It’s a combination of “The Breakfast Club” and “Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors” set in the X-Men Universe!

Also contrary to critics and fans, I enjoyed Dark Phoenix (2019). I look for effort, competence, imagination and ingenuity. New Mutants has these. The final product is not shameful in any way. It's a psychological X-men, less ambitiously psychological than Logan (2017). Maybe in 2020, when male-created profit-driven culture is collapsing under its own weight all around us, neither Dark Phoenix nor New Mutants, two movies about confronting the irrational, inner wolf inside--the American Shadow--is too close for comfort for critics.… Expand

*MINOR SPOILERS*

Although it has its fair share of problems i really "the new mutants" enjoyed the movie. I really dig the horror themes in it and, although now that CB movies are getting more experimental, for a movie that was meant to come out in 2018. New mutants would of helped paved a way for more horror themed comic book movies. Especially for the kid friendly MCU movies. some of the characters i felt really stand out. mainly the troubled illyana/magik and the smart mouthed roberto/sunspot but i felt like some defining that moments could of helped fleshed out these characters. A example could be illyana's past like what where those smiley demons and why did she kill 18 men? Sam/cannonball did fall flat regarding his presence but i did like how protective and friendly he was to his fellow patients/prisoners

I really did enjoy Dani's and Rahne's relationship. yes i admit it did feel abit rushed and i would of loved to explore rahnne's religious upbringing in the movie, another missed moment in the movie, i feel like there relationship could of helped be a starting point for LGBT representation in marvel movies. especially in 2018 when representation was starting to pave way with phase three.

(Marvel or Disney if your reading this saying a character is LGBT and only dropping a few throw away comments about IS NOT representation) This movie does have some good moments. Them being the chemistry and performance of the main cast, the horror themes (especially for a PG-13) and that final fight with the demon bear, props to illyana for being a major badass.

Final Thoughts
After the sh*t show that was "Dark Phoenix" I am glad that the Sony X-men-verse did end with something bold and new. While the movie does some flaws with its pacing and character arcs. I feel like this movie is a fun watch especially if your in the market for something that isnt too complex and easy to follow. Overall I liked the movie and hope that Marvel integrates some of the characters into the MCU, Mainly blue hunt as Mirage and Anya Taylor-Joy as Magik, or use dani and rahnne as an example for Queer characters.

Lastly shout out for the logan reference. Love that movie… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Good film. Not the best film ever, but not bad in my opinion. My random thoughts: some of the characters changed from the comics for the worse. Such as characters now are a different race with lighter skin. Illyana acts like a jerk and a racist making racist remarks. Illyana is loved by many fans of the comics. Good time spent character building and developing the history and personality if the characters. The actors and actresses did a good job! Some character accents come and go during speaking unfortunately. It could have been scarier as some trailer footage is missing. Wish it was in the movie.… Expand

For starters, unlike the usual Marvel Spectacle we get it was nice to watch a superhero movie that was more about the character study of these young teens. Usually the X-men films have barely touched base with their characters and only get some of them right ( Wolverine) but here I found myself really connecting to these mutants and hoping for the best whenever the inevitable danger presented itself.
Since Disney bought Fox we really don't know what ended up in the cutting room floor but for what i gather it must have been allot since the editing feels way off at times, almost like it's in a rush to get to Plot A to B in a matter of minutes. For some this might be where the movie falters but for me I enjoyed seeing what was coming next and being on the edge of my seat. The VFX look great and when the action starts it really delivers on mutant powers , however since they're budget was low you can tell they were very limited to what they can do, and for that I can't fault the movie for trying to overcome it's shortcomings.
The actor that I will be most sad to see go is Ana Taylor Joy as problematic as she was written in the beginning i grew to love her as Majik and she embodied the character so perfectly it felt like she leapt of the comic book page at times. Maisie Williams did wonderful too , her scenes With Blu Hunt( Dani MoonStar) are the heart and soul of the movie and prove these movies can go beyond just the normal teen romance we're so used to. Feige take notes. Charlie Heaton and Henry Zaga do great work too , sadly they're very underused and i wish we had more time with them.
As for the horror elements promised in the trailers , i mean it's there but it's not scary it's more surface level if anything , as much as i hate to admit maybe this movie could have done some reshoots to polish some scenes and add more creepy elements but for what we got i still liked it's too bad it was very quick. Being that it is canon to the x-universe there are some cool little easter eggs, if you've seen Logan you'll get a kick of what they reveal later on.
So The New Mutants, the two year cursed film that was destined to never make it to the big screen. Is it worth going out to see ? if you love the characters and know the comic lore like i did you'll enjoy it or what it was but for the casual movie goer don't expect an action packed cinematic experience this is more on the lines of Dream Warriors meets One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest.… Expand

The charactersAfter a very long delay waiting for this film to finally hit theaters I am pleasantly impressed with it. I did see some reviews where they felt the film was “rushed” but honestly I don’t know what you would fill the time with. The characters were fleshed out and each one showed a level of vulnerability and humanity that many films with longer run times didn’t do. I think people have become spoiled with MCU films and were expecting something within that realm. This film was meant to be an introduction as well as small and intimate, that way each character gets some time to shine but also isn’t bogged down with unnecessary exposition and mindless filler. The graphics I have to say were very top notch and clearly they spent their budget where it needed to be unlike other films with a much bigger budget and wasted it on horrible CG (cough Black Panther cough). The movie also didn’t waste my time with forced unnecessary humor and to me it worked in the films benefit because it made them feel more real. I also loved the link it had with another X-men film which made it feel that 20th century was going for an expanded universe which is a shame that it may never happen. Personally I really enjoyed my time with this film and only time will tell if we will see another adventure with Sunspot, Magick, Cannonball, Wolfsbane and Mirage… Expand

I think the reason the reviewers are so hard on it is that this is a fairly small story on the big screen. X-Men movies tend to be big, ambitious affairs; almost the entirety of this movie takes place in one location. This would have worked better as pilot episode of a New Mutants TV series.

This was supposed to be released in mid-2018, and then Disney bought out 20th Century Fox and the film was put on hold for two years. This ended up being the last of Fox's X-Men movies, which is a shame because I would have loved to have seen the planned sequels.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I finally watched The New Mutants, thanks to HBO Max, and I loved it. The visual effects were phenomenal especially Demon Bear, the Smiley Men, and Illyana's powers. The performances from Anya Taylor-Joy, Maisie Williams, Blu Hunt, Charlie Heaton, and Henry Zaga were outstanding. I thought the writing was great especially the relationship between Dani and Rahne and how they touched on darker more serious subjects like sexual abuse towards children with Illyana and struggling with you religious beliefs with Rahne. The makeup and hairstyling was excellent especially on Maisie Williams, Anya Taylor-Joy, Alice Braga (especially the wound makeup from Rahne attacking her), and Charlie Heaton. The costumes were superb especially ones wore by Anya Taylor-Joy and Maisie Williams.

All the characters are likable and fairly interesting, and they aren't one dimensional. I wasn't bored at any moment of the movie. The CGI effects were good, too.
