This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a possible logical perception, that the colour green is the colour of meanwhile. The meaning of meanwhile. It's a possible logical perception, that green is one of those colours of the meanwhile. Green appears early, in The New Mutants. Not only that, it appears as the unfolding of a brick wall. The meanwhile and openness are at one, in the beginning. Later in the movie, the open dies, and so does the meanwhile. They die together. Later in the movie, the green is cut out, and angles take over, and thus, percentages and mathematics in the latter part of The New Mutants are conscious. Deception is mathematics, and Dr Reyes is only deceptive once she is deceptive.

(This is where I need to listen to myself, instead of going into the stream.) What I'm not looking for, is the art of structure; I'm looking for the franchising of philosophy (via angles, the early green hill, with the overtrees over it, the deadends of the institution, and the facial close-ups).
Back to the green hill, that's seen and used early in the movie . .

At the green hill, used by Dani Moonstar, the forthcoming is the terrifying - which is because the meanwhile is in cahoots with the green hill. The openness isn't the forthcoming, it is the green hill. Like a bar. The shooting down over the hill; it's a mirror to the bar philosophy, of The New Mutants. Specifically, The New Mutants is the story of bars. The 10 minute bars. Or, the 10 minute slots. They begin with openness and meanwhile being allies, to later on the revolution of angles and mathematics. The rise of mathematics; the rise of cynicism. Except, the beauty of angles have taken over, and become allies of mathematics, in order to protect the cynicism and deception at play. Morality doesn't just protect itself, it protects its antithesis as well.

Whether you're just getting out of the shower, eating dinner, arriving at work, arriving at home, or reflecting on a Sunday, before the dreaded Monday, The Green Hill by Dani Moonstar and Illyana Rasputin supports the original X-Men movie, by Bryan Singer, and that movies' meta-theme of the unattainable female literary agent being the aristocracy that supports that movie. Despite all his efforts, to be another meanwhile in Sonic The Hedgehog, James Marsdens' Scott Summers in the original movie will forever be my Romeo (even if I am straight), a perception that traits of The New Mutants supports.

Thank you, to Josh Boone. I'm pleased very much, that his name is after the contents of this review.… 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. I really do not understand why critics didn't like this movie, I thought it was amazing and a A+ movie to me.… Expand

The New Mutants is a psychological horror superhero movie with a very simple premise: a bunch of teenagers with super powers are stuck in a place and bad things start to happen. Not very original, but effective. There aren't many filler and exposition scenes. I feel like every scene has a purpose and advances the plot. 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. I never watch horror movies, but in the context of this movie, I thought the horror elements worked great. I think horror works well with the superhero genre.

The New Mutants has a lot of potential. I'd like to see a sequel.… 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

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

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

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

*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

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.

Hopefully now that the film is out we can get s proper take on the subject.… Expand

Not as bad as I thought it was gonna be. Some of the editing and accents were bad, but overall all I could have seen this being a pretty good franchise in the X-Men universe.

Low to mid tier marvel production here- watchable but nothing exceptional. Feels like a missed opportunity to do something unique. Cast are ok but the lead actress feels like a mis-step. Nothing essential to see here.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Decently acted with excellent special effects. Well worth a watch for fans of the comic. Seeing Magik and Lockheed in live action was done quite well! Hopefully this won't be the last time we see this acted play Magik. She was really good. The other characters were portrayed fine, but Magik was the standout.

Now that all the good stuff is out of the way, I can't help feeling that the story was just not worthwhile. Having the whole thing revolve around one character's manifestations got boring. I could not help thinking that the story would have been better had the focus been on the characters working through their differences and eventually coming together to figure out that they are being groomed not for the x-men, but some other evil purpose. Then battling that entity. This was set up and is part of the movie of course, but the story never explains who was holding them, who was pulling the strings and why. It just gets brushed aside. Could have made an excellent tie-in to the larger franchise if they did it correctly.… Expand

The script was bad. It tried to do too much and be too many things. The pacing and the tone were also problematic. I appreciate the effort and vision of trying to make a hybrid film, but ultimately the superhero tropes conflicted with the horror tropes, and they diminished rather than enhanced one another. It's a shame.

The acting is top notch. The special effects were okay. It's def worth seeing if you're already a fan. Otherwise, skip it.… Expand

I had heard of The New Mutants a lot, and seeing how awesome it looked I thought I should really give it a try. On top of that it was even going to be a horror movie so a superhero-horror could be a fantastic combination (Unbreakable Trilogy,I had heard of The New Mutants a lot, and seeing how awesome it looked I thought I should really give it a try. On top of that it was even going to be a horror movie so a superhero-horror could be a fantastic combination (Unbreakable Trilogy, Brightburn - it always works for me). And now that I have just seen it, I feel betrayed to levels I cannot even comprehend. The above average rating that I'm giving this movie is only for the awesome visual effects. The CGI is very well done and the colour grading is on point. But that's pretty much it.
The New Mutants is not even one and a half hours long. Normally I would have complained about it since I hate it when movies charge five hundred rupees and don't entertain us for even two hours, but since it was released digitally in the middle of a pandemic I will allow it, since it means I get more time to watch something else. However, this movie even lacks a plot. Not a cohesive plot or a good plot, but a plot itself. The only thing we get in the runtime is the exposition, kissing scenes, teenagers partying and occasionally back stories. In most of the scenes I would start laughing because of how badly the scenes were done.
The acting is done very badly, especially by Dani, which is ironic considering she's the main character. Her only personality is that she is a Native American. Her backstory concerns that, her being bullied concerns that, her character development concerns that, and heck, the opening and closing speeches also concern that! The score is also very, very bad. There are so many 'scary' scenes in this movie which could have legit scared me if the background music and camera angles were better. And this movie had so many subplots which were never talked about. I guess there was supposed to be a sequel to this where this would have been talked about more, too bad.
If you just remove the VFX this movie would become the worst in the X-Men franchise. One thing I really like about X-Men movies is that it can never be completely bad. I'd put this movie above at least Dark Phoenix and The Last Stand because of how good it looks. I read some reviews here and found out this movie had a lot of studio meddling, so I'd give it a benefit of doubt. Probably it could have been something better, but we will never know.… Expand

Okay Hollywood, no more superhero-horror movie hybrids. You had The Crow. You had the first Hellboy. You even had Blade 1 and 2. Unfortunately, every other attempt you've made at marrying these two genres together has proven to be prettyOkay Hollywood, no more superhero-horror movie hybrids. You had The Crow. You had the first Hellboy. You even had Blade 1 and 2. Unfortunately, every other attempt you've made at marrying these two genres together has proven to be pretty disastrous, and this latest effort is no exception.

To be fair, The New Mutants does have a GREAT premise. Take a bunch of teenagers struggling with the unfortunate consequences of their newly awoken powers, lock them in a psychiatric facility with a doctor operating under the guise of wanting to "help them," and then give one of them the ability to literally bring all of their fears to life. It's an borderline brilliant idea, but the execution is so awful that only occasional and very brief flashes of the excellence that otherwise could have been ever show through. The lead actress can't act, its most interesting character (Magik) is underdeveloped, and the way it transitions from serious moments to ones where the cast are behaving like you would expect a bunch of horny, damaged pubescents to out of nowhere leads to a lack of tonal cohesion between a lot of the scenes. It has all the right elements to be the perfect millennial/Gen Z cape-and-costume flick, but never gives any of them enough room to breathe causing to whole thing to feel more like a janky pilot for another inevitably disappointing CW show rather than a well-executed proof of concept.

Case in point, these teens have some of the coolest powers I've seen in a comic book adaptation since Bloodshot, but they don't really get to use them outside of the admittedly exciting final battle. Each character is compelling and seemingly layered in their own unique ways, but aren't explored much beyond the surface level. The plot also ultimately ends up going nowhere as it saves the major developments and inevitable showdown with the real big baddies for a sequel that we now know doesn't have a chance of getting made. I enjoyed this movie the most when it was trying to scare me. It's actually quite effectively creepy at certain points. Things like the smiley face men made my skin crawl showing that Josh Boone could have some potential as a horror filmmaker should he decide to go further in that direction at some point in the future. Which makes his upcoming remake of Stephen King's The Stand have some appeal to me whereas it otherwise didn't. However, given how strongly Magik's backstory ties into this side of things it only makes the fact that they sidelined it all the more frustrating.

Like Spawn, Venom, and so many others before it, the final entry in Fox's X-Men universe is a misfire. Largely because it squanders so many of its most promising aspects more than anything. I can't think of another film I've seen that fails to capitalize on or sometimes even recognize its greatest strengths in the same way this one does. Which made me walk out of that theater feeling like I had seen where things could have gone right and ultimately disappointed with what we got instead.… Expand

Even recently with mostly bad reviews and press, I wanted to see it for myself. And ... it pretty much sucked. That doesn't bode well for future work from Josh "The Fault in my Stars" Boone (e.g. "The Stand" mini-series. We pretty much know the gist from the trailers. Young mutants are haunted/harassed by something in a mental hospital. The best parts are pulled from the X-men series in which mutants first find out their powers, typically represented effectively on screen. Most times these scenes are fun, but the special effects are a mixed bag, jumping back and forth from decent to cheesy. Most of the ensemble cast are relatively new up-and-coming stars such as Maise Williams ("Game of Thrones"), Anya Taylor-Joy ("The Witch/Queen's Gambit"), and Charlie Heaton ("Stranger Things") but the acting is mediocre, and worst of all, they butcher whatever accent they are supposed to have (Irish, Russian[?], and U.S. southern respectively). And the story -- disappointing to say the least. If you drop your expectations to a bad 90 minute "Buffy the Vampire" episode, then maybe you'll find something to like.… Expand

This will most likely be the last X-men related project to have the 20th century logo. The X-men happen to be my favorite superhero team so I always have high hopes for any film remotely related to them. However this is a minor disappointment. The concept of blending superheros with horror though interesting is executed terribly. The first half of the film just drags its feat so you end up wondering when something is going to happen. Add that to the fact that the characters are written in such away that they all feel cliche, yet the actors do portray there respective characters well, especially Maisie Williams who played Rahne Sinclair and Anya Taylor-joy who played Illyana Rasputin. However, good acting wasn't enough to save this film. In conclusion unless you are a hard core X-men fan who needs a movie fix than stay far away from this film.… Expand

Long before Disney's acquisition of Fox began, the X-Men franchise was a mess in terms of cohesion and quality.

They triedLong before Disney's acquisition of Fox began, the X-Men franchise was a mess in terms of cohesion and quality.
The original trilogy ended on very bad terms with The Last Stand and the first Wolverine spin-off was a disgrace.

They tried again with First Class. Good, but forgettable.
They were able to restart everything in a better way with the ambitious Days of Future Past, because that film's ending was pretty much a reboot but, no, Fox **** it up again and they chose to deliver the terrible X-Men: Apocalypse and then it became quite evident that the franchise was dying and it was dying in a very ugly way.

Logan gave a satisfactory conclusion to the character, but let's be honest, that Wolverine was very, very far away from being the Wolverine that we deserved.

X-Men Dark Phoenix was the last nail in the franchise's coffin and I say this because New Mutants, even after its brutal delays, is nothing more than the leftovers of the rotting corpse.

I don't know what kind of story they tried to tell here but it's quite easily to see that the narrative approach never fits these characters.

I know they were trying to separate this film from what the others of the franchise did but it doesn't work.
I admire they tried because it's an example that you can try different stories with characters from comic books but you also have to know how to do things right and do some justice to the characters.

It's no surprise that the only person who leaves an impression is Anya Taylor-Joy, maybe this job will get her a better future character in the MCU or maybe in DC, but she could definitely be in a better film.

From what remains, I can only say that this is finally the farewell for the mutants at this stage of their life on the big screen.
What's in store for them in the MCU? I can only hope for better stories.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not a terrible movie, but not a great movie.
The casting was more-or-less well done, though Heaton and Zaga don't fit well with their comic book counterparts (an optimistic farm boy and a Brazilian soccer star, respectively).
The romance between Rahne and Dani is fast paced and irrelevant to the story. Even as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I can see the pandering. The movie's climax is, unfortunately, anticlimactic and obvious with each character getting their 'power spotlight'. The character of Cecilia Reyes is horribly destroyed in the film given that she's a dedicated medical professional in the comics (i.e. Do no harm).
Overall a good watch, but glad it won't be part of ongoing efforts.… Expand

It's not a good movie by any means -- it's not a good superhero movie, nor is it a good horror movie (it can barely even be called a horror movie despite being marketed as one) -- but at the very least, it's much more watchable than either X-Men: Apocalypse or Dark Phoenix... for whatever that's worth.… Expand

It's a spinoff movie based on the comic/team of the same name and focuses on lesser-known mutants Mirage, Wolfsbane, Cannonball, Sunspot and Magik. The premise is simple "Five teenage mutants undergo treatments at a secret institution that will cure them of their dangerous powers. Invited by Dr Cecilia Reyes to share their stories, their memories soon turn into terrifying realities as they start to question why they're being held and who's trying to destroy them". I remember watching the first trailer and it was very interesting especially since it portrayed this movie as a horror x superhero movie which was something new. However, it had a lot of background development problems with Fox executives wanting reshoots to make it more horror causing a delay, Disney merging causing it to be in limbo, the coronavirus causing it to be delayed again. It eventually released 3 years after being filmed. The question is was this movie worth the long wait?

Firstly, the cast is pretty good and deliver for the most part. They do a good job for what they have been given and are convincing enough in their accents and portrayal of their character archetypes. Additionally, the chemistry between the entire cast is good even when they are antagonistic against each other. Wolfsbane (Maisie Williams) and Dani/Mirage (Blu Hunt) are great in scenes involving them together and Magik (Anya Taylor-Joy) is charismatic and dislikeable at the same time. Secondly, the third act of this movie is pretty enjoyable to watch with its surprisingly good action scenes and good CGI. Seeing the characters powers are also visually fun to watch. It is also the first superhero movie to give a proper representation to the lesbian community and not in the dumb "Star Wars" way.

Unfortunately, there isn't anything else to praise about this movie. The first two acts of this movie are so boring and extremely slow-paced. The first act has a lot of setups to introduce us to the characters and the director (Josh Boone) does this by having constant talking. It was just so mundane and uninteresting to the point that I was begging for something exciting to happen. There is a scene where all 5 of them decide to have fun by taking a lie detector test and it is so draining to watch. The main character Dani gives a monologue about some Demon bear that feels like it is going on for way too long. The second act starts to have things happen but when these things happen they only last 10 seconds before going back to some boring conversations again. The characters aren't great themselves as they are all cliche archetype. We got Dani whos the nice POV main character, the nice girl Wolfsbane and nice boy Cannonball (Charlie Heaton), the **** boy Sunspot (Henry Zaga) and **** girl Magik. They all remain these type of characters from beginning to end with maybe Magik somehow not being an **** anymore with no explanation. None of the characters has any depth to them and you barely know anything else about these characters as their past are not completely elaborated on. None of the "surprises" in this movie is even surprising as the story is entirely predictable. The antagonist is predictable and all the explanation for the things occurring in this movie are also predictable. The horror aspect of this movie is all in the second act and there are barely any of it which is hugely disappointing. Furthermore, they are not even that scary. The superhero aspect of the movie is not handled well either due to pacing issues and boring characters. It also feels like scenes are missing from time to time such as the aforementioned Magik personality change where one scene before she is frightened and then 15 seconds later she is suddenly a badass without fear. Potentially the reshoots were going to fix this but sadly it never happened.

Overall, this movie is a gigantic disappointment. Even though the movie had a great and unique concept, it doesn't matter when the execution is poor. It's not a good superhero movie and it's not a good horror movie either. Thankfully, the movie is just 90 minutes and the third act of the movie can give you some enjoyment but there are better superhero and horror movies than this.… Expand
