This movie was supposed to come out ages ago, and as an X-men horror type, looked interesting. Of course, being a big comic geek, I know the characters and pretty much knew what was going on from the start. That didn't make me enjoy it any less. This is a good group of kids, with fun abilities and backstories. I would have liked more at the end, and would absolutely watch more with them.
Coming of age movies are a genre that I quite enjoy, if done right. This one definitely takes it in a different direction. Taika Waititi has been taking the world by storm, and I'll watch anything he makes, or is in. An all around very good cast and setting. Sure the accents vary, but that can be easily ignored for comedic reasoning.
Bruce Willis can be pretty good in action movies...but he isn't much of an actor. I would never have believed him as a doctor. This was actually too close to his role in Unbreakable, which is a much better movie than this. Even Vincent, who is often a very good actor, is underused here.
