If youβre looking for a movie about Jean Grey, keep looking. Dark Phoenix is an exercise in frustration that manages to be both boring and grating at the same time. The character work is non-existent, and the "cosmic" stakes feel remarkably small and irritating. Itβs a painful watch that makes you wish the "Phoenix Force" would just end the movie early. Save yourself the headache and skip this one entirely

The X-Men face their most formidable and powerful foe when one of their own, Jean Grey, starts to spiral out of control. During a rescue mission in outer space, Jean is nearly killed when she's hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. The X-Men must now band together to save her soul and battle aliens that want to use Grey's new abilities to rule the galaxy.
