À propos de ce film

In this terrifying, action-fueled film based on the MARVEL comic series, five young people who demonstrate special powers are brought to a secret institution to undergo treatments they are told will cure them of the dangers of their powers. Included are Danielle Moonstar aka Mirage (Blu Hunt), who creates illusions from other people's fears; Rahne Sinclair (Maisie Williams), who transforms into the werewolf Wolfsbane; Sam Guthrie (Charlie Heaton), who, as Cannonball, can fly at jet speeds protected by a force field; Roberto da Costa aka Sunspot (Henry Zaga), who absorbs and channels solar power; and Illyana Rasputin aka Magik (Anya Taylor-Joy). The younger sister of Colossus, Magik becomes encased in armor at will and wields a soulsword that amplifies her multiple superhuman and psychic abilities. Invited by Dr. Cecilia Reyes (Alice Braga) to share their stories about when their powers first manifested, the five "patients" come to understand that they are in a class of people called mutants, who have historically been marginalized and feared. As they relive their origin stories, their memories seem to turn into terrifying realities. Soon, they question what is real and what isn't, and it becomes clear that the institution isn't what it seems. Now the question is - why are they being held captive? And who is trying to destroy them? The tension and horror mount in this white-knuckle thrill ride directed by Josh Boone and co-written by Boone and Knate Lee.

Notes et avis

This movie was absoulute garbage. When I first watch movies, I don't see the small things that are bad, but after movies, I think, and boy does this movie give me a lot of questions. First of all, they never explain what the weird monster thing was or any of the characters backstories. Second, when she "defeats" the bear thing in the end, the battle scene is very lazy. All she did was hug the bear, and BOOM. And lastly, the whole plot is very cliche, kids in a hospital or something with powers.

A promising cast and the penultimate brand for media, totally wasted. An extremely uneven plot, a script that goes out of its way to de-hero its characters and a snail's pace development. If you are in love with all things Marvel (as I am), you might ignore all the reviews and see this movie (which i did). If that's the case, watch it with someone and split the cost.

The New Mutants has creative visuals and a great cast, however I found that the characters were heavily underdeveloped and relied on stereotypes to fill the gaps. The story felt weirdly paced, like I feel this would've been better as a series instead of a movie. I like how it links to previous movies, it did that really nicely. Also I'm a sucker for cute relationships and this movie delivered there too. ^_^ Don't trust the trailers though. This is definitely not a horror movie. its basically your average X-men movie
