What the Critics say | ||
| 24.com Gabi Zietsman  For those of us who grew up with the X-Men, original and rebooted, you should go watch Dark Phoenix just to say goodbye. Who knows what plans Marvel has (cough Storm’s origin story with Black Panther, please cough) - we can only hope that they revitalise the needed message of a group of heroes, fighting for a world that hates them, yet believes against hope in a better future for all. | 10 |  |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Dark Phoenix ends an era of the X-Men franchise by taking a second stab at adapting a classic comics arc -- with deeply disappointing results. | 4 |  |
| CommonSenseMedia Sandie Angulo Chen Sophie Turner is best part of intense, dark X-Men finale. | 10 | |
