Review: X-Men: Dark Phoenix is the latest and last instalment in 20th Century Fox’s X-Men franchise. It isn’t quite the finale that some fans were hoping for, but it is not as bad as some of the reviews out there and is better than a few of the previous X-Men movies. I have already ranked the 20th Century Fox X-Men movies. The aspect of X-Men: Dark Phoenix that I disliked most was the alien plot line. The aliens are generic and their motives are not explained in enough detail. Even a talented actor like Jessica Chastain couldn’t make the aliens interesting in any way.  On the flip-side, the best thing about X-Men: Dark Phoenix is the acting. Michael Fassbender, Sophie Turner a...

UK Release Date: 31 January 2003 Certification: 12A Director: Steven Spielberg  Cast: Amy Adams, Nathalie Baye, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Martin Sheen, Christopher Walken Rating: 77% " Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream... " Review: I was unaware of the true events that inspired Ca tch Me If You Can , I thought it was a just another crime movie. I was pleasantly surprised w atching the story of Frank Abagnale Jr unfold. It was really interesting and I enjoyed the Dr. Connors plotline the most, particularly the "Do you concur?" scene.  As you may already be aware T om Hanks is my favourite actor. I found his portrayal of Carl Hanratty lacklustre and I didn't enjoy his performance on this occasion. On the other hand Leonardo Caprio in the lead role of Frank Abagnale Jr i s phenomenal and outshone Tom Hanks. In addition, Christopher Walken and Amy Adams are great in supporting roles. Christopher Walken received an Oscar nomination for Best S...

Following the recent release of the heavily criticised X-Men: Dark Phoenix , I thought I would share my ranking of an inconsistent franchise that I love nonetheless. This is my ranking of the X-Men movies, that first appeared with Bryan Singer's X-Men in 2000. 12. X-Men Origins: Wolverine 11. X-Men: Apocalypse 10. X-Men: The Last Stand 09. X-Men: Dark Phoenix 08. The Wolverine 07. X-Men 06. Deadpool 2 05. X-Men: Days of Future Past 04. X-Men: 2 03. X-Men: First Class 02. Deadpool 01. Logan "Hello, old friend." Logan is one of the best comic book movies of all time and is by far the best movie in the X-Men franchise. The swansong of Logan and Charles Xavier is amazing and the X-Men franchise should've ended with Logan . However, X-Men: Dark Phoenix is the last movie in the X-Men Fox franchise. And whilst it isn't the finale X-Men fans were hoping for, it isn't as bad as some people have reported.  But don't despa...
