Viewing Notes
Maybe bc I haven’t seen the original movie or read the book or had very low expectations based on the negative WOM, I kinda dug this. It’s nothing great or new but for another X-Men side story a la New Mutants, it’s fine.
Had zero desire to see this, too, but since I was already going to a later screening for an anime flick I decided to maximize my trip and do a double feature. Did not realize this was a Zac Efron joint or that it was about superpowers so it worked for me. Plus that John Carpenter score is fire. Pun intended.
