The story, by Boone and Knate Lee, was designed to be a potentially lucrative experiment. The term “X-Men” is muttered a couple of times, as if Wolverine and company were fogies on the classic movies channel. The original New Mutants comics debuted in 1983, the year Johnny Ramone howled for “Psycho Therapy,” and its punkish, expressionistic pages wafted spray paint.

Please consult the guidelines outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention before watching movies inside theaters.
