Legend
The actors were all well-cast. If I'd had to choose a single plot from New Mutants to use as a movie, I'd have chosen the Demon Bear too. The setting they chose was good. It had promise
The script and/or direction (and subsequent editing)... not up to the task.
That's fair, though I suspect the post-edit was a big part of that problem since they kept going over and over it. I still thought it was pretty watchable. Far more than I'd have thought from the advance buzz.
