​@yodatwinkie it's based on views bro 😂

Proud of you Tara for psycho storm chaser hope to see it someday and meet you in person you got my heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@deanmalibu3730]

actually the story feels cheaper than the original both of you should read it.

[@Blinkptx]

Neither.

[@TimWing23]

The villains for this movie were originally supposed to be Skrulls, but because Captain Marvel was coming out around the same time, they changed it.

[@agentofchaos7456]

The villains were originally suppose to be the Hellfire Club.

[@AntiHeroApollo]

I went to see Hans Zimmer in Chicago last month and before he started the Dark Phoenix set, he said, and I’m paraphrasing, “you know when you do an amazing score for a bad movie and are upset because the movie was so bad? And I know it was bad because none of you went to watch it! So let me play something I know you haven’t heard.” 😂 I, however, enjoyed this movie. I know it’s not the best, but I do like the train scene and score. I was just happy to see another X-Men movie. 😅

[@Manx36]

The train fight is amazing, Magneto’s power at its best.

[@phinlyn]

I went to see him in Forth Worth recently and he said something similar lol. The only thing that saved this movie for me was most definitely his score. I'm glad that even despite the movie not doing well, he has no shame for the music that was put into it. And the score is absolutely AMAZING.

[@mjrmonkey]

he said the exact same thing in Los Angeles lmao

[@smag5689]

It has been discussed that this movie had to be heavily re-written and ordered because the Captain Marvel movie was coming out at the same time and there were plot similarities. The shape-changing aliens in Dark Phoenix were supposed to be the Skrulls but they are in CM and the final battle in DP was changed from Phoenix destroying spaceships to a small scale train fight. More interesting still is that the Phoenix in the comics was originally going to be Carol Danvers but Ms. Marvel writer Chris Claremont started writing the All New, All Different X-Men and used the story he had intended for Carol, substituted in Jean Grey.

[@stevengoddard3865]

I really like the fact that Tara enjoyed this so much! As comic book fans we're often burdened by expectations of these movies that are really hard to meet a lot of the time which is why I always just let myself enjoy these movies for what they are. A bit of fun and escapism. There are some stunning visuals in this film!

[@takewhataway]

You're a rare smart comic fan. Movie adaptation is a very difficult medium and there are always hundreds of things that can go wrong. And THAT is why I just enjoy these superheroes movies for what they are and this movie is definitely still enjoyable among its glaring flaws

[@gabrielleroux2333]

@@takewhatawayi personally dislike this one, and I’ve never read the comic books. There is no correlation there

[@takewhataway]

@@gabrielleroux2333Yes there is. People who read comics will have specific reasons and expectation about adaptation. They have more information of the lore and characters. Maybe they even grew up with the comic and have special attachment to it. And you can not say that that will not affect someone's enjoyment of an adaptation. People like you, have different sets of expectations. Maybe just to other superhero movies or whatever personal knowledge that you can relate about this specific movie For example, ive seen a lot of xmen comic readers get pissed about First Class because Darwin died. Because they know specifically what Darwin is capable of. You (and the other non readers) on the other hand, probably wont give a shit because you probably didnt know about it. Etc etc etc etc You cant compare yourself with the comic readers (of this specific franchise/lore/story). Its already a different group to begin with. This is not an insult, in case you're taking it wrong. Its a mere basic logic if you wanna talk about correlation

[@brandonself6287]

Gotta be honest here. When I first watched this I didn’t like it. Upon a second watch, it wasn’t that bad. I think it drags at points. Also, it felt a bit pointless at the time to enjoy this because everyone knew by this point that Disney was essentially going to kill this franchise. But the performances are dope still and I love the action was great. One thing you guys touched that I was overjoyed about in this movie was that Jean and Scott like actually love each other here compared to the others. Sophie turner was great as Jean. I will say it was whack as fuck for them not to use the suits from the end of Apocalypse. All in all I enjoyed this. Thanks for watching

[@BuckyBarnesNC]

I won’t lie, I watch this channel mostly for Tara. I truly love everyone at the channel but Tara is so wholesome, nice, and funny. Also, I use to live outside LA and it’s hard to find people like Tara there. You the best lady!

[@besupaaa]

If you're one mistake away from people seeing you as monsters then they already see you as monsters. Also I believe at this point Jennifer wanted to be written off of the movie, if I'm not mistaken.

[@alucard624]

She was wanting to be gone long before this film. She has an attitude problem and notice she's not in any big budget flicks now since Weinstein is no longer around to "protect" her.h

[@Brook11223]

The young Jean Grey is portrayed by the same actress who portrayed Hope Mikaelson in The Originals season 4.

[@terryjohnson5579]

Jean was actually like 8 and it was a close friend of hers that as this friend died jean was in her mind. It was a car accident though but still that is how her powers came in.

[@darkur13]

I really don’t know why they didn’t just use that storyline. It easily could have had the same impact and relevance.

[@terryjohnson5579]

@@darkur13 ya instead we get her dad abandoning her and leading to the removal of one of the best characters in a fit of rage.

[@800Ms-k6n]

It's kinda funny how Simon Kinberg admit that he was unsatisfied with the way X-Men The Last Stand turned out and decided to stab himself in the back even worse by doing the same storyline in his own hands

[@johnatonhassett7892]

The only miracle that Dark Phoenix provides is its 6 minute opening sequence with young Jean Grey and Charles Xavier. Chronologically, you can watch that, turn off Dark Phoenix permanently and then watch Xmen Apocalypse. Xmen Apocalypse works so much more if you do that, and Sophie Turner's somber performance in Apocalypse makes much more sense.

[@dsfddsgh]

Yeah thanks to him doing the Phoenix saga again we won't see a proper retelling of this story until around 2044.

[@ProphetMisfit09]

In his defense, the movie he pitched was a 2 part film with a script already made and approved. Fox, when they began to start shooting, canceled the 2nd film and forced them to scrap their scrip and he(+ the cast), had to work overtime to rewrite the film while in the middle of filming. And initially, their villains were Skrulls, the movie was forced to be pushed back by Fox at the request of the creator of Alita Battle Angel. Captain Marvel came out a month later, revealing skrulls, which forced them to go back and re-do the entire 3rd act and remove all mention of Skrulls. Therefore, he and the cast were f over by Fox and the Disney deal(because their talks with Disney is what made them cancel the 2nd film).

[@Kevmaster2000]

Both were great movies

[@samufish]

@@ProphetMisfit09well. Wouldn’t the skrulls still be owned by Disney. Therefore not a property of Fox so they would not be able to use them in the first place. But those aliens were like skrulls. And would have been so much better.

[@ArchonKujo]

This was the only X-Men movie that did not have Logan in it, and to be fair, this movie was all over the place, the death of Mystique was so heavily rushed to the point that nobody felt heartbroken after Jean accidentally killing Raven except for Beast, I have no idea what they were thinking on even trying to continue with the past But days of future pass was the conclusion of its present so that could be reasonabl, even the villains themselves were incredibly irrelevant.

[@tomkvideo]

The death of Mystique was so rushed it was almost like Jennifer Lawrence promised them a week of shooting and phoned it in, lol.

[@thedarkemissary]

Yeah. It's kinda wild. Given their recent success, you saw how Jackman and Reynolds embraced their characters. Lawrence was done with Mystique after First Class. Couldn't be bothered with the makeup for the sequels. Couldn't wait to get off set for this one.

[@alucard624]

8:23 the moment Raven said this I knew this movie wasn't going to work. Saying that to a person in a wheelchair? Especially in the apocalypse I remember he told Charles to teach the children to fight. They fight and he blames Charles?

[@alucard624]

Frankly I was tired of her even before that happened thanks to constant complaining off camera about wanting equal pay and other BS. Glad she was killed off in the movie. Good riddance. She needs to go away.

[@Xl081x]

Didn't Jean defeat Apocalypse with the Phoenix Force in the last movie 🤫🤣

[@VforVictory00]

Yeah. I don't think they really planned ahead when it came to the X-Men movies. Keeping continuity was never a strong point in the franchise.

[@IAmHavok]

It still blows my mind how these movies just completely decided to ignore Mystique's actual character for whatever this was lol to the point she became their freaking moral center 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@lane1776]

And SHE was the leader of the team and not Scott. Wtfo lol... Hollywood

[@yotuel9064]

Too busy telling us that x-woman are better and that x-men doesn't count as gender neutral.

[@ThunderForce2000]

It’s likely because of Jennifer Lawrence being so popular at the time when she was cast.

[@IAmHavok]

@@yotuel9064 No, not remotely true. Just because the movies were bad doesn't mean this was what they were doing.

[@IAmHavok]

@ThunderForce2000 That just makes it worse honestly lol. She should've never been cast especially since she hated the make up so much. One of the biggest things About Mystique was she WAS Mystique, not Raven.

I love Apocalypse personally to me that one was actually great Dark Phoenix on the other not so much. great soundtrack,visuals and cgi but I liked it enough though in fairness not a bad last one to send off Imo

[@johnatonhassett7892]

Actually, you can watch the opening 6 minute sequence of Dark Phoenix where Charles adopts Jean Grey after the car crash, turn off Dark Phoenix and then Watch Xmen Apocalypse. It makes Xmen Apocalypse so much better now that you know Jean and Charles' surrogate father daughter relationship. Don't watch the rest of Dark Phoenix after that.

[@3Kings_Industries]

I’m glad you enjoyed this movie too! It gets crapped on a bunch, but I loved it. Magneto crunching that train car and ripping it away was a holy sh** moment! The Aliens were supposed to be Skrulls, but Feige used them for Captain Marvel.

[@Robert_Douglass]

36:00 In all the discussions about Magneto, it seems everyone fails to mention that only _certain_ metals are susceptible to magnetic properties. Aluminum, from which parts of the M-16 series rifle are stamped, is not one of them, but iron and lead are. Perhaps it's time to revisit the Periodic Table of the Elements, hmm?

[@800Ms-k6n]

Fox giving a budget of $200 million for Simon Kinberg's directorial debut in an X-Men movie is easily one of, if not the dumbest things they ever did with this franchise

[@King-lb4pi]

Yeah. I chose not to watch this because Wolverine's not in it, although he's my favorite.

[@scaryfstball100]

The only redeeming quality of this movie is Magneto being a badass in the end fight, and that's it. This film did nothing to give us a foundation of who Jean is. Everyone except Fassbender phoned in the acting. The story of the Phoenix never came to life, none of this was comic accurate. This might have been the worst written film of all the X-Men movies

[@DMCEagles05]

First decent Storm fight. Evil beast is meh. Genosha-ish. Death of the GOD AWFUL mystique. Still worst xmen movie and i love em all BUT this one.

[@thedarkknight2221]

Because of this movie, we may never see a proper live action adaptation of the Dark Phoenix Saga. It was already horribly done with X3 but this movie burned average audiences too much to ever trust seeing this saga done properly in live action. They could’ve just adapted the storyline almost beat for beat from the old animated series, it’s about the length of an average movie, but Simon Kinberg wanted to distance the movies from that series and the comics to the point where it hit him in the ass.

[@Dmoney8720]

Night crawler raging, and magneto using metal-fu were my favorite things in this movie. That’s about it lol

[@mokhan8934]

You should show her the Batman and the dark knight night trilogy

Originally this wasn’t supposed to be the movie, the original version allegedly the villains was the skrulls and the ending was similiar to captain marvel. But at the time of dark phoenix marvel bought fox and switch the story. In some of the trailers you can see different scenes that was not in this movie.

[@TimDaco]

Awesome Video Andrew and Tara!!! I'm Really Glad Tara Enjoyed This Movie!!! It definitely has it's problems, But it did do a Better Job of Capturing The Phoenix Story than The Last Stand did and That Train Fight Scene was Awesome.

[@800Ms-k6n]

When it got to the train scene in the third act, i felt that Dark Phoenix has suddenly became a completely different movie for some reason. Eventhough the third act was quite entertaining to watch, it was way too late to save this movie from a messy first and second act

[@brandonrobinson529]

[@alexp601]

The third act was a late rewrite, so maybe that's why it felt 'different' to the rest of the film.

I agree with Tara. I really liked this movie. I know I'm in more of the minority here, but I enjoyed it a lot back when I saw it theaters and now watching your reaction to it.

[@darkur13]

The real Phoenix Saga/Dark Phoenix Saga from the comics would really only work as an adaptation in a serial format. X-men the Animated Series did a great job and a live action Netflix series or something could work but we’ve seen twice now in the movies that it doesn’t really work as a one off. There’s too much drama and action that the story requires to really do it justice even if it were a 2 hour movie.

[@MattheusSantos-sf3zb]

The ending is simply amazing with the soundtrack 🔥

[@800Ms-k6n]

I'll never understand how the hell Fox gave Simon Kinberg a budget of $200 million for his directorial debut. That is absolutely insane and baffling. You don't start your directing career making a $200 million budget movie first, that's just never gonna work. Just because Kinberg wrote several X-Men movie scripts doesn't mean he's guaranteed to be good in directing a $200 million movie. It's absolutely insane how Fox let Kinberg get away with that. And ironically, Fox rejected the idea of Channing Tatum and Reid Carolin to direct their own Gambit movie as they haven't directed anything before but was willing to give Kinberg a $200 million budget for his directorial debut. It's absolutely nuts

This is one of the few movies in my life that I ever forgot I had watched. It basically never happens; I still remember almost all movies I've ever seen, all the way back to the 80's (yes, I'm old) - it's a blessing and a curse. I saw it at the cinema and thought it was kind of bland. Then when it came out on streaming, I had forgotten that I'd already seen it and thought that maybe I should watch "That new X-Men movie". About 1/4 of the way through, I realize I've already seen it. Then, a couple of months later it happened again. Now I've actually put some memory space aside for remembering that I don't need to watch it, but I still couldn't tell you much about it apart from "race to the big fiery bird" (seriously, they are doing the comic book Dark Phoenix so dirty), even though they'd already shown Jean having that power in Apocalypse.

Identify this movie and I think she's a wonderful actor especially on game of thrones I remember when people found out she was going to be the dark Phoenix there was a lot of mixed emotions but I think she did a great job.

about the x-women line i asumed x-men stood for men and women considering men is part of the word wo-men lol. so that line didnt land for me lol

Im doing my obligatory comment on every X-Men Dark Phoenix reaction I watch: Say what you want about this movie, but the train scene is the only time you can see how ruthless the mutants power can be (Especially from X-men side) and its amazing!

Lotta people trash talk this movie, but I don't think it's that bad, by X-Men movie standards. We were 11 years into the MCU at this point, so the standards for superhero movies, in general, were a lot higher.

They put Mystique’s death on the trailer of the movie 😂

The first time I watched this, it went right over my head that the bad guys were aliens.
