At first, it bonds with the bereaved child and helps her heal, but as their connection deepens, M3gan gets more protective, leading to the inevitable destruction. Since the plot is predictable, it's up to the production to make it fresh. There's not much new, but there are moments of self-aware humor that add some levity, mostly meta wise cracks provided by the doll (a hybrid of CGI, puppetry and a real girl). Otherwise, the action or direction aren't special and there's virtually no suspense.… Expand

M3GAN is a combination of Chucky and Artificial Intelligence with a little bit of Black Mirror and Robocop thrown into the mix. The result being a very entertaining movie that will no doubt spawn a whole new series of sequels.

Gemma (Allison Williams) is a robotics engineer at a toy company who have just created a revolutionary toy that will soon become the must-have for every child. This life-like doll is there to meet all your child’s needs, and with M3GAN around you’ll never need another toy ever again. Gemma has the opportunity to pilot M3GAN (Model 3 Generative Android) with her niece Cady (Violet McGraw). Cady is now M3GAN’s primary user and she is programmed to protect her at whatever cost.

Right away you can see where this movie is going. There’s nothing revolutionary about the story, it’s a combination of other ideas done before yet M3GAN ends up being a very entertaining and an unexpectedly hilarious cinema experience. It plays less into the horror and more into comedic moments but it works. Though it’s more than a generic horror/comedy with satirical elements running throughout, and raises issues such as our increasingly reliance on technology and the ethical dilemmas around creating a toy that could arguably be a substitution for parenting. M3GAN doesn’t take itself too seriously at all and plays into the comedy, delivering exactly what you expect.

I saw this in a busy cinema, with everyone thoroughly enjoying the movie. It’s short, predictable with no real surprises, though the M3GAN doll did a lot more singing than I was expecting which is as creepy as it sounds. M3GAN is not going to give you any nightmares, it’s the same level of scary that Chucky and Small Soldiers is. Clearly the violence was toned down to appeal to a wider audience. I wouldn’t quite call this a horror because it really isn’t scary enough, it ends up being more freaky than anything else but it’s highly entertaining in the moment and has enough laughs to keep the crowd happy.… Expand

I wish it was rated R (apparently they cut this to PG-13 for theaters) but it’s got enough enough campy horror and humor to be a fun ride at the theater.

A horror movie that was afraid to go the extra mile.
After reading its director's ''justification'' for the reshoots that softened the tone to make it PG-13, M3GAN is basically what I expected to be.

After reading its director's ''justification'' for the reshoots that softened the tone to make it PG-13, M3GAN is basically what I expected to be.
In fact it feels like a reconfiguration of what the Child's Play remake did just about 3 years ago.

I can't deny its functional nature in matters purely of entertainment, but the ensemble itself has absolutely nothing to highlight.… Expand

Not as bad as I expected. The movie was pretty cliche and it goes exactly the way you would expect, but with that said there is some enjoyment in it with a good cast and solid acting. Not your usual January horror movie.

Sure it's funny, but it's very derivative. A little more gore would've been great. It's a decent reintroduction to the "evil doll" concept for the new generations, but a more darker tone would've suited it better.

Takes too long to M3GAN and doesn't M3GAN nearly hard enough. Going to start a list for horror movies where the dog/pet dies first.

Chucky meets Terminator with an tale about letting the internet raise your kids. Everything in the movie is "fine" just felt like it was neutered for mainstream sales and a PG-13 rating.

Everything in the movie is "fine" just felt like it was neutered for mainstream sales and a PG-13 rating. You won't walk away feeling like you wasted your money, but rather you will walk away and forget about the last 2 hours of your life. Which could be a fate worse than being bad.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie looked good, but as it progresses it doesn't fit the horror genre; no suspense or scary scenes, just a couple of scares. The movie looks more like a children's movie since without any given context, the doll begins to sing without any sense in several scenes, such as in the end when she is about to die, something that she does not in that orsince without any given context, the doll begins to sing without any sense in several scenes, such as in the end when she is about to die, something that she does not in that orsince without any given context, the doll begins to sing without any sense in several scenes, such as in the end when she is about to die, something that has nothing to do at the time. The only thing for which it would not be for a child is for the deaths and blood.
As the movie ends it seems that it is taken more as a kind of comedy, since without any kind of context the doll begins to dance and make strange movements, this too It happens when you throw the child on the road.The only good point for me is the beginning, that is, how Megan is introduced; and the performance of Allison Williams… Expand

This is a boring horror if you can even call it that, the acting is real bad, save your money and watch something else. This is a child play rip-off.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Megan foi de longe um dos filmes de terror mais horrendos que já assisti, as cenas são tão sem graça, e os sustos (que quase não acontecem) são tão previsíveis e nada amedrontadores, uma das piores cenas foi de longe a cena em que a M3gan mata a vizinha da prota com um LAVA JATO DE PRESSÃO ALTA, REPITO: UM LAVA JATO DE PRESSÃO ALTA, foi de longe a cena em que mais ri no filme, por ser tão sem sentido e sem gosto, enfim, M3gan é só mais um filme de boneco que mata, porém agora ele é robótico.… Expand

It feels like this movie was written and created solely to get viral clips going on social media.

It's a poor man's Chucky in every way possible.
