After three years of marathon running, it has been called "new gear change" after repeated delays due to a series of obstacles such as "too poor quality", "substitution of the owner", "epidemic delay", "direct streaming media" and so on. Man"'s "New Mutants" has finally been unveiled.
The movie is naturally unsurprisingly unremarkable, and the fetters imposed between the characters have no bright spots, but fortunately, Anya's appearance is super good, and she shines brightly in it. The film's meager budget probably spent most of the money on Anya's secret guest.
Spoiler alert
It is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it. This was my first impression of The New Mutants.
Is this movie ugly? No, several new mutants were "isolated" in a place far away from the hustle and bustle, and they were all asked to "control their abilities" here because they accidentally killed some people, but with the death of a new girl When they arrived, each of their nightmares came true one by one, and the secrets hidden behind this institution slowly surfaced.
But if you want to say how good this movie is, I really don’t have it. The plot is barely self-consistent, and the relationship between the characters is functional and shallow. The setting of everyone’s inner demon is a bright spot, but these The nightmares come true scenes are more just stuffing the plot and have not been delved into.
Therefore, "The New Mutants" is actually more like a movie specially made for streaming media. On weekends, everyone can happily take popcorn and watch and sleep in front of TV without thinking. If you go to a movie theater and only watch a mediocre movie with an effective duration of only 80 minutes, I am afraid that many audiences will not be happy.
In fact, I had some expectations for this movie at first, because "The New Mutants" was Fox's attempt on the "superhero horror" theme. At that time, Gunn's "Evil Superman" and "Magic Child" had not been released. Wei's "Doctor Strange 2", which is trying to use the multiverse to create a horror atmosphere, has not yet been approved, and I am also very interested in what kind of sparks these two themes can collide.
At least from the final cut version, it's really not scary at all.
Evil priest scared by little werewolf
The big bear in the heart of the heroine Danny
Girlfriend burned to death by rich children
Coal Mine Kid's Memories of the Mine
And the smiling face in Anya's childhood memories
The reason why these horror elements, which may have good potential, become unproductive, is probably that the film does not take the time to establish a "anticipation of fright" for the audience. All ghosts, or plots, seem to develop. Too fast, too smooth, too intimidating.
For example, in the section where the fire man was in the pool, it only took a few seconds from the appearance of the ghost of the girlfriend until the ghost of the girlfriend started to burn. The Wronged Soul completely burned the horror atmosphere with the special effects of burning.
In ordinary horror movies, whether it is an ordinary family or an exorcist, they are always weak and powerless in the face of demons. But in this movie, except for the little werewolf, all people can kill one if they are crazy, so when a group of smiling people attacked, the audience was not thinking of despair and fear that they could not resist. Instead, I thought that these children could finally use their superpowers well.
As for many times in the film, they have to cry and run away despite the fact that they can use their superpowers to solve problems, and the speed of the smiling man is like a zombie without any threat. further and further.
Although the plot of "The New Mutants" is quite satisfactory, there is still a small reversal that is a bit interesting in concept (although the actual effect is not good), that is, children can become X-Men after they think they can control their abilities. The institution is owned by Professor X, but it was later discovered that the experimental institution wanted to use them as humanoid weapons for some dirty assassination operations.
Although the idea is good, and there is a bit of Wolverine's feeling in Stryker Labs, but the movie is too poor to bear.
This organization is up and down, inside and out, and there is only Dr. Reyes alone. He can't even hire a small worker. No matter how you look at it, it is not a kind place. Of course, this so-called Essek company is really suffering. Dr. Yes, to take care of so many ignorant children, and to stay up all night to monitor everyone's physical signs.
Of course, the most complaining thing is that Dr. Reyes is so powerful. When he made up his mind to get rid of Danny, he chose the most inefficient and slow injection of venom. So complicated, it's no wonder the doctor said "this is a test on her".
Finally, the biggest attraction of this film is undoubtedly the scene of Anya fighting the big bear.
Although, it only looks good for a few seconds, and these seconds are all shown in the preview.
Anya, holding a big sword in hand, fought with the little flying dragon Lockheed turned into a doll, and fought fiercely with the big bear for a while outside the camera.
When she got indoors, Anya, whose physical strength was declining, could only fix the bear's toes.
Ah, the picture is wrong.
In the end, it is up to the heroine Dany to influence the evil bear with love.
Well, if the money is not enough, I can only shoot like this, and as a spectator, I can't ask for too much.
Speaking of which, A few years ago in Anya's "Mr. Glass", several people with superpowers were imprisoned in a research institution, and she was also a female supervisor. Anya also participated in it, and she was in the scene design with "The New Mutants". It's quite similar in many ways.
Of course, the doubts about one's own abilities discussed in "Mr. Glass" are still deeper than this film, but when it comes to the shabby scenes in Super Heroes, "The New Mutants" is still much better than "Mr. Glass".
At least, Anya is handsome for a few seconds, and there is a CG bear.
No one drowned in a puddle like Bruce Willis.
