Description:

Before Disney and the Marvel Cinematic Universe took over all things comic book, there was 20th Century Fox and X-Men. If someone wants to see what the comic book film landscape looked like, just take a look at 1989’s Punisher and 1994’s Phantom. But then came Blade (which we’ll cover eventually), a movie that came out in 1998 and proved that cinematic movies based on comic books could indeed be financially successful. And after a lot of false pretenses and multiple script changes, Marvel’s X-Men was finally ready to roll before cameras with little known director Bryan Singer behind the camera. Little did we know that not only would this franchise have a lot of peaks and valleys, but the Mouse House would eventually swallow its rights up whole. Will Garrett, Matt, and Batch enjoy the ride up to and through this year’s Dark Phoenix?

I can’t remember a retrospective which had more doom and gloom at the end of the tunnel than this one we are doing for X-Men. From the very beginning, bad press and bad word of mouth seemed to go hand in hand with Dark Phoenix, and I was wondering whether this series was worth diving into. But I feel we put together a hell of a series, and the least we could do was cap it off with this review of new director Simon Kinberg’s conclusion Dark Phoenix. But will the film be worth YOUR time?

I would like to thank both Batch and Matt for seriously bringing their A-Game for this series, and stay tuned, as there are plans for a MUCH bigger set of shows with the three of us down the road.
