Just a horrible production; totally lame.

The first 30 minutes or so moves along slow with a lot of slow-motion-feeling scenes and long, boring conversations which over-explain basic things. Then when the action starts, it is so lame. The CGI of the bear is some of the worst work I've seen in modern movies. So, the movie is about a stupid bear/monster thing... and that's it... The final product seems to be a low-budget, small scale production. Going to a theater to see this was a huge waste of time and money. We suffered through it though... I wanted to leave, which is something I've rarely done, but we invested so much in the tickets and the overpriced sodas and popcorn. :)

On the one hands it was better than Dark Phoenix. But this could have been good if they just leaned into the horror aspect a lot more a lot sooner.
You're absolutely right about the climax, I'm guessing that was a reshoot. Alice Braga should have been the main villain, not the stupid bear. And the central character is asleep throughout the big finale.

Low-budget indeed. Funny how they mention in credits how the movie supported 15k jobs. Maybe they count the people who work in theaters worldwide. As for the movie? Maybe 10 people + actors.

I just watched it, and I loved it, but then again I've been a New Mutants fan since the 80s. As for how I rate it against the other X-Men movies, this movie was a shit-ton better than X-Men Origins: Wolverine, The Wolverine (which I finally saw fully last week without falling asleep), X-Men: Last Stand, X-Men: Apocalypse, and X-Men Dark Pheonix, and slightly better than the first X-Men movie.
