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.

Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) You know what? It's nowhere near the disaster you'd probably imagine. Rated: 3/5 Nov 22, 2020 Full Review A.A. Dowd AV Club Even a mangled bit of Whedonese about a toad struck by lightning could benefit a superhero story this starved for character. Rated: C Nov 20, 2020 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting 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. Rated: 2/5 Nov 17, 2020 Full Review Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews 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. Rated: B- Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Kate Boyle InSession Film 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... Rated: C+ Mar 8, 2023 Full Review Joseph Garcia Dynamic Duel Podcast [The teen horror genre] analogizes the fear of our formative years with the fear of the supernatural. And the X-Men comics created a metaphor about the unease of adolescence through characters with powers that manifest in puberty. I love the pairing.

Dallis one of the worst movies I've ever seen.. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/15/23 Full Review Tony J Slow to start, but ramped up the excitement as movie went along. Looking forward to the next step. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/16/21 Full Review alexandra r Did not have as much action as I would want but still watchable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/21 Full Review Richard B 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/30/21 Full Review April Too slow. Needed more action. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/21 Full Review Steven 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/31/21 Full Review Read all reviews
