Dark Phoenix 2019

Uninspired acting by a cast that seemed to be as underwhelmed by the script as I was. A lame, anticlimactic ending. Pacing problems from start to finish. A story that relied on various X-Men being their own worst enemies as they repeatedly and consistently did the absolute worst and most wrong and stupidest things possible among the options available to them at a given time. And tying it all together? A series of scenes that were poorly strung together that seemed to be more the result of a forced decision to get from A to B to C than anything even remotely "organic." And I say that as someone who hates using the term "organic" in a context like this. But the plot really was just a bunch of square pegs being pounded into round holes time and time again. Watching so much wasted potential was not entertaining. At all.
