After nearly two decades, the 20th Century Fox X-Men movies are finished. Because Disney has purchased Fox’s entertainment assets, Dark Phoenix will be the last X-Men film featuring the team before Marvel Studios takes over the franchise. Unfortunately, Dark Phoenix was greeted by poor reviews and a disappointing $33 million opening weekend. But did it really deserve such a negative response? We want to know what the Superhero Hype community thinks about it! This post is a place for all of you to leave your own reviews, thoughts, or anything else you want to say about Dark Phoenix.

Dark Phoenix marks the directorial debut of long-time X-Men screenwriter and producer Simon Kinberg. Chris Claremont and John Byrne’s The Dark Phoenix Saga was a seminal story that helped make Uncanny X-Men a sensation in 1980 and beyond. X-Men: The Last Stand also attempted to adapt elements of The Dark Phoenix Saga. In theory, Dark Phoenix was supposed to be a chance to get it done right this time.
Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones) reprises her role as Jean Grey. James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender co-star as Professor X and Magneto, respectively. Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Evan Peters also return from the previous X-Men movies. Jessica Chastain also stars in the movie as the primary villain.
