If New Mutants is any indication, the future is bright for young adult horror, even when that future is being carved out of the husk of billion-dollar properties. Here’s to the future audiences who will unleash their inner fear bears. Read full review

The scares are more textural than truly creepy, and they’re certainly overshadowed by what’s primarily a character piece, with each person’s fears and anxieties literally manifesting as part of the storyline. Read full review

Boone’s film does demonstrate that there are different ways to approach these franchises outside of the binary of lighthearted/fun and dark/gritty movies that permeate the superhero genre. Read full review

Re-shot, re-cut and somehow rescued from total obscurity, Boone’s movie isn’t half bad. Alas, it’s not half good either. It’s basically just decent enough to motivate those sick of shutdown to risk getting sick for real. Read full review

New Mutants doesn’t feel like a movie made for teens. It barely even feels like a movie that was made about teens. Read full review

The New Mutants spent three years on ice before being allowed to escape into the slowest summer season in a century. That’s fitting for a film that’s all buildup and no bang. Read full review

A huge misfire that even the most hardcore X-Men fans will find hard to warm to. Avoid, avoid. Read full review

The movie was decent to watch at least. It doesn't have the energy like the other comic book movies but it was entertaining at the least. It did a great job recreating the mutants powers . A movie I would again see in the theaters.

Was excited to see this. Finally get to the theater popcorn and soda at the ready. And...... it was a let down.

I wasn't really sure what to expect with this one to begin with but and that's what made me excited about this. What great idea did they come up with? I have a few ideas that would have made this film better. Some stuff I wanted to see happen that I think would have it much more interesting of a tale. I don't get paid to throw those ideas to the studios so I wont say. By the end of the film all I kept thinking in my head was "This is it!?" And "Now it makes sense why this kept being delayed".… Expand

Was looking forward to this movie due to an exciting trailer which was completely deceiving. Majority of what was in the trailer wasn't in the movie also. Only reason this movie was a 15 was simply due to content that had no reason to be in the film.

Esta basura se venía anunciando desde el 2017, ningún retraso valió la pena porque ya desde el trailer se veía lo mala que es, mejor la hubieran tirado a Netflix que es la cuna indiscutible de malas películas, hace ver a Suicide Squad como una obra de arte.
