The New Mutants

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Rendering a list of potentially explosive ingredients mostly inert, The New Mutants is a franchise spinoff that's less than the sum of its super-powered parts.

You know what? It's nowhere near the disaster you'd probably imagine. Go to Full Review A.A. Dowd AV Club 11/20/2020

Even a mangled bit of Whedonese about a toad struck by lightning could benefit a superhero story this starved for character. Go to Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting 11/17/2020

The concept behind The New Mutants is a solid, intriguing one that could've reinvigorated the familiar origin superhero story. Instead, Boone opts for genericism, ending the X-Men franchise with an angsty-teen whimper. Go to Full Review Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) Stereo Geeks (Podcast) Oct 15
It's not a bad film. It's just boring. It doesn't try to push any boundaries. The only area where they did something different was with the relationship between Dani and Rahne, but aside from that, the story is very limited in its scope.

Josh Boone and Knate Lee deliver a reasonably entertaining screenplay out of the generic zone of the superhero genre, packed with detailed character development and decent horror sequences, especially having in mind the low budget. Go to Full Review Kate Boyle InSession Film 03/08/2023

The New Mutants is an interesting film. I both liked and disliked it, either way, I would definitely watch it again. Anya Taylor-Joy was a clear standout... Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Dallis 04/15/2023 one of the worst movies I've ever seen.. See more Tony J 07/16/2021 Slow to start, but ramped up the excitement as movie went along. Looking forward to the next step. See more alexandra r 07/09/2021 Did not have as much action as I would want but still watchable. See more Richard B 11/27/2020 Could have been more action. The whole movie takes place in one place. Needed more locations. The little actions scenes it has are pretty good though. See more April 11/19/2020 Too slow. Needed more action. See more Steven 11/17/2020 It was long and boring. Action was limited to almost NONE. Action scenes were good ( whenever you had an action scene). It was predictable and a waste of money and time. See more Read all reviews
