We all want to do bigger and better things in the new year, right? Bring it on, 2023! Let’s start with the highly anticipated sci-fi, horror, thriller, M3GAN, which was released in theaters on January 6, 2023. I know you’ve seen the trailers and all the memes of the dancing, creepy robot doll. Now, the movie that inspired all of that virality is finally out. Let’s see if it lives up to the hype.

The basic plot of M3GAN begins when Cady (Violet McGraw) comes to live with her aunt, Gemma (Allison Williams). Cady is mourning the death of her parents, and Gemma is ill-equipped to handle her emotionally fragile niece. Gemma is an engineer and toy designer working on increasingly advanced toys. Gemma has been working on a prototype for M3GAN (Model 3 Generative Android), and she uses M3GAN’s artificial intelligence technology to pair her as a personal companion and protector to Cady. Of course, deadly consequences and creepy hijinks ensue.

M3GAN is very slow to get started. There is a lot of set up to get to the murderous doll on the loose, which is what we all came for. The movie takes its time to establish Gemma’s job, Gemma’s lack of personal life, Cady’s transition to living with Gemma, and Gemma’s difficulty fitting Cady into her life. It takes too long when all we really want in this demented doll to start creating mayhem. I didn’t time when that actually occurs, but I definitely was getting a bit restless. Honestly, we’ve seen this movie before so let’s just get to the action, okay?!?

Secondly, the best parts of M3GAN are already revealed in the trailer. They are still good in the context of the movie, but they lose some potency and surprise because we’ve already seen them. Nevertheless, the visual effects are fun and the performance of Amie Donald, who physically portrays M3GAN, is really good. She moves in a creepy way and the dancing is hilarious. There are also some one liners delivered by M3GAN that are both funny and ridiculous. I only wish the movie overall was funnier. It’s a silly concept and it doesn’t take itself too seriously, but it is all very predictable, but never is it scary.

Ultimately, M3GAN is a good time at the movies. If you’ve seen these movies where inanimate objects take on a demented life of their own, then you’ve seen this one before. However, there are interesting aspects like the visual effects, some lines and the performance of Amie McDonald – but it’s not scary, if that’s what you want. Since some of the best moments are spoiled by the trailers, I’d only suggest a matinee viewing to start off your weekend. Just a bow of popcorn is enough.… Expand

M3GAN is a slow burn psychological thriller that turns into a slasher.
The movie takes its time to build up to the introduction of M3GAN and even then, it takes some time before the actual horror begins. But that doesn't mean it's boring. ToM3GAN is a slow burn psychological thriller that turns into a slasher.
The movie takes its time to build up to the introduction of M3GAN and even then, it takes some time before the actual horror begins. But that doesn't mean it's boring. To really see the journey from beginning to end makes this so much more than just a horror movie while at the same time delivering on the slasher fun towards the end.
While I have seen some people, and articles, complain about the movie being PG-13 there is no time during the movie that I feel there was any need for more swears, blood or gore. In fact, it feels a little like it could have ruined the movie and missed an age group this movie was made for.
This isn't an R-movie cut down to PG-13, this movie was made from the ground up to be PG-13, and you can tell. But that doesn't mean the movie ever feels childish. This isn't a movie made for children as much as a movie made to be suitable for children. It's still a very mature story even if there is some dark humor and a couple of goofy characters.
Take a child who's interested in horror and go watch this, or go watch it yourself. I would also like to praise young Violet McGraw who did some really great emotional acting in what must have been a very tough role.… Expand

This is an absolute triumph. It does a great job of making fun of itself but with enough horror, and social commentary. "it's insane, right?!"

The tone is effortlessly combined with horror, comedy, and camp (for those of you who whine about it not being fully horror, that's the point). And M3gan herself completely steals the show, whether it's with her dancing and singing, or one-liners and snarky remarks. If you don't take the movie too seriously, you'll have a great time.… Expand

I went in expecting a mindless fun slasher horror. Instead, I got a character drama with horror elements and a dash of comedy, that brings up themes of dependence on technology (which I can relate to) and parenthood (which I can't).

Instead, I got a character drama with horror elements and a dash of comedy, that brings up themes of dependence on technology (which I can relate to) and parenthood (which I can't). The only downside is that the movie sticks to a lot of Hollywood cliches, both in terms of the depiction of engineers and in terms of horror tropes.

Still worth watching though. With a runtime of 102 minutes, it's refreshingly short compared to a lot of the epic-length 2.5+ hour movies we've been getting recently.… Expand

M3GAN is good, campy fun. It has a respectable message and communicates it through a fun cast, great effects, and entertaining horror sequences.

Vou deixar bem claro, se você sair de casa esperando um assustador terror clássico, vai se arrepender. Esse filme é totalmente direcionado pra geração z, é um TERRIR da melhor qualidade.
Não se enganem, apesar do baixíssimo gore, o filme até tem seus bons jumpscares, mas o que se destaca mesmo é a personagem da boneca e suas falas hilarias. É meme sobre meme. Enfim, teria sido um filme muito melhor se fosse entregue nas mãos do mestre Sam Raimi, mas nada disso é suficiente pra desvalorizar o filme. Vale pelas risadas e pela crítica à nossa dependência da tecnologia.… Expand
