A Phoenix will rise. The X-Men will fall.
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.

65/100 Jean Grey (Phoenix) absorbs a cosmic force that may force her to save the world or destroy it. At this point, if you're trying to place the X-Men movies into a logical timeline, stop it or you'll hurt yourself. Just go into this one as a person who's familiar with the characters and ignore all the other films, is the best suggestion I can make for optimal enjoyment. And, there's a lot to enjoy. The quality is there, great character development, simple but engrossing story, and loaded with action and spec fx. May not fit in with the other films but still extremely well done. -- DrNostromo.com

The worst part about this is that (almost) everyone on screen is trying so fucking hard, but the writing completely sinks it. The entire plot relies on everyone in the story acting wildly out of character, it has the worst villain of an X-Men movie, and Quicksilver, the most promising new character introduced in the series, is completely sidelined and wasted. And on top of that, nothing ever comes of him being Magneto's son. Magneto never even finds out. While Days of Future Past was great, the whole idea of this new series set in the past was just so ill-conceived it hurts. It could've been great, but it was squandered by lots of genuinely stupid decisions. Like, why the hell do these movies take place over like forty years? No one ages that entire time and none of the movies past DOFP even make good use of their time periods. So why even do it if all it does is make everything make no sense? That scene in DOFP showing this timelines future is kind of pointless after this one. How could any of these characters convincingly age up to that point from the 90's? It's just such a fucking mess, it's completely baffling. Hopefully whatever Disney has planned for the X-Men is a lot better thought out.

I don't understand the point of this movie. It seems to be attempting a copy-paste of Endgame's success, while jumping to making Jean the Phoenix _immediately_, just like the X2 and X3 films, which were both criticized for this very thing! Why make Charles the villain? I think most viewers can agree, blocking Jean's mind was the right thing to do. Sophie Turner's acting in this film was also particularly poor. The performances by McAvoy, Lawrence, Fassbender, and Peters were what keeps this film from the 10% in my books. Trash.

Well... I thought The Last Stand was bad. You know, the movie where they took one of the most classic of classic legendary Claremont X-Men stories and merged it with a Joss Whedon X-Men story line that had nothing to do with Dark Phoenix and.... just lost the plot entirely. I mean that was pretty bad. This is worse. This is ultra woke Politically Correct kinda Ghostbusters 2016, they have a message about genderstudies that trumps the story and didn't you know that everyone of a certain race, gender, and sexuality is absolute evil even if they have a long history of being the good guy sort of plot. And, in the end, it even had less to do with the Dark Phoenix Saga than the Last Stand did. Source material... even X-Men story in name only... and I mean that even after X-Men lost the Marvel Flagship marquee status and did the same downward trajectory as, well, as the X-Men reboot did.

I've been a huge X-Men fan for many years. I especially loved the comic dark Phoenix saga. This movie was a travesty. It was a train wreck from the moment it started and never got any better only got worse. It had nothing to do with the storyline of dark Phoenix like in the comics. The lineup wasnt the same... No wolverine, no hellfire club... I can go on and on and pick this movie apart but I really don't have the time nor do I wish to. Simply put dark Phoenix sucks. The only saving grace to this film is James McAvoy who even in this movie was overshadowed by the stupidity of The angst. It's a shame they didn't do the true story of dark Phoenix because that would have been a good movie. I thought at the end of apocalypse when you see the Phoenix rise from out of Jean you would get that in this movie but it seems that whoever wrote the script and whoever directed this decided that the stupid teeny angst bullcrap was more important than the true story of who dark Phoenix was. Avoid this movie.

This had the potential to be the best of the franchise; bur sadly it isn't/wasn't/never will be. It's an amalgam of loose acting right from the start with neither James McAvoy's more mobile version of "Xavier" nor Michael Fassbender's anything but magnetic "Erik" managing to inject anything like enough to liven this dreary and repetitive story up. Then there's the mediocre writing and special effects that we have seen so many times before. It goes nowhere, but never quickly enough as the ending seems tantalisingly close, but takes way too long to arrive. It'll be fine on the telly on a dark winter's evening, but that's about it.
