Major miss by marketing, and I can't help but feel like the reason this wasn't more successful was because it was like they couldn't decide what kind of movie theme it was supposed to be. The story told itself, wrapped nicely by fine acting. Truly I think this is the unapologetic Jennifer Lawrence, and see she's really finding her acting chops. While she is center stage, she holds it well, and with depth. I think also that the story was deeper than people realized as it was a very detailed story, with lots of symbolism of generational gaps, and the very idea that we are coming from whole other worlds sometimes. Only to find somehow to not only grow from one another but to even bridge the gap. Although not without some pain.

The comedy elements miss in most parts and could've even done without the majority of them. One scene also deemed the iconic scene for this movie is when Lawrence is naked, congrats you missed the point of the scene and becomes the overemphasized sales pitch for the film. However, it is more than the nudity that makes a movie, if you're in it for that, get a porno. Lawrence did a fabulous job and I haven't been her biggest fan. I think many people miss the finer details of the film because it was lost in "Hollywood" saying it needed more "cowbell". It took away from an otherwise fantastic flick. Try rewatching this and look for more of the detail and less at the "flashing signs". You will see it's much deeper than it seems on the surface.

While the premise isn't all that new, this was a different take on the homicidal-robot. While there is a good creep factor to the doll and the way it looks and behaves, it was writing, and dialogue, that really take this down to a standard horror movie, nothing special.

The film really doesn't show any real inspiration other than the doll it's self, but there are some serious holes in this that were not able to hold up as they continue to be a massive flaw to the suspension of disbelief. Once broken, there isn't any going back. It's flaws mount through out and many unlikable characters almost make me root for M3GAN, almost. Which is not the purpose of a film like this, we're (the audience) supposed to root for the victims of horror movies, we should be eager for their survival from the horrors of the story. This doesn't do this very well at all, I was honestly rather disappointed through-out and even in the end. At least Chucky didn't take itself so seriously, by doing so they could far easier "bend the rules" when it comes to disbelief. Wait for streaming, maybe a pay-per-view.

This is yet another installment of the drivel from Hollywood/Marvel. While it had more Thor than Strange was part of his 2nd movie - this was not coherent, in fact rather it was whimsical, directionless, and complete waste. I can only give credit to Bale's performance as he seemed to be the only one who was trying. Everyone else was a hollow representation, a shell of the character. Too bad Bale was coming from another film to put the 100% to this - although it wouldn't have saved this trash.

Every attempt to be funny was a miss to me. Everything that was meant to have meaning was meaningless. Everything that was supposed to have a reason, either didn't or was explained in the dumbest way possible. This is just another installment of Propaganda Marvel films, and the complete ideocracy that has become Hollywood today. They do not care, everything is a tool to spread the messages that want. Nothing is sacred, nothing is nuanced, or complex. When it should be complex, it's pathetically simple. Like if you wanted to break into CIA HQ in Langly, it's not a problem because what you need will fall in your lap, and all the guards are completely inept. Oh and like an Epstein - the cameras will magically "not work". They think you are this dumb that you should be eating this puke pile up and be saying, "thank you, may I have another?" The film has so much to go over but not without spoilers so I simply say miss this one. Miss it entirely. Don't bother with it even in streaming, as it was a complete and utter waste of time. I'd rather have watched grass grow, at least I could contemplate the meaning of life and have got more out of it.
