An engaging and intimate character driven portrayal of emerging Mutant abilities as a metaphor for transitioning into adulthood. Danielle Moonstar is an engaging protagonist with a compelling perspective and is played really well by Blu Hunt. Read more

Josh Boone's The New Mutants is an interesting mess of mutant drama, not quite leaning into the horror elements enough, oddly bouncing back-and-forth in tone and execution. It's one of those films that you admire for swinging for the fences, despite it striking out almost immediately and in disastrous fashion.

But the young cast are attractive and entertained me for the (pleasantly short) running time. It’s not going to win any prizes for originality, or indeed anything else. Read more

The New Mutants tries to offer a compelling blend of teen drama, horror and X-Men mythos, but ultimately fails to deliver a good entry in any genre. Read more

New Mutants is a film trying too hard to cash in on proven youth market formulas, but the concoction fizzles. It doesn’t really work as an angsty romance, misses the mark as a horror movie and never for a minute feels like a superhero flick. Read more

I think this film is really frustrating because it feels like a huge missed opportunity. You can definitely see glimpses of greatness here, but the film just ended up feeling like a television pilot. Read more

Tonally it doesn’t know what it wants to do. Instead, it just throws things out there hoping it would stick. It really did not work sadly. Read more

The New Mutants is the most boring kind of superhero movie, one where nobody wants to be a superhero and everyone spends the film moaning about the burden of their powers. Read more

Als laatste hoofdstuk van de inmiddels twintigjarige X-Men-filmreeks is The New Mutants absoluut geen knaller, maar van de dertien films die de serie nu kent is het ook verre van de slechtste. Read more

Deels ondermaatste tienerhorror en deels halfgebakken superhelden-film. Als Marvel zich honderdprocent had ingezet op beide aspecten had je waarschijnlijk een krankzinnige film gecreëerd zoals we die nog niet eerder hadden gezien binnen het genre, wat een gemiste kans... Read more

Niet dat ze slecht speelden, maar we zijn simpelweg beter gewend. De spanning wordt wel lekker strak gehouden, mede omdat de film grafisch heel mooi in elkaar zit. Read more

The New Mutants is een goedbedoelde poging iets nieuws te doen met het superheldengenre, maar helaas niet echt een geslaagde. Read more
