Horror Blumhouse and James Wan to bring us M3gan

The reviews are fun. Here's an excerpt from one:

"2023 might be brand new but it’s already birthed a legend. Bow down to your cyborg glamour queen y’all – all hail Miss M3GAN. Or else!!!"

It’s as if all reviewers are out to troll us. And I’m down for it.
 
So its good eh?

Fantastic, love this for her.

I love it when apparently silly movies end up being great.
 
Still 97% at 63 reviews. Probably going to be a good time.
 
95% on RT, 66 reviews in. So far so good. Looking forward to this one! The trailer might have been one of the best I've seen in years. Will be watching later on tonight.
 
Just came back from this. Can't decide yet but I'm waffling between 8/10 and 9/10 for this.

Hot dang this was a trip! It was wickedly compelling and entertaining in all the right ways. A solid, well-made, and very slick horror movie that finally delivered justice to the concept of a (self-learning AI-based) killer robot doll on the loose. Although I do have a few minor complaints, they don't detract from what's basically a "slasher" that's actually done really well with a twist on a concept.

My complaints: the PG-13 rating detracting from what could've provided more impact with an R rating, and that it was kinda two movies in one with a "psychological traumatic drama" combined with a horror-slasher. I definitely felt there was some room for the movie to have been much more of that psychological traumatic drama that it wanted to be at first, and to be honest I would've actually paid for a movie like that, with the movie's concept much more serious & mature in tone to make it even more horrific and traumatic - basically, something along the lines of a The Outer Limits kind of vibe.

That said, its execution with the horror-slasher that it veered into probably made it more friendly to the masses though, and I especially liked that it didn't pull many of its "horror" punches (even if the PG-13 rating kinda took some wind out of those sails), and the fact that it was extremely modern with its incorporation of the cloud and IoT - anyone who owns an Alexa or Siri device will likely relate to the movie a ton. :hehe:

I'll say that M3GAN is the standard by which I'm going to judge every other horror movie that comes out for the rest of 2023, at least until a better movie comes out.
 
gonna see this tonight or tomorrow depending on how I feel funny my 7 year old niece wants to see it her mom was like oh hell no lol.
 
This is an enjoyable movie, although its very light on the horror. I think going harder on the kills would have been much better, but nevertheless, it's as fun as any doll horror/slasher film you've ever seen.
