review: 'dark phoenix' isn't the revival the 'x-men' series needed - draw on screen

Talented British actress Sophie Turner has previously worked with fire.
To be exact, in her career, ice and fire --
Play Sansha Stark in Game of Thrones.
"This fair beloved series may not come to the conclusion of everyone (
Even anyone's)
Satisfied, but Turner is fine.
Grain transformation is one of its more convincing victories.
Her Sansa started the show as a naive, fragile teenager and ended the show as a steel post, leader and tactician at her immeasurable peak.
I can't help but recall it all in the crazy psychological drama of the Dark Phoenix, where Turner goes through another dramatic twist in a completely different situation, if it's also fantasy
If she is better than the Game of Thrones ultimately gives her, she should get a better return here.
Created and directed by Simon Ginberg, this is 2016 X-
"Man: Revelation" is like a weary sigh of a series of blockbusters that are getting less and less rudder.
This is a shame, especially since the script happens to draw on one of the most memorable plots in Marvel's comic chronicles.
The story, originally published between 1976 and 1980, tells the adventures of Amber's Jean Grey.

It sounds like a very prescient metaphor for Disney's recent merger with Fox, whose old studio logo appears at the beginning of the film, like a sad, quick --to-be-retired beacon. )

Despite the flaws of Phoenix, his recent attempt to bring Phoenix to the screen was almost interesting.
In all the clumsy lines, the derivative plot has changed, the production value is surprisingly indifferent, and you can feel that the film is pursuing something more sensitive and intimate than the usual blockbuster blowout

But the final price was for Jean, who came into contact with the torch, absorbed the energy of the torch, and survived desperate.
Maybe she shouldn't.
What she brought back to Earth was an extraordinary concentration of cosmic energy, which she could barely control, which could be a long-term reaction to her --
Especially in turbulent and destructive ways, the memory of childhood is buried.
Like several recent films and television shows, The Dark Phoenix celebrates both the sight of women's power and the power of women --
Still able to send a shock wave once or twice through the male spectacle

What happens when an already strong young woman suddenly has the ability to wipe out her enemies?
If she, like many action and fantasy characters, is a survivor of past trauma, will this affect her ability to exercise her power responsibly?
The recent "Captain Marvel" answered this question with one thing --of-
In fact, she will use this power, naturally, to deal with her demons and continue to kick some serious star ass.
To the chagrin of many, Game of Thrones provides a more backward response, though sadly, the marginalized Sansa is still what a brave, powerful, counter-example-ruling compassionate woman might look like.
The Dark Phoenix basically separates the two, although it proves that there are fewer works than both.
It urges you to be both fearful and fearful of Jean, whose split mind is literature by the hot cracks that open on her face (a nice touch)

It aims to show the delightful lines of the film's feminist sincerity.
But even Turner, with her radiant screen and her ability to make it look hard to distinguish between strength and vulnerability, ultimately fails to save the "Dark Phoenix" from her own imaginary failures ".

Their best action scene has always been a dazzling team-work performance, reminding us that real cooperation requires a harmonious interaction between storm lightning and Wolverine claws, and victory is often a matter of skill, not a brute force.
