Without too high expectations, without too many regrets.

"There are two bears in people's hearts, one good and the other evil. I asked my dad who won in the end, and my dad replied, it's the one you fed."

This should be the longest-awaited super-British movie. After experiencing reshoots, acquisitions, re-cuts, epidemics and other factors, I changed gears 5 times in 2 years, and finally met on the online disk. Say goodbye to twenty years of the X-Men franchise with Fox's familiar opening music.

The film's horror tone, five mutant teenagers who have not yet learned to control the ability are locked in a hospital, tortured by their own fears, and finally face the fear of the moon star - the embodiment of the demon bear. The foreshadowing of more than an hour before ushered in the final battle, and the way of victory is also conceivably monotonous.

This movie may not have so much infamy if it is singled out, as the bead of the X-Men series will receive such "care", but the embarrassing thing is that it really has nothing to do with the X-Men, except for the mentioned Two sentences, it's not as big as Eske's easter egg setting.

It can be seen that the crew is really poor. The whole film is shot in one location, with 7 exposed actors, and the special effects basically only appear in the last 15 minutes. Horror, youth, sci-fi, homosexuality, everything Fox wants, but it feels like it's set for the sake of setting. There are still some interesting points to watch, Anya's body and the music at the end of the credits.

After reading it, I confirmed one sentence, goodbye is really for a better meeting. Hopefully the X-Men will be open, mutant and proud on the MCU stage.

    A very complete film, but also too mediocre. None of the characters have a sense of substitution, and the sudden love of Ji is also very mysterious. It's not a thriller, and it doesn't have the taste of the X-Men department. In the end, I poured a bowl of chicken soup, like an elementary school fable.

The New Mutants quotes

  • [first lines]

    Danielle Moonstar: There's a Native American proverb that says: Inside every person there are two bears, forever locked in combat for your soul. One bear is all things good: compassion, love, trust. The other is all things evil: fear, shame and self-destruction.
