I didn't get the steelbook case everyone else got. Good movie but no wolverine and supposedly the last one of series.

This movie wasn't as bad as some reviewers led me to believe. I have stopped reading reviews of movies prior to watching them so I won't be misled by them. Jean Grey is an X-Men character that isn't all sweetness and light anyway. What makes helps to make the X-Men more interesting is that none of the characters are either all good or all evil. Even Magneto and Wolverine tried to lead "normal" lives before they were forced to resume their mutant misdeeds. I won't reveal any spoilers just in case you haven't seen it yet but just keep an open mind when you watch it.

While this was a fairly good example of the Dark Phoenix story, it does have flaws that cannot be ignored. Aliens are, suddenly and without explanation, added to the x-men universe and the movie really relies on the overdone issue of Professor X making bad decisions in the past that come back to haunt him. Despite these things, the movie was a lot better than most of the reviews give it credit for. If you have enjoyed the x-men movies until now, don't miss the ending. It is far from perfect, but it is still rather fun.

As a stand-alone movie, this one is great! However, I see why so many people bashed it when it first came out: It completely destroys any continuity established by the earlier X-men films. Most of this one takes place in 1992. If the first X-men movie was set in the time it was released (2000), then Dark Phoenix messes up a lot that was established in it and in the next two that followed. Anyway, as I said- great as a stand-alone film, just not good as part of the series.

If you're a dyed in the wool fan of the X-Men comics you'll find this adaptation of the Phoenix story a bit different than you remember but it's closer than the previous version to the classic storyline. That being said it's a pretty good movie, good action sequences, the storyline flows at a quick pace. Let's face though, it we're all waiting for the next reboot now that most of Marvel is "under one roof" over at Disney. A fitting close to 20th Century Fox's run.

I liked this movie and recommend it for all who like a super hero movie that takes itself seriously. No silly jokes in this movie, which seem to be the trend, nowadays. More psychological character discoveries in this movie than any of the other X-Men flix, or any other super hero movies, except perhaps the Dark Knight Batman movies. Also, good acting, action scenes that make sense, cinematography and CGI was also good.

This movie is NOT a masterpiece nor is it the best X-Men movie but it had an interesting and simple written plot and great CGI effects. Dark Phoenix is about exploring the past of an X-Men character (Jean Grey) and could be the beginning of a new Era. If all you want is a decent fantasy experience where you can momentarily get away from it all, then Dark Phoenix is a good recommendation.

"X-Men Dark Phoenix" is better than advertised. It is also a good Blu Ray with eight minutes of deleted scenes and eight featurettes with combine length of eighty minutes. There is an audio commentary from Simon Kinberg and Hutch Parker. There is an unnecessary 2 minute video from Nicholas Hoult about flying the jet. There is a digital code included from Movie Anywhere App.

Dark Phoenix continues the "young" X-Men storyline by focusing on Jean's transformation into the titular character. While this story was covered before (in X3), this version comes off better than the prior edition but still leaves a thin story. At the end, you'll feel OK that these X-Men are taking a bow to give way for their later re-entry into the MCU.

Bought this movie after seeing it in theaters. I enjoyed it, although it wasn't the greatest film in the franchise. Acting was good, but film felt a bit rushed. Could've been better, but was still entertaining, nonetheless. Steelbook wasn't too nice, so I went with the traditional slipcover in blu-ray.

I know the reviews for this movie were not the best, but I used to read these comic books as a kid. In fact, I still have the #1 X-Men comic book (actually, already bequeathed to my son). Watching the movie at home on my 65" Samsung with great surround sound system was rather enjoyable.

This movie got knocked by professional critics, but if you've seen the movies that came before it, it's a "must see" since it's the last film for most of these characters. Even if you're not a fan of the plot, there are many special features on this blu ray and dazzling special effects.

Finally priced right and had points to redeem. Movie had tremendous potential and just didn’t live up to X men standards. Felt like it was just to make a quick buck. If you’re not collecting the BR or HD id just watch it on Netflix or one of the other streamers

We didn't enjoy this X-Men as much as some of the others. It was certainly entertaining, but we found that we didn't really care as much about the fate of Jean Gray as some might. The movie was serviceable, just not in the same league as First Class or DoFP.

I really enjoyed this film. Acting was superb, cinematography was amazing and the storyline was most interesting. Great action and interest captivating. I purchased this movie for my collection. I would recommend this film to my friends for their enjoyment.

I heard a lot of bad reviews for this movie and I'm not sure why. I liked it a lot and while we know who the Phoenix is it was nice to see her back story more. There are a couple of small slip ups in the story line but most people won't even notice.

Sometimes the movie companies are going to the well once too often and audiences are presented with so-so experiences. The cast has been able to enjoy success in many other roles over the past several years and viewers come to have a reasonable understanding of abilities (no pun intended towards an X-Men movie) of actors. This picture is proof that either the storylines have just about dried up completely or the actors are just too easily able to out-preform their roles in the movie. Credit to them all for sticking with the franchise, but this just feels a bit too half-hearted and done to fulfill a franchise contract. It's not bad, it's okay, it's fine, but it's just not great.

Jean Grey absorbs some cosmic force that enhances her strength but also makes her somewhat uncontrollable. I sense a Phoenix Force takeover similar to the comic books. The movie is alright.

This film is fairly entertaining and fun to watch but really sort of the weak link in the newer xmen films. Hence the minus one star. The phoenix story line could have been handled better but this is still worth picking up when price is low.

The origin was similar to the comics, but not the rest of the story, which could of ranked this up there with Avengers Infinity War and Endgame, if it did. Amazing effects and good premise. The story lacked in substance. It’s still entertaining.
