Movies DARK PHOENIX v.2 (Dragonlord's Review)

[Amerikuracana]

Maybe not that long. Imagine the pop the Avengers movie will get if Hugh Jackman as Wolverine shows up

What avenger movie? I won't see any other one of those for 5 years either. Gotg3, and maybe DS2, maybe.

There's your answer. Women can't run franchises. Look at Kennedy and the abortion she turned Star Wars into. Get Woke, go Broke

Time to get back in the bedroom and the kitchen, girls, and leave the important stuff to the men

"Franchise fatigue" is an excuse for bad movie makers that can't even sell X-Men or Star Wars movies. Marvel made 22 movies over 11 years and End Game has made 2.6 billion dollars. The latest iteration of X-men has had what, 4 or 5 movies? Same with Star Wars.

Hollywood is so full of itself and entitled that they think as long as they stick a franchise name sticker on a movie they deserve a billion dollars regardless of quality. People are sick of it and want movies actually worth watching.

And yes, Kathleen Kennedy is completely useless. The only reason she hasnt been fired is because she is a woman.

Oh, and when they do the reboot? Cyclops and Colosses need to be the leaders, outside of Xavier. We need more of the original team, in the correct order. They made colosses a fkn joke, and in the comics he was one of the stronger X-Men.. He could never hurt or beat juggernaut, but they would battle.

Feige has already said they have no plans for X-Men in the next 5 years. So I guess they are doing a full reboot and getting new actors for all the roles. Something YoungRippa59 (on youtube) said that they will probably do is use this "multiple universes" to just have X-Men and Fantastic 4 as already established teams and come in without having a very big build up.

That's a decent idea.. No way another origin story works.

Big X-Men comic fan from back in the day so even though I have reservations about their casting choices I always end up enjoying the films. Even though I have criticisms I generally like it. That being said it will be good to see where the go after the reset

 

[Feniamin]

I read a rumor that she was Sinister and never read where it was denied and that they kept her role very secret.
It was even rumored more recently that she might be Cassandra Nova. If they confirmed she was an alien, I never saw it.

If I'm not mistaken Kinberg were calling her alien shapeshifter. And I think in promotion, like press or how they call that short info about plot that with which they were promoting movie before the release, Chastain's character was called alien.
And if I'm not wrong earlier this year Kinberg were saying and it was quoted on movie's wiki page that Chastain's character in movie combines elements of characters like Mastermind, Cassandra Nova and some others.

Wow. I didn't realize how overrated DOFP was around here. I liked it more than Apocalypse and First Class but I don't think it holds a candle to X1 or X2. I'd put it on par with The Last Stand. It was nice having some of the original cast back but it still stank thanks to the new cast and poor writing

You are waaaaaay off base. DOFP is not only hands down the GOAT X-Men movie to date but its also firmly in the top 5-10 all time for comic book movies.

DOFP
First Class
X2
X1
Dark Phoenix
Apocolypse
Last Stand



DOFP was great not just because it seamlessly combined both casts but also because it did the best job of any movie to fix past mistakes in a believable fashion. Unfortunately they let it go completely to waste in the two subsequent sequels.

I liked it.

I rewatched all the X-Men movies over the last couple months and honestly as a whole they are just as good as the MCU movies as a whole.

For every Guardians of the Galaxy there was a Thor 1. And for every Infinity War there was an Ironman 2. People forget how bad some of the MCU movies have been.

And people gloss over the shitty MCU movies and only focus on the good ones and then gloss over the good X Men movies and only focus on the shitty ones.

Overall I think X Men works better as a TV show. My favorite part of this movie was the first 20 minutes, which felt like an episode of a good X Men TV show.

So when does the Fox licensing for the X-men universe movies expire so it can go back to Marvel Studios?

All of the Fox properties were bought by Disney, which also owns Marvel Studios of course, so technically they could make an X-Men movie whenever they want. Dark Phoenix will be the final Fox-Men movie, except for possibly New Mutants scheduled for release next year, but I doubt that ever gets released.

Im waiting for Silver Surfer to have his own movie at Marvel Studios and not just fight a cloud like in his last appearance

John Wick 3, a very HARD R rating almost doubled this opening... flol.

People act like characters didn't get killed off and randomly brought back or that silly storylines weren't ignored and forgotten in the comics too.

I don't understand why people want to hold the movies up to a standard that comic books have never lived up to.

John Wick 3, a very HARD R rating almost doubled this opening... flol.

John Wick took out Godzilla, Pokemon, Dark Phoenix and Secret Lives of Pets LOL. They were all projected and predicted to make more than John Wick 3 before the start of the summer. By the end of the summer, it will be in the top 7 of money makers during that season behind Avengers, Lion King, Toy Story 3, Alladin and Spiderman. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood may make more than JW3 not sure

Godzilla I can KIND of get, people are either into or hate monster movies...

But Pets AND Dark Phoenix all while being rated R? That's some impressive shit.

Probably has more to do with the other movies bombing but regardless its impressive especially how the franchise's box office keeps increasing each movie. I think the 4th movie will open to 75 million

Hes a great actor but he was in some shitty films and honestly will be easy to replace. Once someone puts on the costume he will be forgotten

Nonsense. He was just as iconic as RDJ's Iron Man and will be just as hard to replace.

The only way to do it will be to cast someone perfect: an unknown, 5'8" insanely musclebound Canadian, and give him an R Rated debut where he gets to dismember and disembowel to his heart's content.

The days of R rated tentpole films being verboten are behind us.

This is the era of the manbaby.
