Unfortunately I will not be able to see the movie until its available online to buy,
so far I heard it is mixed to average with good performances, which for a NON MCU movie must be good by the low mcu standard.
Anyone seen the movie drop your objective honest thoughts.
Overall, like I did predicted, before all the push backs, disney fox merger it was a movie with good potential.

Hahahaha, by this logic Daredevil (2003) is like The Winter Soldier.

Why do you still call me summers8?
Joshwilding is an MCU shill. LOL. Comicbookmovie is wildly know for having a MCU bias.
here is a positive review
We also know it would be better than most and if not all the MCU movies. most mcu movies are bad. fox at least can range from average to great.
Black Widow would have fared worse, even with all the protection it will get from critics.

You said daredevil which was pretty good. In 2003 the standard for comic films were very high with Spiderman 1 and X2 around that time. daredevil may not have met that standard but it is better than most of the theme park childish mcu movies we have now.
you dare not say X2, DOFP or Logan. that would have been a different ball game. would be curious to see more stuff of those who have seen new mutants when you think this could be the last decent xmen film.

I remember when Daredevil came out. People thought it sucked then. And it still sucks now.

daredevil like many free thinking comic films is ageing better than today's cooperate theme park comic films.
I would rather have directed daredevil than endgame or captain marvel.

That's funny because Daredevil was clearly a corporate reaction to Spider-Man's success. It was made with dollar signs as it's primary motivation. The Netflix series thankfully wiped it from everyone's memories. That's ok though, you'll be able to watch it on Disney Plus soon enough. Keep banging that head of yours on the wall.

From the Hollywood Reporter. TEXT: 'The Fault in Our Stars’ director Josh Boone takes on this latest Marvel venture, adapted from the comic books originally spun off from the X-Men series. If you’ve never seen a teen movie, a superhero movie, an asylum-set psychological thriller, Nightmare on Elm Street or a single episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, then perhaps The New Mutants will be something of an eye-opening experience. But for most of the planet — that is, the portion of the planet able to see this new release from Disney’s 20th Century Studios in a movie theatre — and especially for the film’s likely target audience, Mutants will provide an eye-rolling case of déjà vu. Generic and, at its best, straining to be heartfelt, director Josh Boone’s adaptation of the Marvel spin-off comic series is a Marvel movie spinoff in its own right, making vague references to the X-Men franchise but attempting to stand on its own. Unfortunately it rarely does, even if the film’s trio of young and tough female leads manages to give your typically male-dominated genre something of a feminine twist. Shot in 2017 and subjected to a lengthy post-production period that included plans for reshoots, the sale of studio 20th Century Fox to Disney, several postponed release dates, including one this past April due to the coronavirus pandemic, and a domestic release finally slated for Friday in a country still debating whether going to the movies is safe at all, you can’t say The New Mutants has had an easy run thus far. To further complicate matters, Disney did not provide screening links or a COVID-safe screening room for U.S. critics, some of whom are now refusing to review it. (In my case, I saw the film in a movie theatre in central Paris on the morning the French Prime Minister announced that masks would now be mandatory in cinemas. Most people wore masks at the screening — protective masks and not X-Men masks.) Since it was made three years ago, The New Mutants already feels like it belongs in another, perhaps more innocent, epoch. More specifically, it feels like it was made sometime in the 1980s or '90s and that it was inspired, along with the above sources, by the proto-high-school movie classic The Breakfast Club — that is, if the latter were set in a semi-state-of-the-art asylum where five adolescent mutants from a variety of backgrounds undergo group psychotherapy as they try to master their new powers. Told through the point of view of Dani Moonstar (Blu Hunt), a Native American who survived a traumatic disaster and then wakes up strapped to her bed in a remote psychiatric institution headed by the mysterious Dr. Reyes (Alice Braga), the story follows Dani as she learns she’s not alone in this strange science fair experiment. Her fellow inmates include Illyana Rasputin (Anya Taylor-Joy, The Witch), a Russian with teleportation abilities and a bad attitude; Rahne Sinclair (Maisie Williams, Game of Thrones), a Scottish girl with fierce animal instincts but a good heart; Brazilian pretty-boy Roberto da Costa (Henry Zaga, co-starring in Boone’s new series based on Stephen King’s The Stand), who’s too hot to handle; and Sam Guthrie (Charlie Heaton, Stranger Things), a good ol’ Kentucky boy who talks like he was raised by a jug of moonshine and has the power to project himself at lightning speeds. All these characters hail from the very first The New Mutants graphic novel (created by Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod) published back in 1982, and Boone, along with co-writer Knate Lee, allows us to witness their origin stories as recurring nightmares that happen inside the hospital — nightmares that, like Freddy Krueger, can become real. He also gives us a heavy dose of teen angst, with Braga’s Dr. Reyes reminding us all-too clearly that “mutation most often occurs in puberty.” But more often than not, their angst takes on the bland flavor of an Afterschool Special, or perhaps a Disney movie, including a scene where the gang drugs their doctor to sleep and then throws a dance party with the kind of faceless rock music you hear at The Cheesecake Factory. Much is left unexplained as to why the kids are there and whom exactly Dr. Reyes works for — the characters briefly mention Professor X’s mutant academy — yet there’s something so generic about the setup and situations that the intrigue only carries us so far. Even the handful of twists meant to be vaguely new, such as a same-sex love affair between two of the heroines, wind up feeling familiar, which is perhaps why Boone actually inserts a clip from an episode of Buffy showing the same thing. The movie isn’t even as scary as it could be, a fact that could be explained by the need to maintain a PG-13 rating, but in the end we’re only reminded of recent teen horror ensembles like It that worked much better. A potentially terrifying sequence where the kids are pursued by a horde of fanged monsters is upended by the fact that the monsters are all wearing what can best be described as disco shirts, each of them buttoned halfway to the top. (Are they meant to be Eurotrash-men from hell?) At best, Boone coaxes good performances from his cast, especially the troika of Blu, Taylor-Joy and Williams, who add layers of panache and emotion to their characters while kicking ass at the same time. Per Wikipedia, The New Mutants is meant to be the last entry in the X-Men series — one of the film’s producers, Simon Kinberg, directed the rather disastrously received Dark Phoenix, which came out last year — but you could easily see these three young women joining Marvel Studio’s growing gamut of superheroines. It’s just too bad the movie that launched them doesn’t have the same impact. As far as the mutant franchise goes, it never makes its last stand. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/the-new-mutants-film-review

I imagine this movie is probably a mess considering its sordid history. I'll still see it though, I've seen all the others. But I will have to wait until it comes online.

Such low standards. its not low standards. its a much higher standard. better to direct your own thing than follow a hand out formula. this is why most people dont think mcu movies are real movies and are just manufactured.
a lot of directors have directed bad and weak movie but at least it is their own thing. that is the highest standard.

Sigh, so the last great X-Men movie is forever Logan.

No stupid directing their own thing is not a "standard" it's a goal or a reward, learn to fucking talk properly you dumb shit. Also "most people" you mean you, for fuck sake just own your own shit for once you sad little fuckwit. New Mutants also apparently has 22% on RT and an average score in the 4/10's by most accounts it's a bad movie, no surprise given how many times they moved it around, no faith in the product for a reason it seems. But do go on and tell us the importance of directing ones own thing rather than an actual competently made or successful movie and how all the negative reviews are Disney shills...PSSST FYI THIS IS A DISNEY MOVIE NOW!!! Like just so you know Disney has nothing to gain from this movie bombing or being seen as a pile of shit, the better it does the better Disney is, so the they're shills, SHILLS thing is fucking retarded.

No, I don't need that. I just hope to love the movie and bring it to my blu-ray collection. Movies make me dream.
