a wayward movie

In the film, a shot of the president's office is given. There is a telephone with the X Logo on the president's desk, which is dedicated to contacting Charles, indicating that Professor X is now a "big man". Raven appeared as the leader of the X-Men, leading Cyclops, Night Demon, Jean, Storm and Quicksilver into space to carry out rescue missions. I personally like this space rescue scene because it clearly shows X How did the cops use their abilities to execute the characters? Every character got their due play in this play, and none of them were soy sauce. Everyone knows the next story. There was an astronaut who was not rescued and was still on the original spaceship, but the spaceship was going to be destroyed soon. Qin could support the spaceship with her own abilities, so Xiaoye Mo took her to teleport. Passing by, but not bringing her back, Jean absorbed all the solar flares, miraculously survived, and landed safely with the team. The X-Men team was treated like a hero when they came back, and the camera took a moment to show the ordinary people who welcomed them, some holding up Qin's name and a small child painting his face. It's blue, which is in stark contrast to what happened to the mutants in the first three movies. And it's all the work of Charles, at least he thinks so. Then came the scene where Raven and Professor X quarreled. In this episode, some people criticized him for forcing political correctness because Raven scolded Charles for saying "X-Men should be changed to X-cops". The lines are awkward and illogical, but in my opinion There is actually no "political correctness" in this quarrel. The key point of the two quarrels is that Raven cares about several young people in the X-Men, and points out Professor X's conceit, accusing Professor X of sacrificing his own risk in order to save mankind, and Qin almost died. And Professor X retorted that he is all for the sake of peace, and in order to integrate mutants into human beings, even taking risks to rescue ordinary people is worth it. Raven further pointed out that Charles left these dangerous tasks to children and did not consider the consequences. He sat on it and talked and talked, and finally said that it was women who saved the world. Maybe you should change X-MEN to X-WOMEN and leave . Considering the background of the whole thing, she actually said this from the standpoint of caring about Qin, and laid the groundwork for the subsequent plot. Here you can find that the rhythm of the film is very fast, the progress is very crisp, the foreshadowing is over here, and the plot is fully unfolded: 1.

4. Raven's death split the X-Men, Hank blamed her death on Charles' mistake, but Professor X didn't realize his mistake at this time 5. Jean came to Kenosha, created by Magneto, trying to ask for help , Magneto saw that she killed someone, but she didn't tell who he was, the people of the American army came to Kenosha to capture her, Magneto originally wanted to cover her, but Qin lost control again and showed great power, Magneto In order to protect the mutants on the island, she asked her to leave Kenosha, and then Hank came over and told Erik that Jean killed Mystique. Magneto decided to find Jean and kill her with Hank. 6. Jean in a bar in New York When she met the alien played by the model worker, she learned that what she absorbed was not a solar flare, but a powerful force in the universe, which destroyed the planet of the model worker, and they tracked this force to come At this point, the model worker told Qin that she could help her, and that Qin could even create a whole new world with her own power, and Qin listened to her words.

7. Magneto's eyeliner found out that Jean was in New York. Erik and Hank led a team to New York to kill Jean. On the other side, Professor X also learned the news, with Cyclops, Nightcrawler and Storm. He also went to New York to stop him, and the result is predictable: Magneto was tortured into scum by the blackened Qin, and the professor was tortured for a while, but he insisted on awakening the kindness of Qin's nature, and he succeeded! Qin said bitterly that she didn't want this power, and let the aliens played by the model worker take away the power of the phoenix from her, so the model worker wanted to suck her dry, but Professor X found out that if the model worker took all the power of the phoenix from her. If they absorb it, Qin will die. At this time, the model worker also revealed another purpose of coming to the earth, that is, to use the power of the phoenix to take the earth as their own to develop their own race. Stopped the model worker, she only got half the power of the phoenix, Qin fainted, and all the mutants were caught by the government

8. On the train where the mutants were kept together, Professor X finally realized the mistake he made, he apologized to Hank on the opposite side, and also pointed out that killing Jyn was not the solution, the model worker's alien gang The real enemy is the real enemy. The two sides finally reached a united front. At this time, the alien gang of model worker sister also rushed over to board the train and wanted to take away the unconscious Qin, and then the climax of the train battle began.

I personally think the train battle scene was well done and very cool. I said earlier that the space scene is a good example of how the X-Men use their mutant abilities to carry out their missions. The same is true for this fight scene, which is well presented It's cool and exciting to see how the abilities of mutants are used in combat

9. In the end, Professor X continued to communicate with Qin through his abilities. Qin forgave Professor X's practice of sealing up his memory of his mother's death due to the loss of his ability, and then woke up and fought the final battle with the model worker, in order to save others. They went into space. In the end, Qin killed the alien played by the model worker, and a special effect in the shape of a phoenix erupted in the sky. Professor X and his party thought that Qin had sacrificed himself. 10. At the end, the name of Xavier's Gifted Junior School was changed to Jean Grey's Gifted Junior School, the X-Men still existed, Charles retired, Magneto came to him to play chess, and promised to accompany Professor X to give him a new A Home (that's what the lines in the movie mean) The camera turns to the sky, and a red phoenix shadow passes by, implying that Jean is not dead, and the movie ends.

Professor X shows some changes in this film. He seems to become a politician and exposes some shortcomings. He is actually a patriarchal person. He tends to control other people's lives in a way that he thinks is good. From Mystique to Qin, but even though Professor X is no longer perfect in this movie, he still does the same thing as in the previous movie, he believes in Magneto, he believes in Raven, and he believes in Qin, and finally saved her

From the fans' point of view, because they are quite familiar with and have feelings for these characters, it is easy to be touched when watching the movie, but obviously for ordinary audiences, this is not necessarily the case, because the whole movie narrative is very fast , the duration is also very short and crisp, the character's actions and lines may not be completely acceptable, but on the other hand, in such a movie with Qin as the protagonist, several other X-Men characters have also played a certain role, It's not a complete foil. This movie is more like a family movie. There are people in the X-Men family who have problems, but they can't give up their loved ones. From this point of view, the movie chose The perspective is not as friendly as the first battle, reversal of the future or even Apocalypse. Even if it is Apocalypse, ordinary audiences can watch it as a good movie, but the Dark Phoenix is ​​obviously not good. The model worker and the alien villain army she leads have a sense of existence. Not even as good as Apocalypse.

The story of Dark Phoenix is ​​like an exquisite fanfiction that fits the style of the original, and gives EC a happy ending (I still like it)

But obviously, such an ending is a pity for Fox XCU.

    Although this X-Men is normal, in the reversal of the future, Wolverine crossed back. Professor X read the memory of the future mutants being discriminated against and persecuted in the future, so in this episode, he couldn't wait to make an appearance on the news, for the mutants. whitewash. Suddenly thought of, heart plug (three and a half stars)

    The future of the X-Men has been reversed for nothing. After watching the show, my friend said to me: I think I can do better than the movie with the lightning special effects of Storm Girl. This is also the overall feeling of the movie: shoddy. Whether it's the plot, the special effects, or the play, it all reveals a perfunctory feeling. The character dialogue is blunt, everyone's changes are too abrupt, Magneto wants to kill but not, the Phoenix girl wants to destroy the world but not... After the restart of the X-Men, the youthful beauty of "First Battle" is eye-catching, and the profound thinking of "Reverse the Future" has been adhering to the principle of telling the story well, focusing on the issue of how humans and mutants should coexist. . Even the criticized "Apocalypse" is more brilliant than "Black Phoenix". The only happy may be the ending sentence, I will give you a home. I can only give this final chapter unqualified.
