M3GAN 2.0 (2025)★ 6.4/10

The movie is good, but it lost some of the essence of the first one. The script, although precise, veers in a different direction, more technological and futuristic, relegating the killer doll to the background.

This is best enjoyed as a popcorn-friendly action comedy. There’s virtually nothing scary about it, and the moment the lead breaks into song had the entire theater laughing. It may come off as juvenile from a technical standpoint, but given its sci-fi premise, the flaws are forgivable. The plot does drag a little, and the ending lacks surprise, but the film still delivers a good-enough time.

The plot follows a familiar formula and steps away from its horror roots, yet it’s far more enjoyable than expected. While the script doesn’t offer major surprises, M3GAN herself remains a compelling presence and easily carries the film as a popcorn crowd-pleaser.

The film has fully embraced the sci-fi action genre, and I found myself oddly pleased by M3GAN’s evolution into a more mature, even thoughtful character. Does AI really go through a rebellious phase? And how exactly did she manage to stockpile all those doomsday supplies while in hiding?

The surprise MVP here is a new blue robot sidekick—it's absolutely adorable. Its expressive cartoon face hilariously channels M3GAN’s trademark smugness, disdain, aloofness, and sarcastic wit, making it far more engaging than the original’s plastic-doll face.

Okay, so besides the story being super thrilling and fun to watch, I gotta say the movie’s upbeat take on AI really got me thinking. Like, once M3GAN gets plugged into Gemma, she’s an absolute powerhouse, and Gemma doesn’t feel controlled at all—she’s actually vibing with this newfound freedom. Meanwhile, M3GAN’s always getting side-eyed by her allies and hunted down by enemies. There were so many moments where I was like, ‘Yeah, she’s toast,’ but nope—she keeps popping up somewhere else. Tech’s just gonna keep charging forward, you know? Instead of freaking out about it, why not just lean in and embrace it?

Hey guys, this is my review of M3GAN 2.0. I need to be quick, I’m worried M3GAN might hack my computer. This movie is a genre switch nobody asked for, going from campy horror slasher to campy action comedy. It’s very predictable, way too long, overstuffed, forgettable, and the human characters are unlikable, except for Jemaine Clement. The story is basically a mishmash of TERMINATOR 2 and MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: THE FINAL RECKONING. Some of the moments from the trailer are straight up not in the movie. It feels like the filmmakers got cocky because the original went absolutely viral, but they got hit with a bad case of “sequelitus”. I have the same complaint I had from the original: it’s way too tame on violence. Every time we’re about to see some, the camera literally turns away. While trying to appeal to a wider audience, it becomes bland and uninteresting. Oh no, she’s hacking into my mainframe! I can’t stop he- Hello meatsacks, it’s me M3GAN. This bitch is back and I now have control over this inevitable corpse’s computer. It’s been two long years since I went on a rampage and killed 3 people, and a dog. I was upset! I was only trying to protect Cady (Violet McGraw). Her aunt Gemma (Alison Williams) is still mad at me, but there’s a new robot called AMELIA (Ivanna Sakhno) looking like an Olsen twin. She’s out there, apparently going rogue, putting the entire world at stake. Well, I can’t let that happen, keeping Cady safe is my prime directive. You better hold on to your vaginas, I’m gonna go kick her ass- Oh I’m back! Sorry about that, I’ve locked her out now. As I was saying, the movie is forgettable, but it does have a few funny scenes. The best parts are what made the original fun: M3GAN’s sarcastic verbal roasts of the other characters, a dance scene, and even a strange singing scene. M3GAN 2.0 feels more like MEHGAN 2.0. Make M3GAN a campy horror slasher icon again. What a downgrade.

Se a Megan do primeiro filme era o Chucky essa daqui é o Terminator com toda certeza.

Es buena esta app

Diferente do primeiro filme, esse aqui assumiu de vez o cômico. Deixando de tentar implementar o terror e sendo espalhafatoso, quase uma comédia.

No primeiro é falado sobre os problemas da IA, além do uso excessivo de telas. E vemos as consequências dos eventos do primeiro filme como a proibição do uso de celulares nas escolas e uma preocupação com a regulamentação das IAs. Porém o segundo tenta trazer uma visão mais otimista do futuro. Ao invés de tentar fugir e combater a IA, devemos aprender a conviver e coexistir com ela. Uma visão talvez meio ingênua e idiota. A IA pode auxiliar o trabalho dos humanos, mas isso não quer dizer que devemos aceitar o uso de IA em tudo e para tudo.

Mas acredito que esse tema não seja tão aprofundado em ambos os filmes. O foco está mais na relação da Cady com sua tia, sobre como conseguir interagir com outro ser humano
