Les Nouveaux Mutants

Feels different than other films in this genre. Never really commits to the horror aspect which is disappointing. Runtime felt short. Some out of place CGI. Distracting accents. Watchable.

The movie is okay. A one time watch. It is expected that a sequel will follow. This movie has reference of X men but nothing to do with it. Acting is decent. Don't have high hopes with this movie. Just a time pass movie.

No amount of acting and effects can make up for terrible writing. Lets just say they set up certain things in the movie and then never use them. You're like, oh the beginning of the movie said this, but don't expect anything to happen because... bad writing.

It really peaks near the beginning, then really drags on. Theres a fight scene near the end that is endless, unbelievable, really repetitive. The climax is anticlimactic so....

There was potential for a good movie, and the actors did fine, but the characters didn't act like real people. It was so obvious what was going on but they dragged on every single story element and repeated it. I feel bad for these actors; Truly a waste of money and talent.

Part of the reason it was so bad is because it has an intellectual level of Spy Kids, super predictable and stereotypical moments but placed and set up so poorly that they have no emotional depth. It checks all the boxes except being interesting and having a good plot... you know... like missing the whole point of movies.

It was an OK movie all in all, but it could've been SO much better. I was personally stoked for a horror mutants movie, but this is as much horror as any other superhero movie (and less than some) so I must say I was very disappointed. The idea of was there and it could've been SO SO good but in the end, it wasn't...

A thing that really distracted me was the actors weird accents. You have a group of really good actors here but the bad accents made them just seem mediocre.

The New Mutants is the last entry in the Fox X-Men franchise before Deadpool 3 that would merge it with the MCU. It has very loose ties with the X-Men franchise. It does have an Easter egg that would make it better if it released earlier. It does have some horror aspects, so this is the X-Men movie I recommend to horror fans. I find it good that they finally did something with Magik. It'll be better if was more about her. I would also find it better if it has more connections to the greater X-Men franchise with Magik being Colossus's sister and there being a small tie to Logan. It can feel a little short in my opinion. It'll be better if it's a half hour or a full one longer and having that R rating, leaning a little more into the blood and possibly a scene of full rear nudity.
