I saw it this past weekend. Maybe it's because my expectations were so low after all the delays and re-shoots, but I thought it was entertaining enough.

Would the horror in it appeal to someone who doesn't much care for the x-men aspects?

Looks like PG13 crud. Not interested because of that. Perhaps if it was rated R, it’d at least be a tad more interesting or at least gruesome. Some stories just require an R rating. |

THE NEW MUTANTS is a horror/action movie about 5 super-powered young adults (Rahne Sinclair/Wolfsbane, Illyana Rasputin/Magik, Dani Moonstar/Mirage, Sam Guthrie/Cannonball, Roberto da Costa/Sunspot) who simultaneously deal with a physical threat and their inner demons. That sounds like a fresh new take on the X-MEN franchise, right? No, this spin-off is more of the same, but at least it's short and quick enough to fly by. I won't spoil the ending by going into details, but I will say that it comes off as hollow. No time is devoted to the girls processing what they've been through. The boys on the other hand get little to no development during the entire plot. It's hard to judge the actors, because their ability to deliver their lines convincingly varies from scene to scene. The visual effects are underwhelming, while Peter Deming's cinematography is terrible. Not just because of the lighting, but also some shots compositions. For example, when Illyana fights on a staircase. It's hard to make out exactly what happens because certain objects are blocking the view. 5/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog. |
