X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)
Sequel to 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse and not as good, mainly because i dislike the character of Dark Phoenix. All powerful superhero characters piss me off no end and Dark Phoenix is no exception.
The story's smaller in scale - basically the X-Men searching for Jean Grey (Sophie Turner) before she's manipulated by another all super powerful being into becoming Dark Phoenix and destroying everything, everywhere all at once or some other similar bollocks.
There are some good set pieces and some cool character moments but ultimately this was disappointing.
No appearance from Wolverine either which loses the film marks. We'll have to wait for Deadpool 3 next year for the return of Hugh Jackman's Logan.
