Fox never learned their lesson. Almost everytime they go against the director, they fail , waste and lose money. Trust the expert movie makers

I remember seeing a trailer for this movie like, 6 years ago...😂

I remember being excited on the idea of a horror film that takes place in the X-Men universe, but as time went on, and the more it kept getting delayed, I lost interest in New Mutants.

I honestly didn’t know this movie had even come out yet.

A great concept dulled by studio whiplash interference. The final product felt like a first draft, good, but unpolished. I had heard some of this, but the video really rounds out what a crazy time this battered feature really went through.

I want to know the behind the scenes story of Bumblebee, on how it was gone from a prequel to a full on reboot that actually saved the franchise.

Too much pandering? Yeah, typical Fox...

I started reading comics with the New Mutants Demon Bear storyline so I am fond of these characters. Magic was well casted although I preferred the more innocent version from Chris Claremont. Wolfsbane was good. But Dani Moonstar, I imagined a taller girl with leadership qualities; and it's a pity that Hollywood doesn't get that people of the same sex can have a deep friendship and not be gay. I wish they had a shorter actor for Sunspot and Cannonball should have been lanky country boy. Still, it really wasn't that bad a movie.

I just don’t know why they didn’t write the story around the little girl from LOGAN ,.... that was the best angle to start the new mutants

This movie should have been great, I'd love them to take another shot at New Mutants and with the Horror Vibe Boone intended but after this movie, it's very, very unlikely

Studio heads are ruining more and more movies with the goal of money. It has to be a blockbuster or we wount make it. There aren't going to be any series left at this rate

I just want a Director's Cut

I actually enjoyed the movie for what it was. So much so that I saw it three times in theaters. To me it was a small and eerie supernatural thriller that just happend to be connected to the X-Men universe. And it helped that the characters were really appealing.

I liked the look of the film right from the first trailer, and was desperate to see it. I headed to the cinema when it was released and I wasn't disappointed. I really enjoyed it. A sequel developing what happened here would have been great. Alas, looks like it will never come to be...

This movie was one of the last movies I saw in theaters before they all shut down a second time. Smh

This one was inevitable

Maybe they should call it the GoT cast curse. Sophie Turner joins the X Men - FLOPS Maisie Williams joins New Mutants - FLOPS

There was nothing about it that felt like “new” mutants. Whatever the real ages were they felt like college kids working out prolonged adolescence. Honestly called for actual teens. I know how hokey that usually turns out, but otherwise it fails the comic

Nice review and explanation! Love this channel

I saw the movie in the theater and thought that it really had potential. Hearing of the sequels makes me even more convinced that if they made this whole movie just the first half of the movie, with the second half of them breaking out of the facility and facing off against Sinister it would have been stronger. Plus having other muttant teens around to be more clique-y and staff for the hospital would have made it better. All the mutant teens would fight together against Sinsiter and then our new mutants would go off to Xavier while the to be Hellions would be found by DaCosta in an end credit scene, setting up the Hellfire Club. Sad the movie didn't do better, but if anything, get Taylor-Joy back to play Magik. She's just perfect. Get rid of the accent though. The accents were so cartoonish in this film.

In other news, Last Night in Soho (the movie had Anya Taylor-Joy in it) was delayed to October this year, because this is the third time that movie had Anya Taylor-Joy in it got delayed All lot, The first one was Playmobil: The Movie... Seriously???

Question: "WTF Happened to this Movie?" Answer: "It happened. And it shouldn't"

I liked this one. this movie didnt do anybody no harm (DARK PHOENIX I see you). it has its flaws (the dialogs OMG) but its a fun ride. the girl from "Split" and her character made it work :)

After Fan4stic, Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix, and this I'm just so glad that Marvel's time at Fox is over. Yeah they gave us Logan and Deadpool but I feel like the X-Men can now accomplish so much more at Marvel.

That was so sad to seeing, because this film had a such potential

I was skeptical about it but it turned out to be a pretty enjoyable movie in my opinion.

At least JoBlo didn't blame the "whiny fanboys" this time like they did with Ghostbusters 2016.

The New Mutants sequel sounds so sweet!

11:50 I would argue that logic SHOULD be a primary concern in a superhero movie. And physics. Just because the characters have these physics-defying powers, doesn't mean that we can throw logic and physics out the window when it comes to the world they inhabit. This seems to be a point that a lot of superhero movies miss.

The script sucked really bad thats what happened to this movie.

Yes!! Been waiting for something like this for a while now. I even have the Blu Ray and begin to ask WTF Happened to this movie?

It was not a bad movie it was just from a different perspective. The MCU movies have spoiled us so bad that we expect every superhero movie to deliver in that manner but I enjoyed the movie the way I liked Brightburn, like it wasn't a awesome movie but I can appreciate someone trying to take the hero films in another way than the usual especially horror since that's one of my favorite movie genres.

You ever read an issue of New Mutants? It was never that great but you still loved the characters. In that sense this is perfect. Casting is spot on. I would love to see Dr Strange try to reign this Magik

good video, probably shouldn't use a major spoiler moment from a big TV show as a half second clip near the end though. I'm only finishing up Season 4 of GoT.

Can someone please tell me what the name of the music is at 6:59

I just randomly thought about this movie just now. Honestly from what I remember, it wasnt too bad. + Im in love with ATJ and she did good as Magik

Universal Studios is still sitting on the newest Bond movie. It was intended for an August 2020 release. Then it was pushed back to September. After that didn't go so well, Netflix made Universal two different and MASSIVE deals that Universal didn't accept. Netflix offered to buy the streaming rights for $650M, then reoffered the deal at a whopping $1.5B, but the studio really wanted and still wants a theatrical release.

Welcome to our new reality, x men, ruined, star wars, ruined, James bond, ruined, everything, ruined

I liked this movie. and genuinely felt sorry for it whilst it was trying to do something fresh and being jerked around.

6 years ago...I would’ve seen this day one, no question!! 2021, months after its release....haven’t even seen it yet

Anya Taylor-Joy was by far the best thing about this movie.

OH BOY, HERE WE GO.

Both creators of the comic, Bob McLeod and Chris Claremont, hated this movie (which considering Chris Claremont defended Dark Phoenix is saying something). The worst part for them is how the movie whitewashed Roberto’s character and how the movie stripped Dani of her personality. Also they apparently didn’t even spell Bob McLeod’s name right in the credits.

Something that never seems to get mentioned about this film is the fact that the cast of characters that appear in it is the actual original line up of the team. Don't get me wrong,I haven't even seen this film,but I thought it was worth noting.

Never heard of or knew of this movie until today in April 2022 lol

I remember that early horror-themed trailer, which looked really promising. See also the first trailer for Suicide Squad.

This was my first theatre experience after 9 yrs in prison. It was a gigantic disappointment. I shouldve just stayed until *no way home* 😅

I watched this movie the other week and enjoyed it a lot. What puzzles me is the need to sell it as a horror movie when it isn't. It would've been better if this was marketed as sci-fi like the rest of the X-Men franchise. All the characters were portrayed exceedingly well and the story-arc was flawless, but for some reason the studio marketed as horror, where the antagonist is often the main character. Psyche was indeed the main character, but she was far from being the antagonist of the movie.

Somehow everybody seems to forget about Legion when listing all the X-Men related media, which is curious, since it's arguably the best product, next to Deadpool maybe...

Man this movie was in development hell and then when it came out people we're like oh well. That was all about nothing.

Could you do a Highlander WTF happened to this movie?

I didn't even know it had ever gotten its theatrical release! Disney+ should just stream it and call it a part of the MCU multiverse.

hopefully an extended cut will release

WTF they made another XMEN movie that I NEVER HEARD of?? TFFFFFF....

Damn... I was hoping for some word on when it'd be dropping on hbomax

this movies a guilty pleasure for me

I saw this in theater and I was the only one in the theater, not including the 4 or 5 staff members. Not just for this movie but the entire theater. The theater was making more money selling delivered Popcorn over the phone. On to the movie. It was definitely unexpected. If you set aside the expected and see the movie for a stand alone, it would have broke even and made a little money on a 70 million budget if released under normal circumstances. When Anya is on my screen or a movie screen I go deer in the head lights. She has that power over me. The rest of the cast did their thing, played their role. I wouldn't call this a 'disaster' or any of the usual click bait bullshit. Victim of the pandemic for sure.

Although it's not great and it's not perfect, The New Mutants was still a good movie. I bought it on DVD 2 weeks ago.

I like the idea of New Mutants, the whole Mutants in a "Friday the 13th" type of setting. I actually didn't hate this movie either, but it felt incomplete.

As an XMen fan who has been collecting the comics since the 70's I knew The New Mutants well, but horror is not their main focus. Yes, Demon Bear had horror elements, but the majority of their stories were normal superhero fair. So when I saw that for their first outing they had picked pretty much the only horror story in The New Mutants catalogue of work I was very disappointed. All they wanted to do was twist the superhero image on screen to show they could use it for different styles, which is fair enough, but comedy (such as Deadpool) is much different than horror and is more accessible to the general audience than horror.

Tbf breakfast club xmen sounds inspired

I liked it. Not that there were many movies to watch this past summer anyways

i couldnt watch this movie further after i have seen that flying guy on a leash

We need more superhero horror movies

The Xmen characters don't seem to make as much money, but I hope they keep putting out new movies!

Wow! Never knew Fox execs reneg’ed from just elements of horror to wanting to go full on horror AFTER principal photography. Film making from the school of “Ready. Fire. Aim!” “So.... now you want me to make the movie I originally wanted with principal photography from the movie you told me to make plus the reshoot budget...?” What a freaking disaster! I’d love to see a Snyder cut of this movie...

I hear BOOM and all I can think about is Mortal Kombat

Anya Taylor-Joy playing a young Furiosa? Sign me up that sounds dope

I swear I’m the only person who genuinely likes this movie!

Boom there it is!🤣

Most people didn't want a horror mutants movie.

It could’ve been a lot better if they stuck to the horror elements instead of throwing in a action scene at the end that doesn’t fit the tone. It had some actual scary moments though and I appreciate them trying something new.

Nice

If they just would have stuck to the original source material 100%, it would have been a great movie. If they would have used the original introductory graphic novel as the basis for the film and made it a straight super-hero movie, it would have been awesome, but someone always has to screw with the source material and change things or cast the wrong person or re-write the characters or something. WHY can't we EVER have a super-hero movie that is TRUE to the original source material? WHAT is so HARD about doing that?

Bear mutant got some hammers on her!!! Lol

I enjoyed it(unlike Dark Phoenix), New Mutants kinda reminded me of nightmare on elm street 3:Dream Warriors a little bit. The original plan for the film probably would've been a better product. Flaws aside, a sequel could've fixed some of the problems the 1st installment had.

It was a decent movie and demon bear looked so bad ass!! Not every movie has to be an avengers over bloated world threat situation.

This movie had 5 delayed releases in just 2 years!

Wdym wtf happened to it, it came out only like 4 months ago

Can you do wtf happened to bumblebee plz.

Answer: It was released.

I know that I did watch this movie because of Anya Taylor-Joy performance in the Queens Gambit, but I totally forgot about the story since it was so anemic.

“M. Night Shyamalan”... I’ve never heard it pronounced like that lol. Also, I liked this movie more than Dark Phoenix, so that’s something.

0:21 More so than the Simpsons?

When’s the unpopular opinion video on James Cameron’s Avatar coming?

Wow, JoBlow went there.

the first xmen was the best and the writer is solid snake and he wrote the great watchmen

Bills the best. I met him a few times at comic book conventions. He's art is brilliant and inspiring on my own art. I love the X-Men but, this movie was pretty bad but watchable, if nothing's on.

They should've went full horror with this movie.

"The early glimpse presented the New Mutants as a dark tale of terror that just happened to feature characters from Marvel comics." This was what the movie should have been and why Logan was so successful; It was a western/drama that just happened to feature Marvel characters.

There was so much potential with this movie and the studio wasted it. They should have just made a Majik movie.

It always seems that the hype surrounding the X-Men franchise never lives up to the actual films, with of course a few exceptions. Hoping Disney can breath some life into the franchise like the Avengers but thinking they'll muck it up like the Star Wars sequels.

the movie studios are sooooooo wise.

What an unlucky production; The situation with IT, the two most recent X-Men films and the pandemic.

I am so glad we never got to see hillbilly Channing Tatum playing Gambit.

The studio didn't want it to scary then they wanted reshoots to make it more scary because of other move success Studios need to let there directors work. this could have been so good.

Well, the movies TNM and (Han) Solo didn't really work as movies, both were meant to be part 1 of 3 movies; so why not say these two movies are pilots and make both their own episodic series on D+?

A real shame, they had a good idea, this movie could have been good after some reshoots that added some horror elements, and, you know, basic editing, but the Fox buyout happened in the middle, and what we got was the first cut...which wasnt good.

The initial premise wasn't bad, but the writing was god-awful. If just one thing could be changed to make the movie better, it would be making the character of Magik like she is in the comics, a little girl who spent years in hell where she became a demon sorceress before coming back to earth as a teenager. There was no reason for them to change her origins, and all of the changes just made her more confusing. Does she have any magical powers at all? If so, where and how did she pick them up if she was never taken to Limbo? How did she create a demon dimension with her mind and why did a little girl decide that hell is her 'safe place' in the first place and not something like Disneyland? Is she a reality warping mutant? Is teleporting even her mutant power? If they had even attempted to write her correctly none of these questions would exist. Instead of being a cool and intriguing mystery like the true character, she's just a bully whose powers are a bunch of plot holes. What they did is like having Batman but his parents were never killed or Superman but Krypton never blew up. The visuals are the only thing they got right about her.

They should have done the Professor X cameo or at least gave Laura (X23) a proper cameo
