Tony: Explains entire Dark Phoneix Saga plot line from the comics. Me: Wow, this sounds fascinating. Tony: But that's neither here nor there. Me: Oh. OK.
Your comic book knowledge makes your reviews above everyone else! It makes me want to pick up a comic book. Plus your humor is unforced and genuine! Keep the movie reviews coming🙌🏾🙌🏾 #weouthere
As a history teacher, I am so tired of that BS inaccurate comparison. Malcolm X was no damn "villian" . He was opposed to nonviolence in the face of white supremacy violence. King was not passive. His tactics were confrontational against segregation and effective for changing laws leading to affirmative action, voting rights and civil rights.
Bruh, I love your reviews. They literally determine if I'm dropping coins on these flicks. This format is absolutely dope! Comic book fan for life. #respect #haberdasheryandhemoglobin
This review is amazing. Your attention to comic book detail is uncanny. I thought I was the only one that felt that they made quick silver too fast. It’s visually appealing, but doesn’t make a ton of sense in the heat of battle. You’re great.
From what I saw, they were all phoning it in. But I don't see that as the fault of the actors, but the director, who also wrote this. It was like the director forgot what made these characters great and compelling. He threw all of that out and made these characters completely unrecognizable. The story was also bad. Things happen for no reason. We are introduced to Chastain and all of a sudden she is a villain. They have no clear motivation as to what they want to do. The same with the military showing up randomly at the place were Magneto was. It didn't make any sense. Action scenes were good, but it didn't save the movie for me. Because what made X-Men great were the characters. No Saxophones. This movie is that bad.
BrothaCharles Ward you can eat your own poop but doesn’t mean you want right , Storm is an fucking icon for all nerds in the 90s. Having her to make a few ice cubes is an insult
I never sort of liked that Storm was played by Berry and the other actress. I always thought that character had more presence than what they bring. Also, they keep using a lighter skin tone than the cartoon/comics. I'd like it if they can find an actress like Angela Basset, or even kinda like Grace Jones. The character controls the weather, like Mother Nature Personified... So make her have more fierceness.
I just found your channel and I love it!!!! Great review! I agree with all your points. Lets pray in 5 years or so we get a more true iteration of our beloved characters.
Great review, Tony. That said, I watched Godzilla II last night, and you ruined it for me. All the things you touched on in your review made me laugh at the wrong times when watching the movie. When Mark(?) stepped out and started screaming for his daughter, I burst into hysterical laughter. I even started going "Kanan!!" So in summary, screw you, Tony. 😂😂😂😂😂 EDIT: "JeAn!!!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
X-Men is too my fav comic book & Magneto is my fav comic book character.....That being said XMen movies been trash for awhile now, they coulda stopped after 1st class, my personal favorite. I view Logan as it's own thing....But there is noway in hell that Marvel makes a XMen movie without Wolverine....I'll be cool if they go the 90s cartoon route with the line up, & give my man Gambit some love
Love this review, the movie was just ok to me. I did like the action scenes but I don’t feel like they know how to tell this story well. I feel like the killed Raven off because Jennifer Lawrence was soooo over it. You could definitely tell in that performance. I would like them to keep this Magneto when they go to Marvel, he’s my fav.
Why’s it named Tony Baker comedy!? Your review was on point! Your fair and objective, you presented your opinion with facts and accurate references. Thanks looking forward to watching more videos!
Everytime you do cyclops, "Jean!" I laugh 😆😂 I think Nightcrawler is by far the best - he came in as an unknown but he brings more than a lot of the main characters. X-Men just makes me sad because I loved the cartoons. Oh, imagine X-Men written like The Watch man 😲
I think X men 1 and 2 and Days of future past were great, you didn’t mention these besides Deadpool and Logan. But I agree Jennifer Lawrence phones it in , she needs to go First class was pretty good too
They really screwed up Mystique’s character, she was supposed to be more like Magneto and maybe even harsher than him. I have said I think it was because everyone is so used to Jennifer Lawrence being the heroine, they altered her character.
Cyclops has always been in my top 5, used to be number 1 but was replaced by Gambit as I got older. And for whatever reason he just gets done dirty in the cinematic universe. Yes he can be whiny even in the comicverse when it came to Jean, but he always was a significant part of a good chunk of the stories. In the cinematic universe Scott feels like an extra that just happens to bear the name Cyclops and that’s pretty much all there is to his character. If it doesnt involve Jean, he basically blends into the background with the trees and shrubbery and you forget he exists until Jean appears again.
I literally haven't been able to watch Logan because of how emotionally invest I am into X men 😂 Great review! I love going back and just watching all of your reviews!
They gotta bring Tony in as a consultant when they start production on X-men films in the MCU. Or at least give the brother a minor role in one of the films
1st allow me to say Tony Baker you have the simplest and BEST movie reviews I have ever seen. They are done just as well as Leonard Maltin from Entertainment Tonight back on the day. I thought this was one of the best X-Men movies I have seen in a while! Quicksilver...Yeah He was running TOO fast. LOL
Anyone that remembers xmen animated series from the 90's knows what he's talking about with Cyclops constantly yelling JEAN lol. Even though that animated version of Cyclops was pretty cool.
Man, dude you are incredibly generous to this film. Me, I have no intrest in this flick. But I appreciate that one reviewer isn't all about beating that dead horse.
she is an overrated over actor anyway...she gets way 2 many plaudits..did u ever c American hustle.it is cringe..hunger games.. pant..red sparrow is lame.silver lining playbook is her only gd film...she jus sleeps 4 roles..she so banged harvey Weinstein
Thanks for your honest review Tony, I saw it yesterday too and I didn't think it was as bad as critics and other youtubers are saying either. I thought I was tripping but I think dark phoenix was a way better movie than Last stand, x men origins wolverine, the wolverine and last stand. These critics just think they better than us out here.
Great review Tone! Funny as always and so informative. I'm excited to see this movie. The trailer reeled me in. I like X-MEN too for the same reasons. I can get into more than the other Marvel movies for some reason. Thanks again for a great movie review. 😁
They re-made x3 but it was more streamline and that upset me. I think if the phoenix story is ever done in the movies again, it needs to be like a 2-3 part movie storyline and pull more of the comics with the Hell Fire club , the Shiar and Jean taking out that sun. I actually thought that was what they were going to do when this was first announced a year or two ago.
Great review Mr. Baker. I didn't see Dark Phoenix. I got fed up with Fox's treatment of the X-Men franchise after Days of Future Past. I look forward to seeing what the MCU will do with the X-Men (and the Fantastic Four).
I don't think Fox ever got the XMEN right except for Charles, Magneto and Nightcrawler. I was so excited to see them come to life on screen and when Last Stand came around I realized we'd never see correct depictions of the characters and stories. I only hope Disney/Marvel can do right by the X-Men when the time comes. Oh and yeah, totally subscribed.
Tony!!! This movie better be as good as u say cuz I’ve been hearing terrible reviews about it but, imma give it a try cuz u said it’s not that bad. All because of u tony!!! All because of u...
“I’m all about mutants. Everyone else can get this work” I want that to be an exact quote
I want that to be shirt!
“Whatchu mean, JEAANN!?!” they always got Cyclops always wining “JEAANN!!”. That had me weak 😂😂😭. Deadass tho
"jean, jean jean!" as bad as "marcia marcia marcia!"
That "JEAN!" is killing me. Lol
😂😂😂
😂🤣😂🤣
Lmao 🤣.. He ain't lying tho that's all they've given us from Cyclops smh
Jordache Jordan 😆
I replayed it 10x🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best alibi, “What you mean, I was eating cereal this morning.” 😂
Tony: Explains entire Dark Phoneix Saga plot line from the comics.
Me: Wow, this sounds fascinating.
Tony: But that's neither here nor there.
Me: Oh. OK.
SAME lol
Check out CBG19's Dark Phoenix Saga break down if you want more detaild w/out reading the comics, but above all read the comics
Right I grew up on the 90s TV Show. I never read the comics. I liked his breakdown.
😄😩😄
Jean!!! (Cyclops voice)
Levi's or wranglers Sir!!!!!!😭
“I’m rescuing everybody, everybody dead” 🤣😂
Cyclops entire movie script: *"JEAN!"* 😲
I love how Tony got the Empire so Calm "Jean Grey Gotta Die" No Emotion just straight to the point 😂😂😂
I was cracking up on that one too🤣
Still waiting on a decent Gambit, because that's my dude.
Richard Chua been waiting almost 20 years 🙏🏾
Your comic book knowledge makes your reviews above everyone else! It makes me want to pick up a comic book. Plus your humor is unforced and genuine!
Keep the movie reviews coming🙌🏾🙌🏾 #weouthere
You cute as fuck
Hi_ Tamera hey pretty lady
That’s Tony’s style, he’s a smooth comic
Hi_ Tamera but he’s wrong tho. In the comic it didn’t happen like that for jean.
julian swimpson thirsty ass nigga
"She got a Note Pad..."
LMAO 😂 😂 🤣
I busted out laughing when he said everybody dead when he was talking about quicksilver
Xmen deserves so much better from marvel. Low key I just realized Magneto is Malcom X and professor is MLK.
Nope. Malcolm X was not about killing he was about self defense, Prof X is not a pacifist...
@@veksone77 by any means necessary......
Yeah the comparisons to Malc and Mlk is not accurate plus i wouldn't put mlk in high regard casuse Malcolm was black first.
Yes and now that marvel has control and not fox their stories can be be told and done the way they should ..
As a history teacher, I am so tired of that BS inaccurate comparison. Malcolm X was no damn "villian" . He was opposed to nonviolence in the face of white supremacy violence. King was not passive. His tactics were confrontational against segregation and effective for changing laws leading to affirmative action, voting rights and civil rights.
Dark phoenix story can only be good as love story between cyclop, wolverine, and jean.
O wait that was done😂
Yeah just like batman movies and you there's only a few good ones so........
I love xmen, but you're right the movie wasn't terrible (like i was prepared for) but also wasn't amazing. I would give it 3 saxophones as well
Bruh, I love your reviews. They literally determine if I'm dropping coins on these flicks. This format is absolutely dope! Comic book fan for life. #respect #haberdasheryandhemoglobin
David Barnes what up cuz
Tony
I praying that you get to direct movies!

That part was funny lol
Hahaha

Fassbender 👑
Right I thought I was saying it wrong for a second. Lol
I Knewwwww this comment was around here somewhere 😁
CJ Benson I kinda wanna call him “Fastenbender” from now on. 😂
@@adiayarnarts2567 🤣🤣🤣u and me both
He is always butchering these actors names, unapologetically. I love it.
days of future past was Lit AF
Right!
blah!!!
Dofp is one of my favorite comic book movies of all time I think it's better than most marvel studios movies and I'm a huge fan of marvel studios.
This review is amazing. Your attention to comic book detail is uncanny. I thought I was the only one that felt that they made quick silver too fast. It’s visually appealing, but doesn’t make a ton of sense in the heat of battle. You’re great.
Lets be real. After 3 flops back to back. Is Lawrence phoning it in or just sucks?
I MISS THE ORIGINAL MYSTIQUE😤
Jean was just as fed up 😅.
I was like; GO JEAN!👏
"She gotta notepad" 😂😂😂
I love when i scroll past a comment right when tony says it
"They were both in Kick Ass, fun fact for ya mane"🤣
"She got multiple notes...she got a notepad" lmao
I really like how u do reviews, it's super chill and I feel like I'm talking to one of my friends
They need Gambit back and done right.
This
Great review. Great video, as always.
You had me at the Shi'ar Empire pulls up and Jean said "Huh? I ate some cereal this morning..."
From what I saw, they were all phoning it in. But I don't see that as the fault of the actors, but the director, who also wrote this. It was like the director forgot what made these characters great and compelling. He threw all of that out and made these characters completely unrecognizable.
The story was also bad. Things happen for no reason. We are introduced to Chastain and all of a sudden she is a villain. They have no clear motivation as to what they want to do. The same with the military showing up randomly at the place were Magneto was. It didn't make any sense.
Action scenes were good, but it didn't save the movie for me. Because what made X-Men great were the characters.
No Saxophones. This movie is that bad.
I didn't like that they made Storm make ice cubes at the party.
Yeah that's more Icemans thing
She can do it too
I was like oh so now she's a fucking refrigerator???? Did her eyes turn white at all in the movie? Her scenes went by so fast
BrothaCharles Ward you can eat your own poop but doesn’t mean you want right , Storm is an fucking icon for all nerds in the 90s. Having her to make a few ice cubes is an insult
Pissed me off so bad Fox don't understand Storm or Cyclops ..
I brought the Dark Phoenix saga weeks ago and it was used version from 1984 with a foreword from Stan Lee and I absolutely loved it. It was epic af.
I never sort of liked that Storm was played by Berry and the other actress. I always thought that character had more presence than what they bring. Also, they keep using a lighter skin tone than the cartoon/comics. I'd like it if they can find an actress like Angela Basset, or even kinda like Grace Jones.
The character controls the weather, like Mother Nature Personified... So make her have more fierceness.
EXACTLY👍😁😁
What's sad is it's a great story , and they keep trying to skip to the end.
I just found your channel and I love it!!!! Great review! I agree with all your points. Lets pray in 5 years or so we get a more true iteration of our beloved characters.

Jeannn!!! 😂
💀💀💀
Liked this vid before I watched it all he way through. Tony, your reviews never disappoint, man!
Michael Fassbender definitely needs to be brought in to MCU as Magneto
Modernlifeof definitely. He’s an amazing magneto
X-Men is too my fav comic book & Magneto is my fav comic book character.....That being said XMen movies been trash for awhile now, they coulda stopped after 1st class, my personal favorite. I view Logan as it's own thing....But there is noway in hell that Marvel makes a XMen movie without Wolverine....I'll be cool if they go the 90s cartoon route with the line up, & give my man Gambit some love
That would be amazing.
Kelsey grammer was visually the best beast. Dudes jack ripped but he's got his reading glasses on.
Love this review, the movie was just ok to me. I did like the action scenes but I don’t feel like they know how to tell this story well. I feel like the killed Raven off because Jennifer Lawrence was soooo over it. You could definitely tell in that performance. I would like them to keep this Magneto when they go to Marvel, he’s my fav.
Just think, what if they shot xmen like the last batman trilogy
That would've been so bomb and now you have me thinking
Uuuuuuughhhh J Law 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Can they just recast her already. Rebecca had less scenes in the older X-men movies and stole the scene every time.
This review is great! Your comic book knowledge is excellent!
Ever thought of doing quick run-throughs of comics? It's nice to have someone just hit the key notes without getting into long explanations.
I love Tony reviews, this man just gets it. Keep em rolling.
CYCLOPS: STIFF, TIGHT, WHINNY !!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dark Phoenix should be a High Quality Disney+ show. Make it into a 3 season series. 8 episodes per season, no filler episodes
Freeform?
JLAw has been phoning it in since she got the OSCAR....
Why’s it named Tony Baker comedy!? Your review was on point! Your fair and objective, you presented your opinion with facts and accurate references. Thanks looking forward to watching more videos!

Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to watch it and have a blessed day
Wait, how did he pronounce 'Fassbender'??? I'm crying lmaooooo
A lot of ppl don’t know Magneto and Professor X are based off of Malcom X and Martin Luther King Jr.
I think X men 1 and 2 and Days of future past were great, you didn’t mention these besides Deadpool and Logan. But I agree Jennifer Lawrence phones it in , she needs to go
First class was pretty good too
I love First Class and Logan, those are my favorite X-Men movies
They really screwed up Mystique’s character, she was supposed to be more like Magneto and maybe even harsher than him. I have said I think it was because everyone is so used to Jennifer Lawrence being the heroine, they altered her character.
I'm glad that he knows about the storylines that the comic book movies are based on.
Omg the cyclops impersonations😂😂😂
Tony keep up the good work
Jennifer Lawrence isnt playing Mystique. Shes playing Jennifer Lawrence: Jennifer Lawrence and the X-men
Dude you hit the ball out of the park. Loved your review as you said the X-Men were my favorite comic books.👍🏽
Good shit my dude! Loved the review
I think your review was dead on point From JenLaw to Cyclops. Excellent review, I absolutely agree...
X-men hit or miss movies but that movie Logan whole nother level
Are you African or Indian guyanese?
