M3GAN (2022)

A brilliant toy company roboticist uses artificial intelligence to develop M3GAN, a life-like doll programmed to emotionally bond with her newly orphaned niece. But when the doll’s programming works too well, she becomes overprotective of her new friend with terrifying results.

This was immensely enjoyable for what it is. It nails the perfect mix between horror and comedy with an emphasis on comedy.

Hugely entertaining considering it’s a blatant modernization of Chucky- but far more enjoyable than many of those sequals.

One of the underrated aspects of the prototype is it is able to tell people’s emotions, and whether it is a threat to the person the robot is looking after. This is quite intelligent, and I would have liked to have seen that delved into more.

There was some interesting themes regarding protection of the orphan girl, how these prototypes can help with emotions, and what caused M3gan to go on a rampage- but that was quickly ignored for a massive fight set-piece and ending. My only main criticism along with the fact I didn’t find it remotely scary.

There was some memorable scenes- the dance of course…and chasing the boy on all fours.

I found myself rooting for Megan in most instances, if that was what they intended they succeeded!

Hugely enjoyable- and good fun for a date night or to watch with your friends.

It’s like they remade Steven Spielburg’s A. I. and took away all the heart and replaced it with systematic death sequences. You know what I’m talking about? We’ve seen the systematic one by one death scene films a million times already since the 70’s. Why do these films keep getting made? Megan is just another stock character. Like a new skin for your phone. Underneath the new flashy bling skin, it’s still an iPhone 4 and that’s what this movie is like, a first generation iphone. Outdated, useless and not fun.

Replace Jason vorhees from Friday the 13th with a “pretty” face, and that’s all this film is. It had so much potential, but lost all integrity out of the box.

Soon to have “megan part 2” and 3 and “part 4 Meagan REborn” and “part 5 Megan’s first mensuration”. Part 6 “Megan’s Baby”… part 7 “Megan’s Beginnings”, Part 8 “Megan Dies”… followed by Megan (reboot in 2030) with the same plot but megan is a brunet with laser beam eyes. Directed by Britney Spears in her directorial Debut.
