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.

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.

Coming off the success of the original, this sequel seemingly shaped the new tonal direction off of the responses to the cultural marketing of its predecessor. While the first M3GAN calls horror its home, it's hardly that scary and also lacking in body counts and often suspense. This movie doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't, and instead leans into the action and humor so easily available to such a campy, Y2K/WarGames/Terminator 2 style film. The fight sequences were gorgeous, there were more kills than the original, and I still found myself laughing harder than I have in a long while at a screening. The reprisal roles are as solid as ever, and each new cast member fills their roles perfectly without any character feeling redundant or unimportant. Ultimately and obviously subjectively, I can't offer up a 10/10 due to my disappointment at this not containing more horror elements. That being said, as a mostly horror fanatic, this was such a fun experience and still checked so many of my typical movie-going boxes.

Side note: I won't speak at all about any of the tech jargon and tropes because I truly Do Not Care about their place in this movie. I like to imagine most movies as universes outside of our own, and I'm perfectly content hearing pseudo-Trekian nonsense interspersed throughout dialogue because like... it's fun. It isn't overly cyberpunk or techno-fascist "in your face"ism, it's camp and fun. Well worth a watch of your own IMO.

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.
