“Dark Phoenix is a movie I didn’t hate as much as I thought I would. It’s still bad for sure, a mostly dull and eventless film that was doomed from its inception. We all knew it would be, the last 20th Century Fox film to be pumped out before they finally relinquished the rights to Disney. There was no incentive to try. Everyone involved with its production seems uninterested in its outcome. The actors all lazily read their lines, many of the action involves people being tossed into walls, and really, not much happens. The music is by far the best part, and way too good for this picture. Hans Zimmer’s score acts like an unintentional lullaby, and softens the deep sleep this movie will put you under.”
