  If “Dark Phoenix” feels like the nadir of 21st century blockbuster cinema, that’s not because it’s the worst film of its kind — hell, it’s not even the worst installment of its franchise — but rather because it might be the only $200 million tentpole that has no evident reason to exist. The movie industry is sustained by a silent contract between Hollywood and its audience, which stipulates studios and ticket buyers will both spend too much of their money to sit together in a room so dark that no one can see the line that separates art from commerce. The brazen needlessness of the twelfth film in the “X-Men” saga is nothing less (and nothing more) than a direct…

  I know the memo instructed us all to hate this before it even came out but I can't read so I messed up and thought it was entertaining and fine.

  The X-men series in general is one of the better comic book franchises but with the exception of Logan's strength and the weakness of The Last Stand and Apocalypse I would describe the remaining films as varying shades of good/entertaining, including this one. I think people overreact to the relative deepness of a film like Days of Future's Past and under-react to some of the more interesting questions posed by a film…
