I love that they drug DoFP through the mud!

Yikes! I wonder where all that hate for Josh Boone is coming from?

I would love to hear what he has to say about the delay.

I've been talking with him some

Boone

I haven't seen any of his other work, but based on his work on NM, I'd say yes. On a personal level he's a jackass. Only shows any respect to the people above him, treats everyone else like trash.

Script

The script wasn't completely awful at first. It got worse and worse the more he changed it.

Cast

All really good. Even Blu. Zaga and Anna were the standouts.

X-Men movie in name only?

Pretty much, the New Mutants were all toned down, darker versions of themselves, and while they did use their powers, it wasn't an X-Men movie, it was a random poorly thought out horror movie and they just happened to be in it.

Power Display

Well they definitely used their powers more than they did in the trailer, but it felt like at every turn they were looking for an excuse for them to not use their powers when it would make sense for them to do so.

Random tidbits

That hospital was quite creepy at times.
Colossus got a mention.
Cecelia Reyes was the villain at the start, but by the end the kids realized she was trying to protect them from themselves. Dani loses control of her powers and manifests the Demon Bear, whom was gets in their heads and they defeat it by realizing it cannot hurt them if they don't fear it. Really stupid crap.

yes i always thought dofp was trash and far overrated. glad to see I'm not the only one.

This still misses the point. If it was that cheap then Fox wouldn't be reshooting. No one is going to spend money to reshoot a movie that has a 30-50 million budget if their concern is cheapness.

The issue isn't that Fox is cheap. The issue is that it is apparently too dark which isn't a function of how expensive or cheap it is.

I wonder how dark it was, if it was IT dark, then it should have been fine unless IT was R Rated

I doubt you were the only one that felt that way, some that like superhero movies like Avengers with no substance always end up showing a great dislike when a movie of such deep substance like DOFP is thrown into the spot that make Avengers look as bad as it is. I have already read how civil rights in xmen should not be there in the first place because MCU is not that deep thinking and you wonder the reason some have said the genre is dying out because of movies like Avengers , when DOFP was playing out as a breath of new life.

deep substance? are we talking about dofp or did you get this mixed up with something else? whether you think avengers is great (which actually I didn't think so) or not is irrelevant. what is relevant is that the fox-men days are numbered so enjoy these subpar stories while you can as they will soon be a thing of a distant past.

They should just throw the whole movie away.

A 10-month delay is really poor form and reflects terribly on Fox, especially so close to the initial release date. My take is that the upcoming Disney buyout has given some executives and producers at Fox cold feet when it comes to their last Marvel movies: they know they're going to be highly scrutinized and put under a bigger spotlight than ever before internally at Disney, and some people might or might not be asked to make the jump to the House of Mouse or Marvel Studios specifically based on their latest work. We know that New Mutants is the most left-field of all the mutant movies on Fox' slate and it's suddenly become a lot riskier than it was before due to the above.

It is not really that risky if the budget is 30-50 million though. Big time movie execs don't get all worked up over low budget films.

Yeah IT was rated R.

I think this is probable especially since they pushed it out so far. after the merger Disney may see this as a wasted effort. especially if the producers behind this are reshooting because their first go at it was crap.

Random tidbits

Who is this person again?

Someone who worked on the movie?

I hate hearing such negative things when I was so beyond excited for this movie.

If they scrap it I will fucking burn down the offices. I don't give a shit if it's not the greatest movie ever; I just want to see these characters on screen. Something that I know will never happen again for at least 20 years, as Disney erases any character who wasn't in TAS. There's a finished product, fucking give us something.

If Dark Phoenix is scrapped you know Disney or someone will bring Scott and Jean back to film within the decade, possibly even with the Phoenix Saga again. Meanwhile the New Mutants have barely gotten even animated cameos in their 35+ years of existence. And now they were gonna be brought to life by perfect actors, while JLaw sleepwalks her way to a paycheck and other characters are gotten completely wrong.

Yeah doesn't make sense to want to see this movie scrapped.

Best case, it is really good and there are sequels.

Worst case, it sucks and gets rebooted.

I said the same thing about Gambit. I don't give a shit about whether it is good or not. Just want to see Tatum's version of the character because it can easily be rebooted if it sucks.
