I LOVED THIS! DON'T BELIEVE CRITICS
This movie not only made up for the "misstep" X-men: The Last Stand in using The Phoenix Saga, it re-imagined many other pieces for in the comic story and did an excellent job in having to re-tool an important piece due to Captain Marvel putting it in their movie. (The Skrulls are in the original comics of The Phoenix/Dark Phoenix Saga not in Captain Marvel's story but Disney/Marvel/ James Cameron's "Alita "and money pushed this movie back slowing them to get there first.) It hits all of the important points of Jean's story and is filled with great action fights, mutants using their powers, they get them off the ground, there are characters we get a glimpse of that are included in her original story, Xavier's motives are exposed, frustrations, vengeance, Genosha, Dazzler, Selene(The Black Queen-Hellfire Club). The alien race D'Bari that the Phoenix destroyed by eating their sun (in the comics) are introduced with motives of their own..... This movie is great and critics have been crapping on it since last year, before any of us could see it and before it was done, planting negative seeds, taking things out of context, judging the actors, making false assumptions, so that when it didn't reach monetary equality, they scoffed and said "told ya". All it takes is a word to ruin a person or a thing and they used several. It's lackluster attendence is solely critics fault and bad studio timing, again. They soured the public's mind on things that we haven't seen and the studio, only thinking about what is going to get them the best money, over think themselves into a failure and all put the blame on the movie. THEY ARE WRONG. Even the director apologized for it's failing, not because it was bad, but because by the numbers, it didn't connect with people that did NOT see it and with some that did..." (Even people that didn't even see it had an opinion???) it is a shame that it doesn't get the praise it deserves. They did a great job on everything. (I Only wish we had more time, like with the Avengers characters, To get to spend and get to know these characters as long, it would've made the emotional pull greater, as it was for Endgame) Hopefully fans will come through and people that aren't easily seated will still see it and enjoy. Family lost, Family found. Life, Death and new Life again. A Phoenix Story. I will own this
