The underdeveloped antagonists probably being the biggest of them but despite that it still has a lot going for it. Certainly more than Apocalypse did. Phoenix is awesome, the human element actually carries some weight here and it has some of the best X-Men teamwork in the franchise. Glad I saw this theatrically too as I really enjoyed the score and overall impact of the audio presentation.

Was going to wait for the home release but I'll definitely make a trip to theater now.

Well I hope you like it. I rather enjoy the X-Men films for the most part and didn’t think Apocalypse was as bad as people made it out to be either. So take that for what it’s worth. Dark Phoenix falls somewhere in the middle of the pack for me when looking at the franchise as a whole.

A tip: don't expect a sequel that ties up all the storylines from the past movies. Don't expect all elements of the Dark Phoenix saga to be adapted.
Look at it as a fun standalone sequel to First Class and you will be entertained. Especially if you like McAvoy and Fassbender in their roles.

"I am Mother" - 9/10 - Small scale bottle science fiction film that plays on unreliable narrator tactics as not sure who to trust.
If you enjoy smaller sci-fi affair I'd suggest it, reminded me in parts of "Moon". Lot of classic tropes it uses to misdirect and redirect without ever feeling inconsistent or cheap.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Why would that be ridiculous to a comic-book fan?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_timeline
...This is seen most clearly in the case of comic book characters who debuted as teens in the 1940s or the 1960s but who are still relatively young in current comics. Events from the characters' pasts are alluded to, but they are changed from having taken place years ago to having taken place more recently.
