| Message | The various X-Men leaders may disagree, but in the end they all believe that working together to defeat evil is more important than desire for vengeance. Themes and messages include understanding desire for personal power vs. need to help greater good; working with others, even those you disagree with; not allowing your past to define you. Friendship, teamwork, self-control, hope are all important. |
| Role model | Jean is thoughtful and caring, doesn't want to hurt people she loves; she's also fierce, fearless, the most powerful being in the universe. Scott is protective, determined to save Jean. Professor X truly believes that if mutants use their powers for good or for law enforcement, they will be accepted by non-mutants. Raven is loyal to her friends, only wants to help younger mutants. She believes in telling the truth, even though Charles isn't above keeping important secrets. Hank is intelligent, selfless; he works tirelessly to keep X-Men safe, teaches younger mutants. Several strong, powerful female characters; at one point, Raven jokes that the team should be renamed X-Women. Somewhat but not hugely diverse cast. |
| Violence | Tons of big, superhero-style action. Explosions, close/hand-to-hand combat, lots of superpower vs. superpower fights involving flight, weather manipulation, moving objects and people via telekinesis, shooting destructive laser-like beams from eyes, manipulating metal, transforming into a beast, moving with super speed, teleporting, etc. (both against one another and on humans). Impalement. An alien race can kill instantly -- bashing in humans' chests/hearts with mere touch. A main character is killed in a bloody way; another seems dead. Very sad death of a parent in an early scene. |
| Sex | Flirting and a few passionate kisses between established couples. Both Raven and Hank and Jean and Scott seem to live together and are shown kissing, hugging in rooms together. |
| Language | Occasional use of words including "s--t," "damn," "Jesus Christ" (as an exclamation). One use of "f---ing." |
| Consumerism | Nothing obvious on camera, but offscreen there's tons of X-Men/Marvel merchandise. |
| Drugs | The X-Men and Academy students drink at a big party (Jean downs a few drinks). Adults drink at a dinner party. Charles pours a glass of whiskey during a sad moment. |
Dove Ratinghttps://dove.org/review/17193-dark-phoenix/ | |
| Faith | None |
| Integrity | |
| Sex | Some kissing |
| Language | Medium cursing such as "Jesus/Jesus Christ", "Da**", and "Sh**"; one use of "Fu*****" |
| Violence | Comic book violence that also includes blood, death of main and emotionally connective characters |
| Drugs | Some mild drinking between main characters; younger characters party and drink. |
| Nudity | None |
| Other | None |
