Notes

My quick rating - 5,6/10. When expectations due to delays happen, you really want to knock it out of the park when the movie finally is released. That didn't happen. From what came out and what was reshot, I don't know, but this was supposedly the more frightening version. The less horror and more "hero" version of the movie was scrapped for this. I think they fell in between those two visions. I am not saying this was bad at all, just was not what I hoped for. The heroes won't become household names with kids collecting their figures which is part of what this comic was about. The lesser-known and misunderstood heroes. Anya Taylor-Joy plays Illyana Rasputin and is about the only one that stood out to me. In this story, the mutants are held in a compound for testing and understanding their abilities. Of course, that is just a cover for the Essex corporation to get their DNA and use this to create killers out of them and others. If not a comic book fan, you actually may like this even more since the characters themselves are developed well. I think there was more room for this trilogy to grow, and I believe you can kiss the trilogy idea goodbye, both at the same time. The action was decent when it happened and scares had a good shot if they didn't get limited. A lot of potential wasted IMO.
