I have the complete run of New Mutants comics, so was genuinely interested in seeing this. Unfortunately, it dragged a little bit; it wasn’t awful, just lacklustre.
shareI agree. Like a B version of XMEN.
Must have been a bigger let-down for you tho. I expected nothing, but almost walked out after 1 hour. Nothing happened and what did was very cliche and guessable before it happened.
When the first trailer for this dropped 3 years ago, to me it looked like Fox had another big win (specifically in terms of quality) for their X-Men franchise. The film looked like it was offering something the genre hadn’t quite done before, and overall it looked like it could be one of the great comic films
But alas, The New Mutants did not live up to the expectations of many. Nevertheless! I still liked it better than many did. Certainly not as exciting and compelling as it could have been, but it did entertain me and I found to be pretty engaging for the most part. While not one of the best in the genre, it also isn’t one of the absolute worst like some have suggested. It was fine
