1) Disputes with fences fall into a grey area and it was something the neighbor easily could've taken care of as much Gemma could've. 2) the neighbor was apathetic to how volatile her dog was.
Just watched the movie yesterday (01-17-23), and I agree with you. I felt like Gemma should have been more specific in her wording to M3GAN. But like Korey said in the end she got the rude awakening that she needed.
Yep, Megan was completely innocent as Gemma's coworkers pointed out that she didn't put a protocol on Megan Gemma just let Megan have free reign & neglected her niece. I was sorry Mega had to be taken out she had fire, sass, attitude, smart her programmer was made worse when the dog attacked her. I really loved that whenever Gemma turned Megan off Megan would slowly turn her head & gave her a piercing look like "b!tch, oh no you didn't!"
I agree as well. Finally watched it yesterday (01-17-23), and I really enjoyed it. Kept my expectations low but was pleasantly surprised. Yes, it's predictable but still enjoyable ☺👍.
I agree. I thought it was a fun watch. Not anything too profound or especially memorable but I can see myself throwing this on again around Halloween time with some friends and having a good time.
Saw a screening last night and was surprised how much fun this movie was with a crowd. It was way better than I thought and this will be a movie with good word of mouth.
I’m 100% on Korey’s opinion, this movie had me rollin’. But I did realize afterwards that it showed almost everyone the trailers. Luckily I saw it with someone who didn’t see any so I got their reactions to everything. I loved this insane movie
I think there already was an AI that started getting really philosophical irl according to my brother. The scientists got so scared that they shut it down and now it’s in a museum on Japan.
I liked it, Felt like a feature length episode of Black Mirror. Especially with it's "Technology shouldn't replace human parenting/relationships" message.
The plot point of childhood drama and loss had more depth than I expected, and the social commentary on violence and human addiction to technology were excellent. By the way, the performances were golden. Violet McGraw killed it, Ronny Chieng did a great job, and Allison Williams did a fantastic job. Williams knows how to pick some excellent scripts. I thought she might get typecasted after Get Out, but she's doing great work in every film she's in. If there's a sequel, it'll be a M3gan IoT horror show because one of the last scenes has that Alexa device turn on and begin staring at Gemma and Cady.
About that AI Chucky, it's not just about why someone would make and sell something like that, but who the hell would buy it. If I walked in a toy store and saw that, I'd never go back in there or within a mile of where the store is. Matter of fact, I'm leaving the whole entire city.
I saw this movie last night around 7:00 pm. I didn’t really know much about it all I knew was that it was about a toy robot doll and nothing really else. I made plans to go see and followed through. I honestly enjoyed this movie, I love horror films that develops characters as well as the stories and killers. Like make them evil for a reason and not just saying born evil or demonic at all. The only takeaway I had was the ending, it honestly felt short but besides that I enjoyed Megan for what it was. Should you go check it out, that’s up to you.
@@kendrickfisher9319 They were high in the sense of how crazy it was going to be. But low because throughout the entire marketing, I had a feeling they were using all the best clips in their trailers. (In my opinion)
@@Rubenarmijo2loved Terrifer 2. Hated Terrifier, way too much gore. Terrifier 2 was so over the top that it rolled into not uncomfortable. Loved Megan. Didn't watch any trailers. Kinda thought it looked stupid before it was free to watch. I think my enjoyment of movies might be based on no expectations and a lot of camp.
Anybody else notice she has the voice of Glados? (then again, the assistant A.I. for the Pacific Rim Mecha had the same voice as well, and they didn't go evil 😏)
Didn’t see this as being a horror-comedy. Saw it as being more of a tech-thriller, and a damn good one. Also, the purpose of that dance was for M3GAN to distract someone while she got her hands on a weapon. Once she had it in hand, the dancing stopped and that guy ran like hell. No, he didn’t get far. Good movie to start of 2023 with.
Lol funny that he mentioned “Wes Cravens Deadly Friend” the movie is infamous for being the reason Wes Craven didn’t direct “Nightmare on elm street 2”
@@thedeepfriar745 yea i know cause he didn’t write it like he did the first and third film…and they weren’t giving him enough time to do it so we got what we got for nightmare 2
I think if you watch the movie again, and you're looking for it, you will notice how the executive behaves, thereby making him enemy number one. Why is he number one? Because he's directly involved in trying to snuff out the M3GAN project, and wants Jemma doing furbies instead. M3GAN knows this, and that's specifically why she does the dance for him, because she's rubbing it in, that he will be an especially special kill for her. I don't think they threw that in just for gimmick at all, because it was given for that guy specifically. If she had done it only for the boy, you might be right, but they saved it for the exec.
I just came from watching M3GAN. It strikes a good balance of horror-comedy and social commentary about overreliance on technology as parental crutch and marketing strategies revolving around kids toys. And I believe they had to switch to PG-13 as if James Wan realized that kids can also learn something from this movie, while retaining the brutally goofy violence. And I also believe that they are saving their crazier stuff on a potential sequel which was hinted near the end. Whether it's going to be PG-13 or R, I am equally all for it either way. 😁👍👍
The point is Gemma chose to be a career woman over adapting to being a parent showing that the problem began with her. She wanted to pawn her niece off on new tech instead of trying to be a good woman who puts family first. Men who fail at valuing their family are also to be shamed since no one should be ignoring or neglecting family because they feel work is more important.
The film did not have genuine funny moments and a good second of gore but I do think it loses steam in the third act and has a rather telegraphed ending. Like... this film was way more interesting when the robot was just being creepy rather than murderous.
And that's exactly why I don't watch trailers anymore. They ALWAYS give away too much. I went in with little to no expectations and I LOVED this movie. It was hilarious. I don't know if the trailer had the jokes in it, but I was definitely laughing.
There were only about 2 handfuls (I have tiny hands) of people in the theater with us when we watched this film and we were laughing so hard! This was a good movie lol
This was a horror movie made for children. While it was a decent film, any and all potential was wasted. At the showing I went to, there was actually small children in the audience, and none of them cried or acted out. I see comments about how people were laughing, but no one was laughing during my screening. Maybe my theater didn't pump laughing gas into our showing or something.
Saw this movie a week afte, Korey is right in that M3GAN is not only what the Child's Play remake should have been but it took over as this generations Childs Play hype. It is campy, over the top, exaggerated characters but has some really smart moments like the reliance on tech and the scene where Gemma keeps turning off the doll but Cady wants her to keep her on. It fits being a genre crowd pleaser and doesn't go beyond that. Nice Evil Dead 2 reference in here.
Julian’s first matinee! Finally saw the movie today, I was so busy working all weekend and didn’t find flexible showtimes Director Gerard Johnstone introduces a lot of themes here of motherhood, parenthood, the addiction to modern technology, the psychological effects of children being more inclined to others, and the toys being surrogates to actual parents There are always forces out there that pull us apart, children shouldn't depend entirely on technology or else they lose their human connection, is it a guardians job to tell a child what to do?, you don't just throw something away you fix it, we don't run away from trauma, if human beings kill every day to satisfy their own agendas how is an android an exception to serve its primary function? The suspense is chilling, the doll gives the right amount of the chill factor with her deadpan eyes and ability to look and sound real, the movie has sharp cinematography, and not afraid to laugh at itself on occasion Megan is an amazing effect given she's brought to life by state of the art animatronics and motion capture technology Gemma and Cady are really good together although it does get uncomfortable when Cady develops an attachment more to Megan than her aunt herself Megan ends up being more the parent than anything and Gemma sees this as an obstruction of her niece developing on her own more of a distraction not a solution Think of this as 'Chucky' meets 'Terminator' with a familiar cautionary tale of the horrors of modern robotics We can take away from this that we can't input something so advanced and sophisticated without knowing the consequences later on Aside from an end stinger that could've been cut out, the film taking a while to get to the carnage, and not taking advantage of a gory-filled R rating Blumhouse Studios has made the first great flick of 2023 Lots of satire and commentary with it sharply translates to the screen modern anxieties over the evolution of A.I. and children’s screen time Quite the exploration of humanity too mixed with machinery
As always, your well-rounded review has me even more excited to catch this movie.🙌 To be fair though, since y'all also hyped up your review so much for this--will there be a spoiler review too?😂 love ya, DT!
Yes yes yes I remember that movie... Deadly Friends was a good movie.... it's crazy alot of people don't remember that movie...I glad y'all brought that up
everything is the same as the chucky reboot plot but the fresh coat of paint makes it better. they cut out the shuckaduck portion of her dance lol. i hope its in the rated r version.
Whether y’all planned it or not, there’s not really any spoilers or maybe this film is hard to spoil but there is no resolution in the review so I’m still feeling like it’s a must see to get my own opinion
I need to check out Megan because it reminds of an episode of this Nickelodeon animated series called The Mighty B. There’s an episode called Bess-E where the main character Bessie Higgenbottom has a robot version of herself and it thinks it’s the real Bessie and all hell breaks loose.
This was slightly better than expected because it's January but still tired and predictable beats, relies almost entirely on its memeness. Fall mostly flat for me especially in a post- Black Mirror world Rental
I like this movie I thought it was fun but I have to disagree with Korey about the trailer, they show every kill that happens in the movie. There is also an R-rated version that was cut down to make it PG-13 so that Blumhouse can make more money, it feels like the kills where really watered down as a result. I have to agree with Martin that it was very predictable but it was fun so if they make a sequel I hope they push the campy slasher angle of the movie.
i liked m3gan man! there is a very (surprisingly) touching scene between m3gan and the kid. don't want to spoil it here but i was surprised that we got that in addition to what we came to see.
just saw it tonight it wasn't that scary, but it was fun also, M3gan reminded me of the Mr. Friend episode of Rugrats 6:55 Gemma? like the villain from Ninja Scroll?
This was a good movie, I saw it in a theater with mixed ages and races and everybody interacted with laughing and comments. Especially when she says "you ungrateful little bitch" lmao!!!!
Best scene was when they killed her but her AI transferred to all the other dolls in the office. That scene was freaky as hell with all the dolls turning their heads haha
10:38 that's why you don't watch movie trailers, longer then 30 seconds. Hollywood sucks at making trailers when their longer then 30 seconds. Because they love to spoil the whole, or the best scenes of the movie. To draw your eyes addicted. But when it comes to either Thrillers, Horror,or scary. They love to show all the best scenes in their trailers. I saw a 30 seconds trailer of this movie, loved it. Then easily avoid watching any more spoilers of it. And today I just watched it and really enjoyed it.
M3GAN is,by pure accident, the blackest movie I've seen since wakanda forever. Hear me out,I watched it with a majority black audience and it made the movie feel better and the comedy funnier. Whenever you have a lily white movie that can get a black audience attention,you have an hit that will have legs. The only thing I believe they missed, was the assistant doing corporate espionage and what was his endgame. Other than that I truly enjoyed it and plan watching it a few more times
This film is more divisive than I thought anybody would care to be... You have the m3gan stans who just fell in love with the trailers and the "dance" scene from it that won't shut up about the movie and character... then there is the rest of humankind who see this movie and see a mostly female gen Z Chucky as a robotic doll and want it to fail because of what I said. The movie was absolutely meant to be a serious take on the Killer Doll trope but turned viral hit because of the dance scene, and I am convinced the movie was edited at the last minute to seem more comedic and self-aware but the original was not meant to be that way so it will feel uneven.
Solid 7/10, but definitely more of a suspense thriller than a horror movie, reminded me of I, Robot and Eagle Eye. Nothing groundbreaking, but a decent popcorn flick worth the ticket price.
@@ninjanibba4259 AI granted intelligence and gains autonomy, but due to poorly understood guidance goes rogue to serve its human wards with disastrous consequences...

1) Disputes with fences fall into a grey area and it was something the neighbor easily could've taken care of as much Gemma could've. 2) the neighbor was apathetic to how volatile her dog was.
Her programmer was very terrible at explaining the assignment. I can't fault M3gan on this one.
"Assignment misunderstood. Killed 4 people, a dog and exploded a building."
-M3GAN maybe

Exactly! She gave her a directive but did not put in any perimeters to keep her from stopping what's happened. Love M3gan. Team M3gan!
It was never Megan's fault & it only made her programming worse when the neighbors dog attacked her & shorted her out.

Finally saw the movie today, I was so busy working all weekend and didn’t find flexible showtimes
Director Gerard Johnstone introduces a lot of themes here of motherhood, parenthood, the addiction to modern technology, the psychological effects of children being more inclined to others, and the toys being surrogates to actual parents
There are always forces out there that pull us apart, children shouldn't depend entirely on technology or else they lose their human connection, is it a guardians job to tell a child what to do?, you don't just throw something away you fix it, we don't run away from trauma, if human beings kill every day to satisfy their own agendas how is an android an exception to serve its primary function?
The suspense is chilling, the doll gives the right amount of the chill factor with her deadpan eyes and ability to look and sound real, the movie has sharp cinematography, and not afraid to laugh at itself on occasion
Megan is an amazing effect given she's brought to life by state of the art animatronics and motion capture technology
Gemma and Cady are really good together although it does get uncomfortable when Cady develops an attachment more to Megan than her aunt herself
Megan ends up being more the parent than anything and Gemma sees this as an obstruction of her niece developing on her own more of a distraction not a solution
Think of this as 'Chucky' meets 'Terminator' with a familiar cautionary tale of the horrors of modern robotics
We can take away from this that we can't input something so advanced and sophisticated without knowing the consequences later on
Aside from an end stinger that could've been cut out, the film taking a while to get to the carnage, and not taking advantage of a gory-filled R rating Blumhouse Studios has made the first great flick of 2023
Lots of satire and commentary with it sharply translates to the screen modern anxieties over the evolution of A.I. and children’s screen time

Damn, I really checked this review 2 hear Martin's thoughts and Korey straight hijacked the whole episode 😤
i liked m3gan man! there is a very (surprisingly) touching scene between m3gan and the kid. don't want to spoil it here but i was surprised that we got that in addition to what we came to see.
Martin, telling his age with... "Dagwood"
just saw it tonight
it wasn't that scary, but it was fun
also, M3gan reminded me of the Mr. Friend episode of Rugrats
6:55 Gemma? like the villain from Ninja Scroll?
This was a good movie, I saw it in a theater with mixed ages and races and everybody interacted with laughing and comments. Especially when she says "you ungrateful little bitch" lmao!!!!
Best scene was when they killed her but her AI transferred to all the other dolls in the office. That scene was freaky as hell with all the dolls turning their heads haha
Spoilers
Never happened in the movie but would have been a great scene
@@bryanwynn1602 lol
@@bryanwynn1602 I was like "Did I miss something???" 😂😂😂
When she started singing…. Boi i died i my seat lol
Also, I like how none of this would have happened if her programmer wasn't so vague
M3GAN WOULD BE GREAT ON DANCING WITH THE STARS
saw it in theaters today, really enjoyed it.
Holy shit I thought I was the only one who remembered Deadly Friend! Blast from the past right there.
10:38 that's why you don't watch movie trailers, longer then 30 seconds. Hollywood sucks at making trailers when their longer then 30 seconds. Because they love to spoil the whole, or the best scenes of the movie. To draw your eyes addicted. But when it comes to either Thrillers, Horror,or scary. They love to show all the best scenes in their trailers.
I saw a 30 seconds trailer of this movie, loved it. Then easily avoid watching any more spoilers of it.
And today I just watched it and really enjoyed it.
A pretty good film to start off the year
the perfect film to kick off the new year
If Vicky the Robot from the old TV show Small Wonder had a crazy cousin.. 🤣
the titanium part was very funny🤣
People in the theater were cackling at that part. It's so jarring and uncomfortable. 😂
This movie takes me back to the child’s play remake in 2019.
I thought it was solid! Great start so far to '23
That’s Holler Chucky 🤣🤣
M3GAN is,by pure accident, the blackest movie I've seen since wakanda forever. Hear me out,I watched it with a majority black audience and it made the movie feel better and the comedy funnier. Whenever you have a lily white movie that can get a black audience attention,you have an hit that will have legs. The only thing I believe they missed, was the assistant doing corporate espionage and what was his endgame. Other than that I truly enjoyed it and plan watching it a few more times
A robot swearing to God...interesting.
Good catch. That is interesting indeed.
Heck yeah been waiting for this to drop!!!
I just wished that robot fight was longer.
I remember Deadly Friend! “Bee Bee!!!”
her and the kid was dancing earlier, that where the dance came from after the damage she took before malfunctioning
I don't think it's horror/comedy, it had funny moments. I had fun based on it's entertainment value.
This film is more divisive than I thought anybody would care to be...
You have the m3gan stans who just fell in love with the trailers and the "dance" scene from it that won't shut up about the movie and character...
then there is the rest of humankind who see this movie and see a mostly female gen Z Chucky as a robotic doll and want it to fail because of what I said.
The movie was absolutely meant to be a serious take on the Killer Doll trope but turned viral hit because of the dance scene, and I am convinced the movie was edited at the last minute to seem more comedic and self-aware but the original was not meant to be that way so it will feel uneven.
Why do they use any CG with megan? There's no more perfect of a place to use robotics than a movie about a robot.
Just got out of the theater it gets crazy a the end but I enjoyed it honestly
Solid 7/10, but definitely more of a suspense thriller than a horror movie, reminded me of I, Robot and Eagle Eye. Nothing groundbreaking, but a decent popcorn flick worth the ticket price.
This is not like I Robot, that movie made you think
@@ninjanibba4259 AI granted intelligence and gains autonomy, but due to poorly understood guidance goes rogue to serve its human wards with disastrous consequences...
Also, if you failed to think after this movie, that's on you. We live in a word where people who can't raise regular human intelligences into functional adults are teaching machine super intelligences in the hopes they could handle far more than any human.
@@DiogenesDworkinson premises of AI is always the same, execution is what makes them different, and humanity will always look for an easy out, way before AI was a thought, what else is new?
@@ninjanibba4259 look, if you are determined to stick your head up yourself to perform your own colonoscopy no matter what I say, there really isn't anything I can say to change your mind, is there? Remember to bring a lantern on your spelunking expedition, I stand by it being a similar movie to I, Robot and Eagle Eye in premise, plot and message.
@@DiogenesDworkinson dude, being snarky doesn't win you any points, I said they're all the same with different executions
That doesn't make them bad, just predictable
It’s surprisingly good!
Anyone know when the film will hit streaming? I'm jealous of all of you who got to see it in the theatre - I missed the theatrical release where I'm from (just 3 days😞)
Im so glad I went in blind. Hate when trailers are too revealing.
i like when she played eminems toy soldiers on the piano 🤣🤣🤣
Martika did toy soldier's .Eminem sampled it.✌️✌️
