Until view Baby, One More Time: M3Gan 2.0

I must admit that in these days, June 2025, it is not the top to go to the cinema to see a carefree Cazzatella on a murderer doll and find it that begins treacherously with a military mission in Iran as part of the disputes on nuclear and the right to information. Nevertheless, Resolved by a fascinating robot.
We can safely catalog this scene under the item “apocalyptic bad luck” since the film was shot last year. Nevertheless, but beyond this it is an incipit that immediately makes it clear that the areas of the franchise have changed.
It is the type of move we love: cinema spectators want to be surprised. Meanwhile, they want to see fresh, courageous until view baby, one more and original things (it is not true, it is only what they continue to repeat their conscience and occasionally on social media), e M3GAN 2.0 It is here to satisfy them (or demonstrate. In addition, for the umpteenth time, that they were only lying to themselves because to admit that they always want the foreseeable sloping of the ego).
And therefore. Consequently, following the recent triumphant example of Jokerhere is a director who says “The first film has had a success higher than expectations? Therefore, Mo ‘then change immediately genre”.
Sail!

Eh? Therefore, View? Furthermore, So it is done. Consequently, So they do the real artists. Similarly, Enough! Similarly, That always do the same thing! However, Paganini does not repeat! In addition, Right?
That is, yes, in theory.
A lot of things are interesting in theory, but then for various reasons they do not work in practice.
It is an interesting idea to transform until view baby, one more Joker 2 In the opposite of what the Joker fans expect. In addition, as a “anarchist” gesture, “iconoclasta”, “” “punk” “(triple quotes for greater emphasis)? Nevertheless, My opinion is: yes. However, of course, if it had been done by someone who really believed it and not by a busty in search of apologies. Similarly, If nothing else, as an idea, is it (I go to take another handful of quotes) “brave”? Nevertheless, “Unpleasant”? Similarly, (I use all those who have remained) “” “” “artistic” “” “”? Similarly, I had nothing against the concept.
Also the idea for M3GAN 2.0 It is interesting: to get out of the horror style assassin doll. In addition, and rather become Super Vicky If he had the themes of Mission: Impossible ei battutists of Mean Girls.
But more than a visionary (I finished the quotes. I would have put them here too) change of direction, it seems until view baby, one more a mixture of two things a less noble hair: 1) exploit the iconographic success of M3gan and, probably following appropriate surveys of awareness e sentimentwiden it beyond the target of the first film in the hope of building a new small franchise with potential in further growth, like when Fast & Furious he decided to go beyond clandestine races and become the ultra-tamarra version of International intrigue; 2) Creative limits? Did horror make everyone feel caged?
There is nothing wrong, huh? From the trailer it seemed to me an interesting direction, if exaggerated the right.
But like all things: to work, it must be inspired.
Otherwise it is a moment that it becomes Highlander 2.

We shiver. Brrr.

M3GAN 2.0Unfortunately, it until view baby, one more touches the area Highlander 2.
The trailer painted a simple starting point: there is a bad robot in the city that uses the same artificial intelligence as M3gan. is – Attention – higher. The scientist who designed it must therefore exceed the trauma of the various murders of the first film. reconstruct it to defend himself, while the 13 -year -old daughter (acquired) sees more and more M3gan, despite everything, as an educational figure. It is a slight distortion of Terminator 2 (as well as a strange double bill with Diablothe film I told you about last week. which instead rethought Terminator 1).
Let’s start with the bad robot: Ivanna Sakhno is perfect. she has spectacular movements, and the idea that the definition of the acronym Amelia ignore the L (at least in the original language) is beautiful.
However, I am less convinced by the fact that it has an absolutely normal physiognomy. until view baby, one more M3gan also worked for its semi-pupazzose appearance. but Amelia is pure Blade Runner And we have already seen it billions of times.
As for the first chapter then. you insist on filling the cast with comedians to emphasize the cureed side: here we have Jemaine Clement who saves a small ungrateful role for the umpteenth time, and Aristotle Athari who would be the choice of the team – only one season to SNL three years ago in a almost invisible way except for the best sketch of the year.
The drama is that. in all this enthusiasm to expand the playing field to feel stylistically more free, a thousand genres are touched without mastering one and, at this turn, there is no flicker that is one to save the shack.
Worse: the film somehow manages in half to get bogged down in the rhythm. to fit a plot that seemed sincerely linear enough.
Worse until view baby, one more still: not only are there no new memorable flickers. but those of the original in the most sinister and less effective of ways are repeated, starting from M3gan that attacks to sing a hyper-emotional piece (this time Kate Bush) not to unpredictably overturned a situation of tension as in the first film, but at a fairly arbitrary quite arbitrary moment, as if it were an obligation.

“Talk to the hand”

But the most absurd thing is that the film seems to have no idea what to do with M3gan. Which is not a random character: he is the protagonist. The title is his name. The success of the brand is thanks to 60% of the first film and 40% of until view baby, one more its decontextualized ballets on Tiktok. O 20% and 80%. Nothing changes.
And to say that it is not that they were who knows what needs. The first film was not exactly a realistic. philological horror to Robert Eggers: it was a film that wagged in the cage of a series of clichés and exploited them in his favor by pushing strong on Rule of Cool, self -irony, and at least two or three spectacular intuitions. For me they could say “it was regenerated as soon as the ambient temperature exceeded the 24 degrees”. I would have drunk it without being ahead.
The film. on the other hand, messes immediately, treating M3gan as a kind of lamp genius, omnipresent in spirit and voice practically everything is enough that he has electronic components. The idea would be to create suspense for its triumphant (?) Entry on the physical scene, if it were not later until view baby, one more left absent for a meaningless amount of time. When M3gan comes into play. the film seems to be unable to decide on who the protagonist should be: she? The Allison Williams scientist? Additionally, The nephew Violet Mcgraw? The other robot? Did they do it on purpose? It is a move to Joker 2in which we should reflect on the absence of M3gan as a criticism. of the ethical/moral aspect of cheering for her? No, but it made me laugh.

Boy, that escalated quickly

The real reason why M3GAN 2.0 does not reach (fortunately) the abysses of Highlander 2 It is that all in all he remains on a level of carefree sympathy. with different actors on until view baby, one more the ball (Brian Jordan Alvarez and Timm Sharp above all) who keep the film on acceptable levels for what they can.
It is a kind of continuous run -up that never finds a satisfactory outlet: the type of film that could find its reason to exist at any time with a gag. a well -placed idea, but never finds it, and the liking depends on which minute you get tired of waiting for something more substantial to make the M3gan wear the squirrel suit to make it fly towards the building of the bad (beautiful image anyway).
It is as if. instead that M3GAN 2we’ve been watching directly M3GAN 5 in which the ideas are over and threw everything into cow doing the first thing that comes to mind.

Hit me baby

And just when you would like to say “if nothing else is unpretentious”, here are that unfortunately also those also arrive: the sermon on using the Ai with cognition, in a film in which the AI ​​is humanized and treated in a spiritual/magical way as the 80s films on the computers that fell in love. The sudden. clumsy illusion of being able to say something significant about the appropriate use of technology in a film in which a character tells M3gan “They continually repeat me that you are nothing more than a pile of 0 and 1 but I have never believed it, for me you are much more”, and in which a computer guru declares to have added security measures that prevent the Ai from becoming autonomous and rebellious as if it were a kind of innovation until that until view baby, one more moment. unthinkable.
The first film was able to find a simple morality that did not contradict the development – we do not delegate to technology what humans should do. like to grow children – and badly did not do: here instead we wrap ourselves immediately trying awkward balances without meaning between a message and his opposite.
And then at that point we should decide: either one thing or another.
Or the magical bullshit to entertain, or the pretensions.
And if you ask me, since we are at the cinema, magical bullshit all life.

PS: When I learned that Aristotle Athari had been added to the cast. I hoped unnecessarily it was in this role:

PS 2.0: What happened? Have we exhausted the cultural references to be rediscovered? We have already scraped the bottom and we have to go further? Was there just until view baby, one more no one else to set up a small catchphrase to arouse nostalgic sympathy that Steven Seagal? They are perhaps one of the five people in the world capable of explaining the indisputable contribution of Steven Seagal to the cinema in detail. but today as today, in a list of people who deserve a second possibility in life, personally I think I would give precedence to Bill Cosby.

PS 3.0: I was convinced that people liked the news and instead apparently the box office is flopping !!! And oh well, we continue to watch the same four rotating films for another decade.
