The premise is definitely interesting. This new take on how hard and terrible it can be to come into mutant powers. You can almost understand the need for containment, for the protection of both the mutants and the rest of the people. Then, there is the also interesting premise that there is always someone ready to take advantage of a crisis.
This is a movie that could have stood on those two legs alone and be great. But they blew it. No character development, no cohesion, bad acting with a couple of exceptions. Bad script and bad direction.
Why a 7/10 then you ask ? Because I love the premise. I don't want to let it fade into oblivion. I believe that it can be picked up for a great series. Just the premise. Casting was all wrong except for Illyana and maybe Dr Reyes.
Let just the movie fade into deserved oblivion, but keep the premise. Its fresh and interesting.
