Bria Lou Reviews

  This is another one that I was saving because I was really looking forward to it. I'm pretty much a fan of most superhero movie franchises, and that definitely includes X-Men in a big way!  I wrote a post ranking the X-Men movies back in 2018 and I ended up putting this film at number 5, because I loved the prequel movies so much that they overtook my love of the originals.  And while I've seen pretty much all of the movies again since writing that post, it was fun to go into this one remembering that post and now seeing if I'd still put it in the same place. And I'd definitely move it up! I still love the prequel movies, but this one is something special. Of all the superhero movies on the bucket list, this was my biggest surprise because the X-Men movies are never given the credit they deserve. Which is especially sad because they have one of the most interesting and important messages of all superhero franchises. But anyway, on to this specific movie. I like this ...

Hey Guys x I waited so long to watch this film that I wasn't going to write a review on it. However, after the first 10/15 minutes, I decided to write a review, because there's a bit that I want to say. And I guess I owe it to my love of the X-Men series to review the last one. During a rescue mission, Jean Grey (Sophie Turner) is struck by a blast of energy that changes her, and the rest of the X-Men, in ways they couldn't have imagined. For the most part, I did enjoy this film, particularly in the first half. The problem with prequels is that you already know the eventual fate of these characters, so there are no real stakes. And the fact that this is the fourth X-Men prequel just makes that even more apparent. It suffered because we know too much about the future of these characters. However, even from the beginning, we know that this is a much better story than 'Apocalypse' - which wasn't awful, but the story wasn't as tight as it could have been. Whethe...
