Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, and Jessica Chastain also star inDark Phoenix.

Why should they have to banter for us, too?
Owen Gleiberman (Variety)YetDark Phoenixtook me by surprise.
He doesnt pad out a generic story with the rollicking eye candy of mutant effects.
He uses effects to tell the story.
Jean drifts through the film in a convulsive trance of intensity thats a whisper away from traumatized.
McAvoy does a capable job of delivering slightly better material, but is shortchanged by the films divided attention.
Now everyone looks bored.
Its now the second attempt at adapting the X-Men comics Dark Phoenix Saga to the big screen.
