M3GAN 2.0

First of all, I have to admit I'm a fan of the 1st movie and when they first announced that they were making a sequel, I was super excited about it. So, when I first watched the official teaser of the movie I liked it, even though I had mixed feelings about it. Eventually, it was a nice sequel, but I'm not sure if enjoyed it the same as I did with the original movie. The movie synopsis was very interesting, mysterious and kinda different than the previous movie. Unfortunately, the storyline wasn't as well-written as the first movie and it was different than the previous one. The main characters were still kinda interesting, well-developed and likeable. The casting choices were nice and their performances were descent. Sadly, this movie wasn't as scary as the previous movie and the tone of this movie was comedic. Regarding the killcount of the movie, it wasn't bloody, at all and only some kills were kinda nice. In my opinion, the first movie's killcount was way better and the death scenes were far more brutal. At least, it was a very intense movie, action-filled and the fight scenes were great. The opening scene was predictable, fast-paced and very promising. The ending was kinda predictable and it was just nice. In my opinion, the plot twist was kinda unpredictable, but it wasn't really shocking and I'm not really a fan of it. Moreover, the cinematography and the score of the movie were both very well done and the CGI effects were great. Overall, "M3GAN 2.0" was just a nice sequel, adventurous and kinda funny sometimes, but it wasn't scary, at all! So, I would probably recommend it to my friends, but I think the fans of the 1st movie might not like it.

Don't get me wrong. The first movie was great but it's not something I'd watch again. Number two I definitely would rewatch. Turning Megan into a protagonist was the best thing they could do. There's only so far she could have gone as a villian (like terminator and chucky) but making her an anti hero like Venom has made her a lot more likeable. Now she has a personality, she's funny and you root for her to win. I was super impressed with the second movie and I actually think the direction they took it in made it 10x better than the first one. Not many movies can pull off a sequel that ends up being just as good or better than the first installment. As long as they do it right, I'd watch another couple of movies with her in it! Very entertaining.

The movie is a fun, fast-paced sequel that leans into its creepy charm and techno-horror roots. The killer doll is back-smarter, sassier, and deadlier. While the story has a few weak spots and not all twists land, it's still an entertaining ride with slick visuals and some great dark humor. Not perfect, but definitely a good time.

Still, the pacing is brisk, the kills are inventive, and the tone strikes a fun balance between horror and absurdity. It may not be groundbreaking, but M3GAN 2.0 delivers exactly what fans came for.

A stylish, entertaining sequel that doesn't overthink itself. Just sit back and enjoy the chaos.

Three years ago, it became a huge hit both financially and in terms of audience reception. There was no chance that this reception wouldn't lead to a sequel, and now, under the direction of the same director, we're back with a much-needed diversion, but leaving aside the horror to immerse ourselves in a fully accomplished action-comedy thriller.

Gerard Johnstone returns to direct with his original cast: Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Brian Jordan Alvarez, and Jen Van Epps. They're joined by an impeccable Ivanna Sakhno as the film's villain. The film works well, with a B-movie-style opening, before moving into a film that lets loose and makes the most of its budget, transforming into a true action odyssey with strange but effective comedy gags.

With a script that capitalizes on the elements that worked in the first installment and introduces some new touches that are well-tuned at certain moments in the film. However, we also find less ingenuity when it comes to confronting its premise and its message to convey the advancement of AI. It's a good sequel, with truly accomplished moments that make this second installment a much more delirious pastime than its original. The desire to make it something different is evident, and it successfully achieves that, seeking to win over a wider audience this time around.

Megan's new adventure ends up being a good piece of entertainment that truly deserves its viewing. It delivers exactly what it's meant to, without taking its aspects too seriously, and plays with nuances to establish a path that ultimately cements this doll as a new pop culture figure. This mission takes shape thanks to the relatability Megan conveys in her on-screen moments.

A fun, fulfilling, and entertaining film. A sequel that largely deviates from the original's path to establish a new franchise that appreciates the stupidity of its mission and embraces it with contagious joy, once again winning viewers' affection.

Too many times in horror movie sequels, it attempts to just rehash the exact same movie as the first one. But M3GAN 2.0 takes a letter from two other great horror franchises. Like Terminator 1 to Terminator 2, and Alien to Aliens, M3GAN 2.0 deviates from the horror formula and injects action and comedy blended with horror elements. It's nothing new, however, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself laughing and psyched up for many moments of the film. The tone was much more about the action and fighting than jumpscares and thrills, which I found myself enjoying, otherwise it would've felt too much like a clone of the first one.

Also, the theming of this movie really compliments many real world discussions and dilemmas about AI and its involvement in our lives. So there were many moments where it hit a little closer to home, maybe too close at some points, actually putting a quiet sense of dread in my mind about a possible AI revolution.

The movie wasn't perfect, and there were a few moments that I cringed, however, I can absolutely say that enjoyed so many more moments that I left the movie feeling satisfied and thrilled with the assortment of fist fights, gun fights, thrashed metal and bloody messes.
