'The New Mutants' hit theaters Friday, and the reviews are starting to roll in.
The film stars Maisie Williams , Henry Zaga , Blu Hunt , Charlie Heaton and Anya Taylor-Joy as misfit teenagers with superpowers who have to team up to fight their way out of a mysterious asylum.
Originally intended to be a spinoff for Fox's"X-Men" movie franchise,"New Mutants" has traveled a rough and complicated road since its initial release date of April 2018. It was delayed to get out of the way of fellow mutant superhero film"Deadpool 2," and then to give it a buffer from the X-Men movie"Dark Phoenix."
It was bumped again after Disney's acquisition of Fox in 2019 and then due to COVID-19 before garnering its current Friday theatrical release date.The Hollywood Reporter"Generic and, at its best, straining to be heartfelt, director Josh Boone’s adaptation of the Marvel spin-off comic series is a Marvel movie spinoff in its own right, making vague references to the X-Men franchise but attempting to stand on its own," the review says.
"That’s a risk The A.V. Club will not be taking to review a movie, any movie," A.V. Club's article stated.
