User blog:Biondipastas/Noah's Thoughts on X-Men: Dark Phoenix

So... these are my thoughts on X-Men: Dark Phoenix. I remember after the credits rolled, there was, like, no post-credits scene, and I was so angry I screamed in the theater, but there was nobody there so at least I got to have a moment all alone. I don't think anyone really cared about this movie, nobody really cares about the X-Men movies anymore, but I wanted a good bridge that connects X-Men: Apocalypse and 2000's X-Men. And as much as I really didn't like X-Men: Apocalypse, at least it had that one scene where we saw Wolverine running into the snowy forest where X-Men picks up from where that left off, even if the movie is absolutely confusing. Did Wolverine hang out there for 17 years (the time between X-Men: Apocalypse and X-Men)? I don't know! But yeah, my big problem with this movie is that it messed with the whole X-Men movie timeline once again (as if X-Men: Apocalypse didn't screw it up enough) by putting in the Phoenix saga despite being adressed in not only X-Men: Apocalypse but also having it happen in the GODDAMN FUTURE MOVIES like X-Men: The Last Stand and even X2: X-Men United. Not only have we seen this before, but it screws around with Jean Grey's Dark Phoenix saga and how the timeline actually works. There's some pretty bad casting and other non-Dark Phoenix related timeline continuity screw-ups in this movie too; Michael Fassbender's Magneto is supposed to be 62 in this movie, even though he looks like he's in his forties. Also, Mystique dies in this movie (big shock; even the trailers showed that) which is really stupid because it once again screws around with the original X-Men trilogy because we see Mystique appear in the entire trilogy. So yeah, overall, really confusing and stupid movie, probably one of the worst X-Men movies ever, absolutely messes up the timeline. Boring action, boring characters, boring visuals, it's boring and frustrating. My rating is a 4/10. Not the worst movie ever, but if you think you know the X-Men timeline, prepare for this movie to sucker punch you in the balls.
