The New Mutants

Don't know why this is getting sick bad reviews. It's not top notch Marvel but it's entertaining enough. A solid three star out of 5.

It's basically one flew over the breakfast club with added superpowers. The characters are likeable, and at an hour and a half it neither outstays it's welcome nor eats into post cinema drinking time.

I doubt the box office will justify a sequel, which is a shame as I'd like to see what happened next.

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.

67.000.000 $ for this crap?! For this money we could shoot 100 movies, and at least 5 of them would be great.

I went in with low expectations and yet still left disappointed. I'd like to say something positive but I really can't think of anything right now. The plot, dialogue, characters, acting, cinematography, lighting, everything was just awful.

I don't usually take note of accents in movies, if the characterisations are fine then I usually just gloss over them. It says a lot that even I noticed how bad and inconsistent these were.

The backstories were glossed over and only partially explored for the most part with glaring holes in most of them.

The "hospital" setting was not set up, explained, or even logically consistent. If you don't know who is behind it with a certain name drop, then you won't get any answers here.

Just bad. Bad and a waste of your time. Watch literally anything else. Go for a walk. Play with your dog. Live life. Don't watch this.

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.
