This is the end of the line for the mutants since Marvel now owns the intellectual property.
Can X-Men: Dark Phoenix redo the classic comic story correctly, that was infamously terrible the first time (in X-Men: The Last Stand), while using the same writer?
I've got a baaaaad feeling about this...
From Google:
"This is the story of one of the X-Men’s most beloved characters, Jean Grey (Sophie Turner), as she evolves into the iconic DARK PHOENIX. During a life-threatening rescue mission in space, Jean is hit by a cosmic force that transforms her into one of the most powerful mutants of all. Wrestling with this increasingly unstable power as well as her own personal demons, Jean spirals out of control, tearing the X-Men family apart and threatening to destroy the very fabric of our planet. The film is the most intense and emotional X-Men movie ever made. It is the culmination of 20 years of X-Men movies, as the family of mutants that we’ve come to know and love must face their most devastating enemy yet -- one of their own."
Now first off in this movie's defence, they had to redo the antagonists and the end of the movie once Marvel bought Fox so that it wouldn't remind/confuse people with the upcoming Captain Marvel movie.
That must have hamstrung the story, but...
The aliens are inconsistent.
Mutant abilities are inconsistent and/or used nonsensically.
There is some good acting and drama in this film, but the negatives dragged it down.
On a plus side they did kill Mystique! (I really hated that character.)
To think that this is how this franchise ended, not with a bang, but with a whimper is sad.
WATCH IT IF YOU WANNA SEE THE END.

PS: How is this movie set (supposedly) in the 1990s and Professor X, Magneto, and anyone else have not aged at all!?
PPS: The X-Men timeline makes absolute NEGATIVE sense!!!
