Dark Phoenix was anticlimactic as a prequel and conclusion to the X-Men saga. The film tried to really capture Jean Grey's transformation but could not approximate the intensity with action. Fans saw the lackluster script, the uneven pacing of the movie, and the hollow clutching of key moments left rushed. Even with Sophie Turner's commendable effort as Jean, the movie couldn't salvage the dwindling reputation of the franchise.
