I felt the same!!!!! However, it might have been hard since QS was left out of so many scenes. I would totally see a movie with just the two of them, father and son lol
looked at chapter times... saw Jessica Chastain. made me laugh so hard cuz i know already (even without watching the movie) what Grace gonna say about her. legends say that you give hearts for first responders
So I watched this movie and I don't understand the "We should rename it to the X-Women line", they literally flew a plane into space completely built by Beast, Cyclops blasted the ship to stop it from spinning, Storm froze the openings in the ship, Nightcrawler and Quicksilver saved all the astronauts, and Jean saved them from the pheonix force. Seemed like a team effort, except Mystique did nothing.
The X-Men movie franchise has (to varying degrees) great female characters: Jean, Storm, Rogue, Mystique, but how many times did they save the day? And how many times was the day saved by the men? I guess equal amounts of time. Yeah, the line makes as much sense as their jet in the 60ies onwards
Plus Mystique comes up with the name "The X-Men" in X-Men first class. And I'm pretty sure in the comics its explained that men means human, that's why its Women and men, women are humans with a womb, and men are humans without. X-men are humans with the mutant X gene / in Professor X's team.
Problems 1) Quick Silver Sidelined 2) Poor pacing and an abrupt ending battle that felt out of place and random 3) They didnt commit to the Alien plot (probably because that was changed in reshoots) 4) Bad script pacing as it felt like nothing happened until the last 20 minutes when everything happened
Gene Bijou it’s not sick it’s true. Grace is right about Jessica. She doesn’t hate her personally, she just looks at it from a business side of things. And Jessica is bad for buisiness. It’s just how it is.
@@adamsbriee6330 Really? Business side and yet she continually lambasted Chastain at every opportunity she gets not to mention her criticizing Jessica on the new It 2 trailer. And when did you became business savvy to make it okay to hate on a person for "business reason".
I'd like to see them limited to periods that aren't in living memory. Or at least not living memory for a lot of people -- I was an adult in the 1990s. I don't want to relive it since I lived it the first time.
blaine stevens I think all decades should be fair game for telling good stories period pieces make it sound more of an important choice than it is the default doesn’t need to be now there is nothing inhibiting it from being in any other decades it can add a little something more to films that require it
Yes, to me Last Stand was an utter wimper and really bad way to end a franchise. Unfortunately, Apocalypse was that movie in this franchise, but we got a much better "not so good" movie in Dark Phoenix. For me the real saving grace of this franchise is "Days of Future Past". If that wasn't there, I would have no reason at all to rewatch anything here.
You Mean the movie you never saw and the one that throws away all movies in the series before it lol no try again and actually use words to discuss the movie
This series honestly has annoyed me so much after Jennifer Lawrence took over as Mystique. The studio decided to continue the series to cash in on Jlaw by making her a main character and even a central part of the story, this has made the series contrived, dull, and soulless.
Grace...Kurt needed a helmet because the main compartment, at the time he was to go back, still had full integrity but the commander he was to rescue...was in a different compartment that had been breached with all O2 gone.
this is true everytime a marvel or dc or any movie that peaked my interest I would always look for grace's explanation and opinions; Always satisfying BWHAHAHAHAHHAAH
Cessico Jones that’s what I wondered is it bad or better than the one we saw. I haven’t watch this spoiler all the way through and not gonna judge the movie yet because I am very picky about my jean lol. But the person I will judge is mystique I can not stand her looks and acting I know it’s probably the Writers etc it’s just something about her is off. She doesn’t have that I will beat you up with a glance look to her anymore mind you I know she’s not evil anymore, it just at least the fight scenes could have her fighting bad guys more graceful like how Rebecca fought
Hey Grace 🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️ I am a huge x-men fan and it sucks how this ended 🙄🙄 at least the original cast went all out for it especially Rebecca as Mystique 🔥🔥
I really liked the film. It was a solid minimalist take & it made up for the disappointment of the Last Stand. It also has the distinction of having arguably the finest score of any X-Men film courtesy of Hans Zimmer.
ALEX Sanit TMROCK i agree, it wasn’t ment too be as big as infinty war. The acting was great, Fighting scenes where great, the plot was expected but still had a couple of twists (the aliens). It showed us how strong jean really is with the phoenix force. I don’t understand the hate from the critics when this movie gave us what we expected and more
I enjoyed it too. I think that a lot of critics seem to jump on the bandwagon of hating on some particular big movies because it seems to be the cool thing to do. It really wasn't that bad at all. It was better than Xmen 3 in my opinion and a decent ending to this part of the franchise.
I actually liked this movie a lot! It’s my third favorite X-Men movie and not as bad as everyone says. It does have some major issues but it’s also good
There are clearly three movies better than this: X-Men, X2, and Days of Future Past, but I would also argue that First Class was marginally better, but as JC would say, all film is subjective...FWIW.
I think Storm using her powers to make ice for the drinks was a call back to X2 with Bobby “Iceman” blowing on Wolverine’s beer to cool it right before Stryker attacks the mansion and Wolverine goes full Beserker.
a Dark Phoenix and no Firebird? then what is this movie all about? that is what I am expecting(firebird).. oh well thanks for the spoiler review I will pass this one
Same here. The bare minimum for me was Jean going full on firebird. That was the whole visual point of Phoenix in the comic. This whole film sounds like an utter mess. Marvel changed plots that made the movies better. Fox seems to employ people who haven't done the basic research.
One of your better reviews Grace! You made lots of hilarious valid points! "Why did Magneto need an actual train? Did he just want to make an entrance like a boss?" Lol!
I took it like as him trying to put fear in her showing his ammunition, because everyone knows what he would be able to with that train. But then he goes and uses the rail to threaten her so that was a mess
Dark Phoenix without discussing the Phoenix Force and weak VFX. Jean launches herself into the air and just her coat blows a little. Magneto throws a helicopter and it looks like someone tossed a model in the air. The whole train sequence happens at night so you can't see how bad the models look. She never even manifests the classic phoenix! Hard to believe this movie cost $200 million.
Here’s a question: why the hell was Mystique the only person Jean was willing to talk to? Not the boyfriend she loved and swore to return to, and not even the man who literally raised her? Because a man couldn’t be the one to save a woman in need, that’s why. And that’s one of the many misandrist moments. Ridiculous, and it breaks my heart to see Grace applaud such a disservice to women. I honestly though you were better then that. I refuse to support misrepresentation Grace, I refuse.
I disagree with them only occasionally using their powers. In fact, Charles was even actively fighting on the battlefield. Seeing hi help, Kurt, Storm, and Scott so much was weird, since when did homeboy get involved in the actual fighting? GO CHARLES! Same for Magneto, this was the best I've seen of them using his abilities. His entire usage of his powers in the train was amazing.
Kurt needed a helmet because he went into actual space, in the movie it shows storm freeze the air holes with ice just as nightcrawler appears in it, and Jean grey can use her power to breathe in space. That’s why he was the only one wearing the helmet
"The women are always saving the men" Well... if you don't count Quicksilver and Nightcrawler, who save literally everyone all the time, then I guess it's true.
Can we take a moment to appreciate James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender? Good script or bad script, these guys always bring it in each movie. These guys will have long careers long past this franchise.
It's not as bad as people say it is. The train sequence was AMAZING and some of the symbolism was great and the dialogue was also really powerful. acting couldve been better from some characters. otherwise i think the only real problem with the movie was that it was hard to be invested since they're being recast soon anyway and this franchise is ending
I really did enjoy the movie, and the two major action scenes were very good. Not showing their powers? the entire train scene was showing off powers in great ways. I would have change a few things though in regards of the story. Also the end to me was kinda stupid, when the only survivors were the xmen. No human surviving means no one left to tell the tale that it was aliens all along and xmen aren't bad. Now mutants are as hated as ever which majorly sucks as an end of a franchise. Also makes it difficult for Charles and Eric to play chess in the open at the end
I'm a huge x-men fan and I really found this movie disappointing. It wasn't a horrible movie but it wasn't good either. I wanted at least jean to go full fire bird phoenix but not even that... but well, at least Sophie did a good job as Jean Grey...
@@LanaDelTako yup movie wasn't half bad sure there were some room for improvement but I was satisfied with the movie! And you Missed the Phoenix at the end on the Sky when Charles and Erick were playing Chess!!!
@@omairkhan9167 that scene was really good. Honestly I wouldn't be upset if Marvel kept the cast but I'm sure they're so worn out from the lazy writing this series has put them through.
Just watched it last night, it wasn't as bad as everyone is saying but it wasn't as good as it should have been. It was the Dark Phoenix storyline for Christ sakes.
Magneto delivers every line like a badass. I loved when the alien says, "I dont wanna fight you" and Magneto says, "I hear that a lot" alllll time badass movie line.
You thought it should be Xwomen was a great line. They went into space in a ship made by a man, a man teleported every human, a man used his speed to do all of the work. A woman kept the cabin from collapsing where NO one was in.
Grace, I just watched it and I honestly loved it!! I grew up with the hope of becoming a mutant and this movie didn’t disappoint me at all... The relationship between Scott and Jean felt really natural and cute!! I loved Sophie’s acting she’s truly amazing!! I’ll honestly love the X-Men and I’ll miss them dearly 💓😪🤠
The (Late) 90s are too similar looking to 2010s. Technology has changed a whole lot, but fashion and music then is virtually the same as it is today with only mild variations in style, unlike the 80s, 70s and 60s etc. There's no point making a period piece set in a time that can just as pass for the modern era. Same issue with Captain Marvel.
It's just all so sad. These incredible, complex, iconic characters deserved so much better and it all feels like the last 19 years were largely a waste because of massive egos that truly did not get the source material or care to. I'm with you on the kibosh (at least a cool down) to the period pieces... Unless we get someone smart enough to give us a gritty, neon 70's disco dream Dazzler movie. I am ALL over that.
I actually liked the movie. I wish it was done in a bigger way....but I found the movie to be really ok. It was not bad as people made it out to be. It was ok....and Sophie Turner did a great job.
If it was set in the 90's- at least give us Rebecca Romijn- the best Mystique! this is just SAD. Prof X pathetically crawling up the stairs -pretty much describes how they've mistreated the source material.
Magneto , brought the train behind him so he could have an unlimted amount of powerful metal exactly at his disposal . He doesn't have to hunt or struggle for it . As a metal man I'd grab that train first too before facing a Dark Phoenix 👍🏽
The next time they reboot the X-men (or when they get into the MCU), they should really leave out the over-exposed characters. Like Jean Grey/Phoenix/Dark Phoenix and give more spotlight to underepresented X-men on film like GAMBIT.
Storm seems to be the first mutant we'll meet in the MCU (if they keep new mutants in the fox bracket) and will lead the new new team (which I feel they will call uncanny xmen)
@@welshinc5782 why? It makes more sense since MCU already introduced Captain Marvel to have Rogue introduced first in Captain Marvel 2 in the end of the movie where she take Captain Marvel's powers and put her on a coma
I really like the characters most would consider over exposed and I don't think I'm alone there's a reason these movies focus on them. Those characters resonate with audiences. Yes let's add some less highlighted characters but let's not do away with the core X-men characters everyone knows and loves.
My issue was less about what was in the movie and more about what wasn't. Why couldn't Chastain have been Lilandra? Why couldn't Magneto's psychic henchwoman be Psylocke? Why couldn't Jean use more fire or actually use its resurrection abilities? I actual thought the movie was good on its own, but I get a little disappointed when I think about what could have been added
roadjcat yeah. No firebird is the most disappointing... good mystique is the worst... I could deal without it being Lisandro because Lilandra needs to be Included in the first Phoenix saga before then appearing in dark Phoenix... think the problem is nobody cares about these characters... at all
The only thing I disagree with in this video is that there is always room for more Peggy Carter! ROFL Grace's loathing of Jessica Chastain is still on point
6:21 He's the only one who needs a helmet in space cause he's the one who teleports and can teleport INTO space if he wants. Carrying the others he carries them into the other spaceship. Also he knows he's gonna probably need it possibly like he really did to go into space and grab Dark Phoenix.
Saw the movie tonight when in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. Was not as bad as I expected. However wish they would have stayed true or to the source material. BTW, what happened to Quicksilver? At first I missed him getting off the plane and wondered if they left him in the bushes behind jeans dad's house. LOL
no powers? the x team all used their powers many many times in this film. finally cyclops being put to use. fun to see dazzler, but why not just keep jubilee from the last film, especially if it was going to be for a party. the aliens were definitely originally meant to be skrulls.
I think your review is a very fair opinion. You brought out ligitament concerns. I feel like this wasn't a bad movie as a stand alone. Fox version of Xmen seems to always have a continuity issue. Meaningful dialogue was missed and fleshing out the dual personality was also a miss. Perhaps the alien Villains could have up the ante earlier by actually finding away to control Jean to the detriment of world governments increasing the threat level and show casing her power in a more meaningful way. Then have the Xmen rescue her from their influence and have her defeat them. Either way I think the critics were way to hard on this movie presenting it as horrible because of a desire to see a Fox franchise disappear in favor of an MCU reboot. I too look forward to that but we don't have to bash this movie for that to happen.
Why does *Cyclops* keep missing his laser beam shots in this movie? Doesn't he have to just look at his target to hit it? He kept missing Magneto! He just had to look at Magneto! How the F*&K does he miss his target?!
@@thescorpionsy9011 But Storm Troopers have to aim. Cyclops does not. He just needs to look at his target. That's it. No eye-hand coordination is necessary.
@@kiantamar The reason for that is because Cyclops is actually a bit cross-eyed under his visor...so his aim can be off sometimes...even when he tries hard. Which is why he sought the help of the best Marksmen in the galaxy...as we ALL know...the Storm Troopers! 😂😋
That X-Women line was awful and makes no sense. X-Men have always had men and women working together, even in the space scene it was referring to! Totally unnecessary and out of nowhere.
@@leonardobraynen1524 I wasn't abandoned but I feel that was the movies best attempt at trying to show how she was being rejecting by everyone. The fact he didn't have any photos of her was heartbreaking. I wish they did it better with Magneto. I think the ideas in the movie were pretty good but it needed some more fleshing out with how Jean would be feeling. Luckily Sophie's acting sold a lot of it and by the end the overarching theme came together.
“She did a good job as a villain, I think it lines up with her actual personality”

looked at chapter times... saw Jessica Chastain. made me laugh so hard cuz i know already (even without watching the movie) what Grace gonna say about her. legends say that you give hearts for first responders

"Her villain like role in the movie, matches her real life personality" LOL

@@flaviab5315 is grace not allowed to joke? Its TH-cam not a professional job
“She did a good job as a villain, I think it lines up with her actual personality” Omg...I just flatlined...D E A D! 😂😂😂
Instead of writing "smith", the villain's name on the list, Grace straight up wrote Jessica Chastain 🤣🤣
In her defense, they barely say her name in the movie.
Her name was Vuk in the movie but yet they never establish it
So I watched this movie and I don't understand the "We should rename it to the X-Women line", they literally flew a plane into space completely built by Beast, Cyclops blasted the ship to stop it from spinning, Storm froze the openings in the ship, Nightcrawler and Quicksilver saved all the astronauts, and Jean saved them from the pheonix force. Seemed like a team effort, except Mystique did nothing.
Totally forced line and fem-dom service, but I'm just a guy, so I don't count.
The X-Men movie franchise has (to varying degrees) great female characters: Jean, Storm, Rogue, Mystique, but how many times did they save the day? And how many times was the day saved by the men? I guess equal amounts of time.
Yeah, the line makes as much sense as their jet in the 60ies onwards
Woman here, and I totally agree, it was out of line
Plus Mystique comes up with the name "The X-Men" in X-Men first class. And I'm pretty sure in the comics its explained that men means human, that's why its Women and men, women are humans with a womb, and men are humans without. X-men are humans with the mutant X gene / in Professor X's team.
I completely agree!
For now on, anytime I see Jessica Chastain in a movie imma hear "I wanna be a ____ movie" in my head & imma say "but doing what Jessica?" 😂😂😂😩

I always love how Grace shades Jessica Chastain so subtly and easily. Always worth a watch when she’s mentioned 😂
Sigh.... Once again, poor Storm. So under & poorly used.
her powers were used greatly in the movie. Actually best of the entire movie franchise.
@@buciallstar There is more to the character than her powers.
That actress was terrible. So I has glad they didn't use her much smh.
That X Women line is cringe worthy. It feels like they're trying to hard .
that's why Charles ignored it
It's ironic since she was beaten up and killed like an insect by her fellow X-woman
I agree
Kurt needed a helmet because he went into actual space, in the movie it shows storm freeze the air holes with ice just as nightcrawler appears in it, and Jean grey can use her power to breathe in space. That’s why he was the only one wearing the helmet
I liked the movie, wasn't that bad, it was a more mature stylish film. The Hans Zimmer music gave it a dark knight feel.
GAME OVER "WE HAVE EVERY PIXEL COVERED" agreed
It was not, I take it that you didn't actually see it
Bi polar is mood swings, Schizophrenia is more, hearing voices and believing your daydreams are reality. No shade.
To be fair, Jean Grey does have voices in her head but I agree.
"The women are always saving the men"
Well... if you don't count Quicksilver and Nightcrawler, who save literally everyone all the time, then I guess it's true.
did you just assumed nightcrawler and quicksilver's gender ??😅😅🤣😂
Dark Phoenix was actually better than all the reviews made it out to be. I actually enjoyed it and will be seeing it again.
"She did a good job as a villain. It actually lines up with her personality" WHOA! LOL! GRACE! 😆
That X women line was absolutely horrible Grace, especially considering the fact that Mystique did the least on that mission.
Can we take a moment to appreciate James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender? Good script or bad script, these guys always bring it in each movie. These guys will have long careers long past this franchise.
It's not as bad as people say it is. The train sequence was AMAZING and some of the symbolism was great and the dialogue was also really powerful. acting couldve been better from some characters. otherwise i think the only real problem with the movie was that it was hard to be invested since they're being recast soon anyway and this franchise is ending
I really did enjoy the movie, and the two major action scenes were very good. Not showing their powers? the entire train scene was showing off powers in great ways.
I would have change a few things though in regards of the story. Also the end to me was kinda stupid, when the only survivors were the xmen. No human surviving means no one left to tell the tale that it was aliens all along and xmen aren't bad.
Now mutants are as hated as ever which majorly sucks as an end of a franchise. Also makes it difficult for Charles and Eric to play chess in the open at the end
Bullshit and no one believes you saw it
Just watched it. Really not as bad as people were saying. Yh sure it is low stakes and inconsequential but a decent watch
THIS movie is not as bad as people are saying it! And Grace's Review was great!!!
I'm a huge x-men fan and I really found this movie disappointing. It wasn't a horrible movie but it wasn't good either. I wanted at least jean to go full fire bird phoenix but not even that... but well, at least Sophie did a good job as Jean Grey...
@@LanaDelTako yup movie wasn't half bad sure there were some room for improvement but I was satisfied with the movie! And you Missed the Phoenix at the end on the Sky when Charles and Erick were playing Chess!!!
@@omairkhan9167 that scene was really good. Honestly I wouldn't be upset if Marvel kept the cast but I'm sure they're so worn out from the lazy writing this series has put them through.
Just saw the movie. I (shockingly) enjoyed it. But that's probably because I was expecting the worst.
GRACE VS JESSICA AT HELL IN A CELL
Just watched it last night, it wasn't as bad as everyone is saying but it wasn't as good as it should have been. It was the Dark Phoenix storyline for Christ sakes.
Magneto delivers every line like a badass. I loved when the alien says, "I dont wanna fight you" and Magneto says, "I hear that a lot" alllll time badass movie line.
How is Mystic's line of calling them X-Women a good line???
Yeah, specially since Nightcrawler had just rescued Jean in the previous scene, and Mystique was claiming the women always rescue the men. Lol
It felt shoe horned in
You thought it should be Xwomen was a great line. They went into space in a ship made by a man, a man teleported every human, a man used his speed to do all of the work. A woman kept the cabin from collapsing where NO one was in.
Grace, can you please enlighten me about the "Jessica Chastain" thing? 🤔 😁😳
Coffee Manic she just doesnt like her haha
15:22 “We can see youuu” “STOPLOOKINGNOVERHERETHISISOURPRIVATESANCUTUARY” Grace 😂
Grace, I just watched it and I honestly loved it!! I grew up with the hope of becoming a mutant and this movie didn’t disappoint me at all... The relationship between Scott and Jean felt really natural and cute!! I loved Sophie’s acting she’s truly amazing!! I’ll honestly love the X-Men and I’ll miss them dearly 💓😪🤠
ReadWithMajo That means you know nothing about the characters, the Phoenix, nor the island of Genosha.
I just saw the film Grace,and all I can say is its better than X-3 in fact this wouldve been a somewhat nice sequel to X-2.
Every time I feel low after watching a movie I come straight to your channel..always lifts my mood !
The (Late) 90s are too similar looking to 2010s. Technology has changed a whole lot, but fashion and music then is virtually the same as it is today with only mild variations in style, unlike the 80s, 70s and 60s etc. There's no point making a period piece set in a time that can just as pass for the modern era. Same issue with Captain Marvel.
It's just all so sad. These incredible, complex, iconic characters deserved so much better and it all feels like the last 19 years were largely a waste because of massive egos that truly did not get the source material or care to.
I'm with you on the kibosh (at least a cool down) to the period pieces... Unless we get someone smart enough to give us a gritty, neon 70's disco dream Dazzler movie. I am ALL over that.
I actually liked the movie. I wish it was done in a bigger way....but I found the movie to be really ok. It was not bad as people made it out to be. It was ok....and Sophie Turner did a great job.
I love watching Grace drag Jessica Chastain. Idk why though😂
Kurt only needed the helmet when he was going outside the spaceship to get the pilot. Everyone else remained inside the ship.
I'm only here for the Jessica Chastain commentary 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
If it was set in the 90's- at least give us Rebecca Romijn- the best Mystique!
this is just SAD. Prof X pathetically crawling up the stairs -pretty much describes how they've mistreated the source material.
Magneto was plugging the entrance to the building to slow down Xavier's team.
Didnt think that was hard to comprehend
Magneto , brought the train behind him so he could have an unlimted amount of powerful metal exactly at his disposal . He doesn't have to hunt or struggle for it . As a metal man I'd grab that train first too before facing a Dark Phoenix 👍🏽
dude that makes so much sense- didnt think about it.
But....he used the stair rail to attack.
The next time they reboot the X-men (or when they get into the MCU), they should really leave out the over-exposed characters.
Like Jean Grey/Phoenix/Dark Phoenix and give more spotlight to underepresented X-men on film like GAMBIT.
Wolverine is the most overexposed X-Man not Jean Grey.
Kalbuir66 x-men is just a name, i think its better to keep the name too show the progress they’ve had.
Storm seems to be the first mutant we'll meet in the MCU (if they keep new mutants in the fox bracket) and will lead the new new team (which I feel they will call uncanny xmen)
@@welshinc5782 why? It makes more sense since MCU already introduced Captain Marvel to have Rogue introduced first in Captain Marvel 2 in the end of the movie where she take Captain Marvel's powers and put her on a coma
I really like the characters most would consider over exposed and I don't think I'm alone there's a reason these movies focus on them. Those characters resonate with audiences. Yes let's add some less highlighted characters but let's not do away with the core X-men characters everyone knows and loves.
Usually stay from spoiler section but I've no intention of seeing this so all good.
If I were, I'd avoid spoilers not because they'll ruin the film, but because they'll ruin you day when you learn how stupid the film is :(
I've seen enough Jessica Chastain interviews and she seems really cool to me, what's the problem with her Grace?
I think the same
My issue was less about what was in the movie and more about what wasn't. Why couldn't Chastain have been Lilandra? Why couldn't Magneto's psychic henchwoman be Psylocke? Why couldn't Jean use more fire or actually use its resurrection abilities?
I actual thought the movie was good on its own, but I get a little disappointed when I think about what could have been added
roadjcat yeah. No firebird is the most disappointing... good mystique is the worst... I could deal without it being Lisandro because Lilandra needs to be Included in the first Phoenix saga before then appearing in dark Phoenix... think the problem is nobody cares about these characters... at all
Charles had questionable decisions? Surely, it cant be worse than cap not wanting to kill vision
The only thing I disagree with in this video is that there is always room for more Peggy Carter!
ROFL Grace's loathing of Jessica Chastain is still on point
We Peggy Carter fans never got the full backing of the studios. At least they threw us a bone in Endgame.
6:21 He's the only one who needs a helmet in space cause he's the one who teleports and can teleport INTO space if he wants.
Carrying the others he carries them into the other spaceship.
Also he knows he's gonna probably need it possibly like he really did to go into space and grab Dark Phoenix.
Best thing about the movie mystique dies early on;)
The rest is pretty forgettable.
Nice spoilers
I haven't seen the movie, and I barely learned anything new about what's going on in it
Right.
Honestly the movie was entertaining, only thing I hated is that it made proffesor X seem weak I thought he was one of the strongest mutants...
I disagree. I want more young Peggy, Howard, Pym, and Janet. I really want a prequel.
I would love a Hank Pym movie. He is far more interesting than Scott Lang.
Ok so days of future past shows the future with Jean there but in this movie she dies?
Hmmm i loved this movie actually.... Very Dark yess. Great epic music by Hans Zimmer
M Oviegeek didn't know it was him until I saw the credits. I thought it lacked epic parts and good themes. Not very memorable.
The score had some good dark undertones
Saw the movie tonight when in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. Was not as bad as I expected. However wish they would have stayed true or to the source material. BTW, what happened to Quicksilver? At first I missed him getting off the plane and wondered if they left him in the bushes behind jeans dad's house. LOL
He was injury very badly so he in the School hospital bed.
Grace Magneto pulled the train in so no one could get in so he could kill Jean...
The street was full of vehicles though. (It did look cool anyway)
The SHADE thrown at Jessica BSJSKDB 😭😭
no powers? the x team all used their powers many many times in this film. finally cyclops being put to use. fun to see dazzler, but why not just keep jubilee from the last film, especially if it was going to be for a party. the aliens were definitely originally meant to be skrulls.
I think your review is a very fair opinion. You brought out ligitament concerns. I feel like this wasn't a bad movie as a stand alone. Fox version of Xmen seems to always have a continuity issue. Meaningful dialogue was missed and fleshing out the dual personality was also a miss. Perhaps the alien Villains could have up the ante earlier by actually finding away to control Jean to the detriment of world governments increasing the threat level and show casing her power in a more meaningful way. Then have the Xmen rescue her from their influence and have her defeat them. Either way I think the critics were way to hard on this movie presenting it as horrible because of a desire to see a Fox franchise disappear in favor of an MCU reboot. I too look forward to that but we don't have to bash this movie for that to happen.
Why does *Cyclops* keep missing his laser beam shots in this movie?
Doesn't he have to just look at his target to hit it? He kept missing Magneto! He just had to look at Magneto! How the F*&K does he miss his target?!
That's because Cyclops was secretly trained to aim and shoot with accuracy by the best...Storm Troopers. 😜😂
@@thescorpionsy9011 But Storm Troopers have to aim. Cyclops does not. He just needs to look at his target. That's it. No eye-hand coordination is necessary.
@@kiantamar The reason for that is because Cyclops is actually a bit cross-eyed under his visor...so his aim can be off sometimes...even when he tries hard. Which is why he sought the help of the best Marksmen in the galaxy...as we ALL know...the Storm Troopers! 😂😋
That X-Women line was awful and makes no sense. X-Men have always had men and women working together, even in the space scene it was referring to! Totally unnecessary and out of nowhere.
I bet you everyone watching the spoiler review hasn’t watched the movie and most have no plans to.
Is quicksilver dead?
strong Cheetara vibes on Grace's look today - I like it.
They hardly use their powers? I must've seen a different movie than you.
its a MAD world she must have been sleeping during the space shuttle scene, the NYC fight and the train sequence!
They really don't use them that much or effectively for most of the movie
Jeans confrontation with her dad was incredible. So emotional and intense.
yes, as a child who has been abandoned, u feel it real hard.
@@leonardobraynen1524 I wasn't abandoned but I feel that was the movies best attempt at trying to show how she was being rejecting by everyone. The fact he didn't have any photos of her was heartbreaking. I wish they did it better with Magneto. I think the ideas in the movie were pretty good but it needed some more fleshing out with how Jean would be feeling. Luckily Sophie's acting sold a lot of it and by the end the overarching theme came together.
I have no idea how it started but I just live for the shades Grace throws at Jessica Chastain. So nonchalant.
