this feeling that I saw a bad version of Captain Marvel, with almost the same style, the same universal creatures appearing, the same effects and even colour modes of main characters. Like, you’ve learned how to turn people to beautiful dust and you decided to use the same effect. It was the same with the glow around Jane and Captain Marvel - something cosmic, with bunch of colour, showing that they’re not from here.
But what I find the worst is that you’ve abandoned previous story, ignored such a beautiful series of previous X-Men that it didn’t even make sense anymore. Why would you ruin something that amazing and turn it to dust, as the same effect you were using for past couple of movies. Oh, and to add cherry on top - I felt the effects were so badly executed, you could do a better job on that. And i keep remembering the same old X-Men, could you keep it the same simple?
It was a huge disappointment for me, I had high hopes for Dark Phoenix, but I just waisted my time.

"Dark Phoenix," directed by Simon Kinberg, is a superhero film that attempts to delve into the complex and powerful story of Jean Grey's transformation into the Phoenix. The film is part of the X-Men franchise and stars Sophie Turner as Jean Grey, alongside an ensemble cast including James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, and Jessica Chastain.
The plot centers on Jean Grey, who, during a mission in space, absorbs a mysterious cosmic force that amplifies her powers to uncontrollable levels. As Jean grapples with her new abilities and dark impulses, the X-Men must confront the threat she poses to the world and to their team.
While "Dark Phoenix" aims to provide a character-driven narrative focusing on Jean Grey's internal struggle, it often falls short in execution. The film's pacing feels rushed, and key emotional beats and character developments are not given enough time to resonate. Sophie Turner delivers a strong performance, capturing Jean's turmoil and vulnerability, but the script doesn't fully explore the depth of her transformation.
The action sequences are visually impressive but can feel formulaic and lack the emotional weight needed to elevate the story. The supporting cast, including McAvoy and Fassbender, offer solid performances, though they are underutilized in the narrative.
Overall, "Dark Phoenix" attempts to tackle one of the most iconic storylines in X-Men lore but is hampered by a lack of depth and uneven storytelling. While it has moments of intrigue and strong performances, it ultimately doesn't live up to the potential of its source material.

The ending did not satisfy everyone, but I think it was a very good movie, and Sophie Turner's acting added a great taste to the film.

They did not know how to exploit the character of Fenix 100% by giving more prominence to another who did not deserve it
