The New Mutants: (MINOR SPOILERS) The daughter and I watched this last night and we both really enjoyed it. The movie is centered around young mutants brought to a hospital where they learn to control their powers. Things are not as they seem and conflict ensues. The catalyst is when Dani Moonstar arrives after her town and family are destroyed. She is surprised to wake up in this special hospital after the tragedy. Dani doesn't know she has powers. From there the story progresses and you meet the others at the hospital. The group is pretty diverse and throughout the movie you'll find out more about each. The movie is pretty straight forward but the acting and characters make the movie. The actors/actresses really stood out to me for some reason. Actress Blu Hunt plays Dani while Maisie Williams of Game of Thrones fame plays Rahne. The other young mutants are played by Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Heaton, and Henry Zaga while the doctor is played by Alice Braga. I recommend this movie. It isn't the typical super hero movie and the tone owes some nods to the X-Men franchise which The New Mutants comics were tie in to. It is just a good movie to watch. The movie doesn't directly name all the characters but they are Wolfsbane, Psyche (Mirage), Sunspot, Magik and Cannonball.
I'll watch it eventually. I'm always down for a Marvel movie.
ReplyDeleteI think it's worth it and not the standard "hero" movie.
