I don’t get the negativity towards this film. I found it very enjoyable, though I wished it was longer but it was really good for what it was.

Stupid movie don’t waste time or money

What is wrong with the people criticizing this movie for not being “for” children or pre-teens when it’s a PG-13 movie with a known horror bend to it? If you didn’t like the movie, fair, but why do these people even get a vote? They’ve clearly displayed they don’t have the…

The movie started of slow. You were confused at the beginning. The mutants had amazing powers. But failed to show off their potential. What could have been a great action scene ended up being a fight from someone’s imagination. I should have waited for redbox

Pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed it. Magik was great. I thought it would be a wreck, based on all the issues in filming, but it was actually pretty fun. Solid B.

Slow to develop. Not a film I would recommend. The story didn't develop well and I was still scratching my head at the end.

Don't know why this film stayed in limbo for so long before the world crisis, because upon release the build up to this movie stayed lukewarm and proved just that. Bland is giving this title just the right credit.

If you know nothing about the story, then this not your movie. The horror elements are really good. If you have not read comics it will be hard for you to understand, those who have read comics know this better than the causal movie goer

Movie was very slow to get to action. Expected more. No one really used their powers. Wasted money.

Weak story line with dismal acting. Don’t waste your time. Not the Marvel movie we’ve come to expect

Great cast, provocative CGI. But thematic elements fall almost outside the Marvel / Fox scope. Not good enough to be memorable, yet I would encourage anyone to see it. Not for children. Needless sexuality.

I thought it was pretty good but fails to act as a good ending to the Fox X-Men franchise. Had it come out 3 years ago it would be much better!! It had a lot of potential but it’s still worth a watch and if you’re eager to get back out to the theaters then it’s a good movie…

#mutanthorror

This is not your traditional X-Man/mutant movie. It's more of a horror film revolving around kids with mutant powers. There are no big setpiece battles in it, except for the one at the end, and the buildup is slow, but to me it was worth it. No, this one is more of a…

I gave it 4 stars because it had gross homosexuality in it and because of that it got 4 instead of 5 stars.

After a seemingly slow start… this film went all over the place plotwise for the second half of its time. I was left disappointed and confused for sure.

Maybe a Disney plus/Netflix would have been better.

First hour wondered what the plot was..second was better but still not great. Fox just can't make very good Marvel movies that often.

I’m really disappointed in this film after having waited so long with studio push backs and COVID imprisonment. I liked the idea of the horror genre over the standard super hero one however this film left a lot to be desired. There were some good castings yet the acting…

It was not the movie I was expecting to see. Once I was able to set those preconceived notions aside. I was able to enjoy it.

well I glad I finally saw it, wasn't terrible and wasn't really awful at all. loved the story line but left open some loopholes. kids have great chemistry together I thought. I hope that it's a modest success. check it out .

Main protagonists acted very abc Family so they could have gone with someone more convincing. But other than that the cast was amazing and the story introduced the characters very well. Can’t wait to see them all develop in future marvel films

The New Mutants didn’t deserve to be locked away for years. It’s not some unwatchable mess but rather a perfectly fine, entertaining, if at times formulaic small-scale genre movie.

This film is no masterpiece, but the franchise has mutated, just a little.
