X-Men: Dark Phoenix

Movies, ReviewsSeptember 23, 20190Comments

The best thing about the movie is definitely Will Smith, whose makes a triumphant return to his comedic roots (which I believe is his forte) and is very much reminiscent of his days in the Fresh Prince, and definitely does not try…

John Wick
