Dark Phoenix (2019)

Logan (2017)
In a fitting send-off for Hugh Jackman (Eddie the Eagle, Pan) with his most beloved character (this is his seventeenth year in the breakthrough role covering nine film appearances), Logan, becoming the second X-Men film in Fox’s history with...
X-Men Apocalypse (2016)
For a film which gives a sideways swipe to the much maligned X-Men: The Last Stand by the comment within the film, after some of the characters are seen walking out a screening of Return of the...
Deadpool (2016)

X2 is probably going to be the dividing point between the fans of the comic book and those that are just along for the ride. If you’re a fan, (and I am a casual fan,...
