Josh Reviews Dark Phoenix
I still remember how thrilled and excited I was when I saw the final shot of Bryan Singer’s X2 back in 2003. Jean Grey had sacrificed herself to save the X-Men in the battle at Alkali Lake, and in that final, blink-and-you-missed-it shot, we saw a hint of flame rising from und
