“I’ve been keeping an eye on you…”
M3GAN 2.0 released in theaters on June 27th 2025. The sci-fi horror film stars Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Brian Jordan Alvarez, Jenna Davis, and Ivanna Sakhno. It runs for approximately two hours.
Two years after Gemma created M3gan, the government tracks her down after a military-grade weapon (based on her original design) named Amelia goes rogue. Gemma fears the safety of her and her niece, bringing M3gan back to give them a fair shot.
Here is the trailer:
M3GAN 2.0 attempts to bring back the campy fun vibe of the first film, but does it ever really find its way with the sequel? Let’s find out…
The Pros:
Characters return for the sequel.
I like that we continued the story of Gemma and Cady in the sequel. I was originally thinking that they would throw a completely new story our way, but it helped me invest a little bit more in what was happening by seeing some familiar faces. It was fun seeing Cole again too (although I think he needed some more screen time).
Unfortunately my pros stop there…
The Cons:
Sloppy, unconvincing plot.
I don’t even know where to begin. It honestly felt like this was some really bad fan fiction. The story was messy and all over the place. The humor didn’t land for me and everything just felt very unoriginal and silly. The dialogue was bad, the twist was whatever, and the fight scenes were just kind of meh.
I didn’t think we really needed a sequel, but I was hoping for it to deliver on some camp and it missed the mark completely here…
So am I in or out?
I’m out on this one…
M3GAN 2.0 failed to deliver, relying too much on gimmicks and cliches, which left me bored to tears.
I had managed my expectations on this one, but I was really hoping it would at least capture the vibe of the first movie.
Oh well…
