I still remember how I felt when I watched "Dark Phoenix", and I felt disappointed in the regret. It was really unpleasant to see the big series ending in such a sloppy way since I was a child, so I decided to start a new "New Mutants". "Have great expectations, especially the horror atmosphere created by the first trailer, I can't help but believe that the old fork man I love still has infinite exploration possibilities~
Then after a long delay, the notice was released and released again, and the schedule was delayed again and again, and finally it was delayed to 2020. Now that I think about it, it makes sense to release it now. After all, it can successfully go through the channels of online screening. If this film is released in theaters, it will definitely lose money.
In my heart, "The New Mutants" has a brilliant record, not only overpowering "Dark Phoenix" to become the worst fork guy (although it's not a big deal), but also beating "Birds of Prey" and "Bloodblood" to win the worst Super League of the year .
First of all, the original setting of "The New Mutants" is a horror movie, and you can understand it by looking at the initial publicity and movie trailers. But judging from the recent versions of the trailer, the movie has begun to deviate from the original setting, but I didn't expect it to be so wicked.
The setting of the story is a standard horror movie setup, with perpetually dark skies and a dead hospital, a group of troubled teenagers and a doctor who doesn't seem like a good thing, and if you get another ghost, it can start scaring . But the film's interpretation of the label "horror" ends here, and the rest are half youth films and half monster films, interspersed with a very boring same-sex love. From the beginning to the end, let alone the horror section, there is not even the lowest level of jump scares, and the sense of horror you try to create is also very deliberate. Basically, after watching this scene, you can immediately think of the next scene.
Putting aside the label of a horror movie, it is equally embarrassing to simply see "The New Mutants" as a youth science fiction action. Generally speaking, this is an old-fashioned story of several teenagers healing each other and gradually opening their hearts to defeat the demons and move towards a new life, but it would be too cramped to compress this youth story with multiple characters into a 90-minute sci-fi action movie. It's too easy to open your heart. Just a simple foreshadowing, you will start to be a new person, and you will start to express your heart in the next second. Before you can fully express your heart, everyone suddenly unites and joins forces to fight monsters. It's like playing. Especially the lyrical scene in which the heroine gets out of the predicament at the end, it is embarrassing to see people committing cancer. Personally, I don't like to pursue the completeness and coherence of the plot when watching this kind of popcorn, but this story is too perfunctory. The story is badly written, and the action scenes are not commendable. The scene of the secret guest to the bear seems to be watching "The Rise of Skywalker", and the scene of being surrounded by laughing people is "Miss Pei's Fantasy Castle". .
Speaking of these "new mutants", a copy of Sunspot, a mini werewolf, a human missile, and a Jedi Knight who can travel through different worlds, in terms of individual combat power, they can be sent to the Fork Men team as the main combat power. , but was trapped in the hospital by a doctor who could put a protective mask on. A little werewolf's sneak attack can seriously injure the villain. If you don't kill her with just a few strokes, why are you still squatting here? Your worst enemy is neither the doctor nor the company, but the screenwriter.
If it is only based on the sense of disappointment, it is a proper one star, and it is highly not recommended to watch it. One more star for the beautiful Anya Taylor-Joy, the girl has a bright future in the future.
