Watched X‑Men: Dark Phoenix (2019).

Not bad, but it’s not dark at all de­spite the ti­tle. The sup­posed cen­tre of Phoenix’s in­ter­nal con­flict is mud­dled, and the main bad guys are as bor­ing as they can get. 

It feels like I have watched just an­oth­er TV dra­ma episode of X‑Men, not the grand fi­nale of the franchise. 

The act­ing is fine over­all with two ex­cep­tions: So­phie Turn­er is great and Jen­nifer Lawrence could not care less. It’s def­i­nite­ly not the worst X‑Men, but it is cer­tain­ly be­low av­er­age. ⁵⁄₁₀
 

And Men In Black: In­ter­na­tion­al (2019).

The main ac­tors are great, but they were not able to over­come the ter­ri­bly auto pi­lot script and di­rec­tion, and se­vere lack of jokes. 

MIB is such a cool foun­da­tion of dif­fer­ent sto­ries and all they did was to make some­thing that is noth­ing more than an un­fun­ny soft re­make of the first film, much like the Ghost­busters (2016) re­boot which was also done by Sony Pic­tures who are des­per­ate to have their own lu­cra­tive cin­e­mat­ic universe. 

Also MIB as an or­gan­i­sa­tion is an im­mi­gra­tion bu­reau and the film doesn’t seem to have any com­men­tary on our cur­rent immigration/refugee is­sues. ⁵⁄₁₀
