It was nice attention to detail that you could see his suit was patched up with duct tape.

Movie was good. First part was slow which is weird for a DP film, but second half made up for it. Was Vanisher Brad Pitt? Geeked out a bit at "lady luck take the wheel". Barely remember anything about when I used to read X-Force but that took me back. The Cable/Deadpool dynamic was on point. Solid, good comic book film. 5.8/8.
Also did negasonic have some hips on her or am I tripping?

From the sound of its movie is isnt good
Be warned this is basically the full movie
As other users pressed for answers, the OP shared some detailed plot points in the comments section, with the most surprising revelation being that Dark Phoenix hues surprisingly close to 2006’s much-maligned X-Men: The Last Stand.
“I want to make sure that this is clear – I am talking about the cut of the movie I saw. Things could still get tweaked here and there. But I do believe some things won’t change. What can’t change is the movie being really underwhelming. Really lower your expectations because this one is not good. Mystique dies. They repeat moments from X3 I kid you not.
-They repeat the moment between jean and Cyclops “take off the glasses and kiss me I can control your eyes”
-We see Charles pick up jean as a child again
-jean almost kills Charles again by levitating him and dissolving him
Magneto does become an opposing force again and faces off with Charles’ team. It’s funny because before their fight begins and Charles is trying to talk him out of it magneto goes like “every time we do this it’s the same thing over again”- something along those lines.”
If you want to know exactly how the initial cut of the movie plays out, this Reddit user has us covered there, too. Be warned, though, as the following contains massive spoilers (assuming that all this makes it into the theatrical cut, that is):
“-x-men are like Avengers status at the beginning of the film (which feels really unearned) -astronauts at risk of dying in space(literally the atmosphere not space) due to some cosmic waves
-x-men save them but jean gets hit by waves
-they return and she starts freaking out about her powers
-the movie begins with young jean getting in a car crash with her two parents. At this point after the rescue we find out that her powers were responsible and she feels guilty for killing her mother. We find out that her dad is still alive though so she escapes the mansion all emotional to go find him.
-when jean got hit by the cosmic rays she sent the spaceship flying into space and somehow it ******* lands on an alien planet. The aliens look st the wreckage and go “**** it this means war. Let’s go get the phoenix force” that’s literally their whole motivation.
-jean finds her dad and she gets pissed that Charles lied to her about her parents being dead. But Charles lied because her dad didn’t want her anymore. When she finally realizes all of this she almost kills her dad but the x men come to save her. She is really edgy at this point.
-she kills mystique by accident
-beast gets all mad because he loved her.
-beast goes to find magneto for help to defeat jean
-charles takes the rest of the team to get to jean before the aliens and beast/magneto can
-movie is so boring I’m sorry of this isn’t the best description but the movie ends with a cgi battle and its not very exciting because the aliens look boring and have generic levitation powers (they do shape shift into humans but they LOOK NOTHING LIKE SKRULLS AND THE WORD SKRULL IS NEVER SAID)
-there is an alien invasion and jean flies into space and gives up all her powers to destroy the fleet. The end”
The user then went on to answer a few other questions, which you can find by following the link below. These include revealing the details of Quicksilver’s traditional big scene, the new costumes in the movie and the fact that Jessica Chastain’s villain doesn’t even get a name. He also revealed that the cut he saw was “really long” at “way over 2 hours,” so he expects the theatrical version to be much shorter.
There’s a lot to chew on here, but some of the big takeaways include the relative lack of a cosmic scale to the plot, the reheating of elements from previous movies and the bland villains that are never confirmed to be Skrulls. If it’s all true, then maybe Fox has the right idea after all in sending X-Men: Dark Phoenix back in front of the cameras before it hits theaters next February.

Damn this sounds so terrible
Like worse than Apocalypse terrible. Like a cross between BvS (to get fans of the Dark Phoenix story mad) and JL ( just cuz its so laughably bad with cgi 3rd act.
I knew Fox could not use the Skrull in the X-Men. Same reason the F4 and X-Men were never in the same universe. Two different film contracts.
But man this sounds like it sucks even more with no Skrulls, no Shi'Ar empire, etc. Like damn. Generic telekinetic shapeshifting aliens?
They have so many aliens they have the rights to they could use like the Brood, or those broccoli aliens.
