I didn't think the movie was so horrible, like a dark phoenix, but the characters didn't have the essence of them. The Magik was a preppy, the mirage actress looked like she was dead .... Only Maise was saved there

I liked the cast in this movie. Wouldn’t mind them making the transition over to the MCU with Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, and hopefully his key supporting cast like Josh Brolin and Zazie Beetz.
The biggest problem with this movie is clearly Josh Boone. No one should ever give him money to write or direct a film ever again. He literally said his intention was making a cross between The Breakfast Club and a 'prestige horror movie'. He also said that he likes movies like the Shining but wants to make 'prestige horror movies/mini-series' that are adaptations of Stephen King novels - seemingly unaware that there are like 86 adaptations of Stephen King novels, using the word 'prestige' in this context is pretentious beyond belief, and that the film he mentioned as one of his favourites is prior to this is a Stephen King adaptation... Also, he originally wanted New Mutants to be a trilogy... Say what you want about Fox but they clearly saw what Boone was producing and pulled the plug before they flushed more money down the toilet by letting this incompetent idiot make a movie. He's doing The Stand now so I guess his life long dream of finally seeing an adaptation of a Stephen King work on the small screen is now a reality.
Doing The Stand and mucked it up to a degree that's utterly unreal.
Boone's career is starting to look like M. Night Shyamalan's. One good movie (Sixth Sense, Fault in Our Stars) followed by a downward spiral into mediocrity and crap.
