M3GAN 2.0

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.

M3GAN 2.0 has the problem of trying to do way more than it has to. It thinks it needs to comment on so many different issues, and it tries to focus on too many characters and storylines. By the third act this movie has so many twists and turns that it just becomes convoluted and confusing. That's not to say there aren't some fun moments though. Once again the character of M3GAN is tons of fun to watch on screen and there's some decent action. What I liked so much about the first movie was the fact that the whole movie was about the dynamic between the aunt and the niece. This movie still somewhat has that dynamic but with all of the shenanigans, it loses focus of what made the original special. This is a movie that's so simple on paper and I probably would've liked it better if it didn't try and make the plot more complicated than it needed to be. I also wish they kept some of the horror elements. I still had a good time watching it for the most part but it's definitely a step down from the first one. 6/10.

She's back - smarter, sassier, and somehow even more unhinged than before.

M3GAN 2.0 is everything you want in a sequel like this. It's fun, it's chaotic, it's completely self-aware - and it knows exactly what kind of film it is. No pretence, no filler, just pure killer doll camp with a glossy finish and razor-sharp one-liners.

The plot? Honestly, barely matters. You're here to watch M3GAN wreak havoc in style - and she absolutely delivers. Think TikTok-era Terminator, but with better outfits and even more attitude. The dance moves are back (of course), but so is the biting satire, the tech paranoia, and the kind of crowd-pleasing gore that has you grinning one moment and gasping the next.

One unexpected standout? Ukrainian-American actress Ivanna Sakhno, who plays AMELIA, a military-grade android. She's stunning, has incredible screen presence, and honestly gives off major Elizabeth Olsen vibes. Like... twin-level resemblance. More of her in everything, please.

Is it high art? No. But it never pretends to be. It's campy, clever, and completely entertaining from start to finish. If you loved the first, you'll be living for this one. And if you didn't? Well... M3GAN doesn't care. She'll come for you anyway!!

Saw this today and I gotta admit its not that bad, this sequel is pretty funny ,entertaining, the story isn't bad but it's kinda predictable, the action was pretty good and even for a movie that was advertised for being an action movie it has its horror scenes, but this can be a slow burn sometimes but its just entertaining campy fun and thats kinda peak cinema. The acting is good, there's fun bloody scenes some people might not enjoy but I did, I gotta admit some scenes felt a bit rushed like towards the end but either way ts is still a fun time and its a watch in theaters ts is an 8 or 7/10.

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.
