The New Mutants (2020)

The number problems with this film would take too long to list. But the biggest was how poorly lit it was. It is soooo dark that you cant make out anything. Often it's dark AND raining to obscure vision even more! There is only ONE mutant, so dont expect massive species on species dust ups. The 'heroes' are a bunch of teenagers in small town America.... so DO expect tired out cliches. It's set in the present, which kinda undermines the origins of X-men. Just dont bother. Really really dont bother.

Fmovies: Yeah I'm going to get downvoted for this but I honestly believe that it's WORSE than Suicide Squad. The acting is awful, the CGI looks bad, the characters are unlikable, tons of plot holes and the logic is all screwed up. I could go on all day but I've only seen the first X-men movie, Origins: Wolverine (which I need to rewatch tbh), and the two deadpool movies. So when I'm talking about the logic and plot holes, it's from stuff that is unexplained in the movie since this movie gave me little care to find the whole story of The New Mutants. I'm not against the Lesbian stuff shown at all but it does feel rushed and would have been better kept in the sequel. Oh well, it's just another movie that introduces new characters to replace the old ones since these new characters fit the agenda by Hollywood (Like the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy and Terminator Dark Fate as examples) today except there are no MaREY sues or Gary Stues thankfully.

I went in with low expectations and yet still left disappointed. I'd like to say something positive but I really can't think of anything right now. The plot, dialogue, characters, acting, cinematography, lighting, everything was just awful.

I don't usually take note of accents in movies, if the characterisations are fine then I usually just gloss over them. It says a lot that even I noticed how bad and inconsistent these were.

The backstories were glossed over and only partially explored for the most part with glaring holes in most of them.

The "hospital" setting was not set up, explained, or even logically consistent. If you don't know who is behind it with a certain name drop, then you won't get any answers here.

Just bad. Bad and a waste of your time. Watch literally anything else. Go for a walk. Play with your dog. Live life. Don't watch this.

The New Mutants fmovies. It's nighttime, it's dark, it's raining. They spent a lot of money on a lot of things that you cannot see. It's all very poorly lit, lots of flashing guns, fleeting shots of A or P. Teenagers now take on both reasonably easily compared when to Arnie. Maybe the A's and the P's are getting older now. The series certainly is.

If someone would have told me that this film is a low budget student film, I would have been really happy. The acting is mediocre, especially from the main character, but not bad. The story is generic, but many have used it to hone their film making skills: do it justice and at least it's entertaining. The special effects are cheap, but hey, it's students, right? They have time to get it right when someone gives them a budget.

But this film is not a student film, but instead a 70 million dollars production from Disney-Fox. The connection with the extended X-Men lore is tenuous at best, the horror element is very generic, copied from so many other C movies that it has become comical and the thing that they never seem to get right is characterization. Watch Maisie Williams in the first seasons of GoT, Anya Taylor-Joy in Queen's Gambit, Charlie Heaton in Stranger Things, even Alice Braga in one of the Spanish films and you will see quality of acting, relatable characters. None in this film. Movies like The New Mutants is where actors go to die.

So it's a waste of time. Mutant X was better than this.

Huge miss. Bland and cliche characters. Terribly obvious script. horrendous acting especially the accents
