June 6, 2019 – Another double feature!

Alright y’all. Dark Phoenix. I liked it. It really doesn’t deserve the horrible reviews floating around. It was very different from the classic story. And different from Last Stand. I will say that it doesn’t have the feel of being the send off for all the Fox Marvel movies. It is it’s own entity. I don’t mind that really. It would have taken away from the story. Also, as I’ve said before, it’s difficult to care too much about what happens to characters that have only been around for 1 other movie. The action was cool, the Phoenix Force is interesting. A certain “group” was cool to see because it was from the comic event. I’ll say that Jean does end her story in a more accurate way than was portrayed in Last Stand. All in all, it was an alright movie. I enjoyed it.

As one would expect for a final film in a franchise, NO mid or end-credit scenes.

(Reading this again after a couple years does have me thinking I was a little too lenient on this review, it certainly was more accurate than Last Stand was but it had different faults. Though considering I’m comparing it to the near perfection of how the X-Men animated series depicted the story, I don’t think much could do better. But if the MCU ever gets to this story, even though I don’t think we’ll see this story again for at least 20 years, I think it will be done better than both these movies did.)

Secret Life of Pets 2. I laughed so much. There was a lot going on, but it wasn’t difficult to follow the stories going on. Not much else I can say about that. I will say some stuff. THE TURKEY. Also, it was nice hearing Harrison Ford ^__^ it was a fun film.

There is mid-credit stuff. Though that was released online a while ago, but eh. Still fun.

There isn’t an end-credit scene, but, there is an end-credit sound bite from Harrison Ford’s character.
