Film Review - M3GAN 2.0
June 26, 2025
In 2023, “M3GAN” took a release slot during the first weekend in January, and like so many other horror movies, it managed to do some business in the dead of winter. The feature turned into a hit, but perhaps more importantly to Blumhouse Productions, “M3GAN” managed to capture the attention of social media users who became captivated with the film’s weirdness and meme-able offerings. Of course there was going to be a sequel, and director Gerard Johnstone returns with “M3GAN 2.0,” taking over screenwriting duties from Akela Cooper. One could debate that everything about this story was successfully covered in the first picture, but that’s not stopping Johnstone, who does away with any type of suspense or eeriness in the effort, going full speed into campiness instead with a more action-oriented and slapstick-heavy continuation. The meme-ification is prepackaged this time around, and the entertainment value takes a serious hit. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
