Every 15 min an eye-rolling line, usually a Jennifer Lawrence scene, until she’s killed, which breaks up the gang into defenders and revengers. Jean should’ve died in space, instead absorbs incredible alien solar-flare virus powers. Bad call casting Jessica Chastain as an emotionless alien, and letting Sophie Turner carry the film. A really promising first half hour before it gets bad… either that, or the global pandemic that swept the country between when I started this movie and finished it affected my mood.<\/p>\n

Smurf love:<\/em>

Real Star Wars 3<\/em> energy, dutifully connecting the dots between the original<\/a> and the last prequel<\/a>… haha, this was Kinberg’s attempted redemption for writing X-Men 3<\/a><\/em>, also based on the Dark Phoenix<\/em> books, and he botched it again. Generic dialogue, feels first-drafty, even though wikipedia says the last act was reshot after test screenings.<\/p>\n

Jean vs. Chastain:<\/em>

Series creator Singer was off winning oscars for Bohemian Rhapsody<\/em> while having his production credits erased from this over child abuse charges. Still good, despite everything: Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee: Let Me In<\/em>, voice of ParaNorman<\/a><\/em>), Quicksilver (Evan Peters, in 100 episodes of American Horror Story<\/em>), Magneto (Fassbender!) and Storm (Alexandra Shipp was in Love Simon<\/em> between the last movie and this one).<\/p>\n

Jean starts turning people to dust, just like in part 3, which I thought we all agreed<\/a> was bad:<\/em>
