X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)
Enjoyable and never boring
I watched this movie expecting to turn the tv off right after the first five minutes and found myself really entertained throughout the whole movie.
The CGI effects and action scenes are top notch. The continuous use of music brings a lot of depth to the storyline.
Overall I enjoyed this movie, certainly not as much as X-MEn and X-Men II from the first franchise. The actors and the storylines were the real deal back then, but this movie makes up for the last X-Men movies (with the exception of Future Past) which were seriously lacking in likeable characters and surprising action scenes.
Even though I never got past Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart in the franchise and could never identify with the McAvoy/ Fassbender duo in previous movies, I actually warm up to them in this one. Most actors do a good job here. But let's face it Sophie Turner is no Famke Janssen, and don't get me started on Jennifer Lawrence .......
Anyway this movie does not the deserve all the bad reviews it has been getting, and certainly needs higher ratings. It is not a waste of time ! Again never boring and great action scenes. It is entertaining as a stand alone movie.
