The New Mutants

If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog @ https://www.msbreviews.com I still can't believe I'm about to write a review for The New Mutants... The last X-Men movie before they're introduced into the MCU became one of the most delayed films ever, but it finally got released this week. Shot in 2017 with an original release date of April 2018, Josh Boone had reshoots planned, which postponed the movie for the first time. Disney began negotiations to…

Just like 'Dark Phoenix', Fox's greatest loss is Disney's greatest gain: even as 'The New Mutants' opened, the discussion was already focused on how Disney's MCU is bound to resuscitate 'X-Men'.

Surprisingly great watch, will likely watch again, and do recommend. My expectations of this one were rock bottom: I honestly didn't think much of the trailer. I thought they were ruining "The New Warriors", my mistake, and I didn't realize they gender bent a character I was already familiar with. (Moonstar is basically another guy character from "The Initiative" in Marvel Comcs) What is really interesting, and NEVER ADDRESSED is what the facility is, who runs it, and…
