The last film I covered was The Invisible Man, (nearly 6 months ago).
It's time to get back on the horse.
Josh Boone's X-Men spin-off has been delayed since April 2018, and apparently cursed.
But that's all history.
Maisie Williams - Rahne Sinclair
Anya Taylor-Joy - Illyana Rasputin
Charlie Heaton - Sam Guthrie
Alice Braga - Dr. Reyes
Blu Hunt - Danielle Moonstar
Henry Zaga - Roberto da Costa
Summary
16 year-old mutant Danielle 'Dani' Moonstar awakes inside an abandoned hospital where Dr. Reyes tells her she's the sole survivor of a terrible tragedy.
She's introduced to four others, who like Dani, also have shit going on.
As hormonal teenagers begin to find themselves and learn to control their powers, the alternative Famous Five decide to fight back and escape facility.
Worth the wait?
Hmmm.
For the most part, we endure a boring drama, but third act is thankfully more fun.
When unmasked, Smile Men 'probably' justify 15 cert, but contribution is inconsequential.
Also, would it have broken hearts to spill blood?
Obviously.
Final battle with Demon Bear possesses energy, but straight out of a video game. After a visit from father's spirit, Dani manages to calm it into submission.
Special effects are nice and hairy entity devouring Reyes was amusing.
Most characters are depicted inaccurately and inevitably have come under fire for whitewashing.
Did I care about anybody?
No.
Is Rahne and Dani's romantic relationship pertinent to plot?
(Frowns).
While I have sympathy for troubled production history, series ends on an underwhelming note.
Still, at least result is superior to Dark Phoenix.
