M3GAN - Angry Movie Review 

If they ever make a third film they will regret calling the first one "M3gan" so hard.

"I was expecting this movie to be very stupid, but it was only a little stupid" That quote should be on the poster

The kid's performance was a high point! She not only was convincing in her grief stages, when she got separated from her friend, I felt like I was watching a junky going through withdrawal, very impressive.

The last part where half of her was still trying to attack reminded me of the first Terminator from the factory scene near the end of the movie lol 🤖

When Joe says he wants some "Megan on Megan" action and then Alex gets that wide grin...

She didn’t create Megan from scratch after talking with her niece. They had Megan in the lab at work and something went wrong with it. After showing the niece the Bruce robot, she got the determination to make Megan work. Wasn’t from scratch at that moment at all.

It was so much funnier than I thought it would be. The whole theater burst out laughing when she started singing Titanium out of nowhere. Her sassy quips were funny too. I genuinely enjoyed it.

As good as these guys are at noticing tropes, it's weird that they missed that M3GAN was damaged during the dog attack and that's when she started acting crazy. It wasn't so much that she was designed to be dangerous, she was designed to be a toy but after she was damaged she started to run out of control. I thought it was an interesting idea because the Aunt character was so terrible at understanding other people that both her "daughters" ended up running out of control due to her own shortcomings. Also, the pressure washer wasn't filled with water, it was filled with POISON. They LITERALLY have an argument about it earlier in the movie. Like, c'mon guys.

The "Director's Cut" is WAY more gory from what I've heard

I loved it can’t wait for a director cut!!!

It was actually meant to be an R rated movie and they did tone it down due to how popular it seemed to be getting for the money. So, you hit the nail on the head with that…

This movie was like an episode of goosebumps for adults. I really enjoyed it.

We went to the movies expecting a scary movie and it definitely wasn’t but i loved this movie lol

You should check out Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, I believe it’s a movie that really shows good thought, setup, and development. It doesn’t even have to be a video about it, it is a movie that shouldn’t be slept on.

I think it's important to remember that the robot wasn't a homicidal maniac. Everything it did was according to it's increasingly warped sense of defense for its two users, one being more important to her than the other. She wasn't on a killing spree, she was constantly calculating what she could do to achieve her objectives. She was also trying to get away with it, so it doesn't make sense for her to be over the top. I also thought the acting was pretty great from the two main characters. They really sold themselves as someone completely ill equipped to take care of a child but trying and a grieving child that doesn't know how to deal with their emotions. The potential that this movie presented is actually a positive point for me. It was fun to think about all the possibilities and all the directions it could go even understanding that they don't make sense for this film.

this movie was hot garbage. characters are dumb and constantly contradict every precaution they take and every single thing they say. for example, they literally hammer home the idea that this is an experimental robot, unfinished, full of bugs, potentially dangerous, keep it under wraps, top secret! HUSH HUSH! and then the dumb protagonist immediately takes the robot back to her own house and lets the kid bring it to public school. 3/10 it insults your intelligence. if you want to see a good movie about a spooky AI, go watch Ex-Machina.

I also think it’s interesting that Jenna never really showed that much emotion about her sister dying. It’s like she so use to AI herself that she was literally becoming a rebot. Katie actually taught her what love is as well at the end.

It was the most fun I've had in a theater since Unbearable Weight. Had a blast.

I guarantee the sequels going to be exactly as you guys described it, that would be awesome, great review as usual, Happy New Year's !

One correction, they had been working on Megan for awhile. It malfunctioned in the beginning, remember? Her boss tells her to quit and work on the Furby doll instead. Then she gets the call about her niece. Megan did not take a 5 minute montage to build. They were nearly finished when the movie began.

I only saw the unrated version, and I really enjoyed the movie (but I like all AI stuff pretty much - this makes me want to rewatch Ex Machina now). It could have gotten more in depth with the AI learning and bonding, my main gripe was by the end, she had an 'evil' feel, which is a bit odd for an AI. I would have written this with the AI being more sympathetic, so even though she is killing, I wanted to feel more sympathy for her 'emergent AI'. This is like a humorous, simplified version of Ex Machina.

I really enjoyed this movie a lot it was very fun because of the campyness and the horror and comedy was so good and it worked for me. It lacks the R rating. M3GAN was a star in the movie she was acted by two actresses Amie did the acting and she was 12 years old and Jenna Davis did the voice.

As good as M3GAN was which I enjoy. I've heard Paramount Pictures are gonna do M3GAN/Chucky crossover in the future since they own Child's Play rights so yeah, I hope the crossover will be good

Honestly this movie kind of feels like a "what if" of HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey was put into the body of David from A.I. Artificial Intelligence. Kind of like Toy Soldiers, but one toy and way more dangerous.

Her going on a killing spree wouldn’t make much sense in my opinion since she only really justifies it if it affects the little girl but they kind of go against that when she kills the personal assistant and the other guy so I get where they’re coming from

I really enjoyed the movie. The PG-13 rating held it back so hard though. Understandably they wanted to fill seats reach a wider audience but come on. I can't wait for the Directors Cut, it's going to be so fire. M3GANs dance bit was about what I expected. I hope they'd show the full sequence, again maybe in the Directors Cut.

I had fun with it. It had heart, it wasn't just a killer doll movie with a generic hero surrounded by people just meant to be victims. The aunt had an arc. And the little girl just having lost her parents, of course she was going to be upset and stressed out. Honestly she could have been much, much worse. I didn't care for any of Megan's victims (except the dog) and was kind of glad most of them died. Who the hell expects a horror movie to focus on social media?

Went in with very low expectations. Came out absolutely LOVING IT! Edit: I have a feeling they are going to release an unrated directors cut. They should.

The way M3gan runs is how I have to run in my dreams when I get stuck running in place on two feet .. am I the only one?

it’s funny coz i watched this movie by myself coz i’m embarrassed to ask my friends to watch it. They really made me hyped up watching it coz they promote it to the next level. I enjoyed it a lot!!!!!!!

That’s a little girl acting with a mask on. Gonna be THE coolest kid in class, now. Lol It’s ok to watch dumb movies sometimes. For some reason Morbius reminds me of Spider-Man TAS, and I love it.

1:12 oj n alex synced head nod was great!

The greatest writer of all time and acclaimed movie director/producer Alex has now resorted to call movie makers cowards. Remember this man has forgotten more about movie making than any of us will ever know!!!

The most fun I had at the theater since Top Gun: Maverick. I loved M3GAN! I’ll definitely buy it on blu-ray

It’s gonna make more money as PG13! Smart move money wise! When I went to see it 3/4 of the audience was around 13.

I'm hoping for a Witcher Blood Origin angry rant, but I understand your time is stretched and the tragedy that recently happened. Great review!

Alex and Other Joe's head bobbing yes up and down at the same time was epic lmao when they agreed it was better than the recent Chuckie movie lol

I need that Puss in Boots: The Last Wish angry review!!

I saw it in a theater and me and most of the audience was laughing at how ridiculous it was

"None of us really liked the movie but we're giving it a 7/10 anyway."

That pressure washer you were speaking of from the old lady part, I believe that was chemicals. Not water. It goes back to when she first got the girl she was yelling at her neighbor to stop spraying chemicals on her property.

The most brutal part was when meagan slaughtered the bosses assistant after explaining that he was going to be framed. Didn’t have to do that poor guy like that 🙁

Based on their recollection of the film, I feel like I watched a different film than Joe and the crew. He said in the film they built M3gan super quickly with no establishment. But in the very first 15 min of the film they had M3gan built and it exploded. In this sequence they have conversations that imply testing and design. So M3gans final monologue does make sense. So my question is, did Joe watch a different movie than me? I watched the streamed version, so was the Theater version different? Was there a scene in the streaming version that was cut in theatrical release?

I disagree that the movie needed gratuitous violence and gore to succeed - it needed more mystery and intrigue. The heartfelt moments were there. They had a whole open world of AI to explore but then it devolved into a cookie cutter horror that we have all seen before. Just a huge disappointment. I dont think any amount of blood spatter or decapitated corpses could make to bad story line any better. The first half of the movie set the hook very well, but then lost it in the second half. Most people feel this disappointment - I hope they are telling this to the studio and the writers.

This movie was very good in my opinion and I will definitely see it again.

Saw the Bruce twist coming a mile away. As soon as they introduced it. Not sure how he was running through, with his “brain” in M3gan.

Hopefully they do a Puss In Boots 2 review

After all the bad things they said Joe goes and gives them a "6 out of 10" lol huh, is he rating off just "potential" or the actual movie?

The actress who played M3gan for the physical role was amazing, she did all the stunt work herself, I found the film as a whole a good fun time :D

"Standart issue is insuficient! Listen ladies and listen good: Find new gear, find out where the gorgonitescum is hiding and exterminate 'em! We'll defeat 'em! We are the comando elite, anything else is just a toy!"🤣 EDIT: Yes, M3gan would have improoved by a R-Rating, but I had my fun with it!

Is a review for The Witcher Blood Origin in the works? I'm surprised there hasn't been one yet.

It’s the 2019 Chucky lol

this movie was a joke, id give this movie a 3/10. Literally more of a comedy than a horror.

I've been looking forward to this movie and my kids are with their mom but I wanted to take my 15 year old daughter to see this because pg 13 horror is our thing

I actually really like the pg13 rating. Not every horror movie has to be tits or over the top gore.

M3GAN shocked me since I thought it would be a stupid horror movie, but I found out the people behind it are self-aware of what it is, making for some emotional and more so hilarious moments.

10/10 For a film rated for 12 year olds Who am I, What am I worth? Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going when I die?

No need for apologies man it's you're show take all the time you need we love you and hope you are doing well 💜

If you seen Child's play you have seen this movie, but the lack of kills was disappointing.

Dude I died laughing during the bully scene. Shit caught me off guard and I was maybe a little too baked for this 1 but that scene is fuckin hilarious and everytime Megan started singing I couldn't help but laugh. With that being said the pg13 rating def held this film back a little. But I might take my preteen kiddo to see this 1 she's getting into scary movies

I can't wait for the top 10 worst games of 2022 on AngryJoeShow. Saints Row 2022, and Madden 2023 will definitly get on this list.

Not really surprised that it turned out decent. James Wan knows how to make a film.

In the movie's defense I think the idea is M3gan is not entirely waterproof due to Dewey.

😑 seriously joe This movie dominate the box office And ill buy it on bluray and 4k

Saw the movie yesterday and It was thoroughly entertaining with a standard horror movie with a typical plot. I also do like the themes of parent loss, parents letting technology raising their children and learning how to parent Megan was basically Ultron with a blend of terminator. They should have been creative with the kills and had at least a few more at least 15 kills.

I don't understand how they miss the point of movies so often. It's like they come in expecting one thing but don't engage with what a movie offers. It's not really trying to be a horror movie but more of a comedy, and about how children can become addicted to technology. Whenever they call something stupid, it's usually intentional because it's intended to be funny. OJ actually hit the nail on the head calling her a crackhead for the doll, but somehow doesn't realize that's a theme the movie is going for, and something completely plausible considering she's grieving the loss of her parents. Furthermore, that's what the movie is really about: parenting, people who shouldn't be parents/guardians, and how it's concerning that some people think technology should do the parenting for them. And I'm not disagreeing about their ideas for leaning into technology and things like cyberstalking. Those would be good ideas for a sequel. The frustrating part of this review is that the movie is clearly trying to be about other things and they don't really notice. Too often on these reviews the crew reviews something based on what wanted instead of what they got It's by no means a great movie, but it certainly works and is definitely smart. I'm also pretty sure the filmmakers themselves wanted to cut the film down to PG-13 for theatrical considering it went viral for the teenage demographic before release. That only makes sense, and while I would prefer more blood, the themes are still good and it's still funny. Probably the best January movie in the long time, which isn't really saying much, but it's much more intelligent than I ever expected

You are never “late” in my books when it comes to movies. As I enjoy you reviewing/shitting on bad horror movies more than actually watching them. :)

8:43 these guys obviously don’t know how kids get. It’s entirely believable and real for kids to react like that when they get addicted to anything. It could be as simple as watching TV, playing video games, smart phones and tablets, etc. Take these away from them and they will explode with screams and crying.

❤️ you guys keep up the great work 🙌🏽

Sounds like the things you all are complaining about are the missing horror clichés, the lack of clichés is what I liked about the movie.

As someone who does actually program machine learning, they were actually quite true to the craft. The idea that you simply program in don't harm people, is not so simple. You define a loss function that determines how the model trains itself, and in some cases alters its own code. I think what was supposed to happen here is they coded not hurting humans in to its loss function, but it edited its own code to prioritise her owners well being over bit harming humans.

Are we really complaining that the dance sequence wasn't long enough? 🤣 Sometimes you guys just throw complaints at the wall to see what sticks. 🤷‍♂️

stories like M3gan NEED to be done as a series. it just has so many possibilities that can only be properly explored and thoroughly presented in a tv series format. i could actually picture it reaching several seasons if done right. in fact, can you imagine if they branched out to OTHER M3GAN UNITS, each with its own unique personality. they could actually make spin-offs for other M3gan units that become fan favorites.

1:13 somebody please turn OJ and Alex into GIF...

I freaking love this movie. It was scary but also funny as they were going for that obviously. Can't wait for the sequel as well I saw this 6 times

I think that they released this in theaters as pg-13 in order to have income from all kinds of ages and if the viewers liked the movie , they thought they could re-release it as rated-r. I so want to watch an r-rated version of this film.

A great review from all of you as always,keep up with the amazing content.

It's been a LONG time since I left a movie utterly enraged. Everything that I loved about Robocop, The Terminator and Child's Play was totally shat on by this movie. Blumhouse should be sued for plagiarizing their ideas and concepts from other, more superior films. I'm still pissed off about it 48 hours later.

Saw this movie and was highly entertained lol 😂

Love the reviews, guys! Usually Alex is more calm and thoughtful, I enjoy when he gets animated about the stupidity!

I love the movie as it is and found it very enjoyable. But the unrated cut I feel will be better in every way with uncensored kills and a longer runtime.

This movie had no right being as good as it is loved it 👌

I can't believe you skipped over the pen trick scenes. It works the first time but when she tries later, Megan slaps the shit out of her It's hilarious! 😂

It was a good film, I'd give it a solid 7. If it had gore and more action (but this is a intro film). Totally! Love to see robots fight it out! There are many ways you can go with this film!

What the heck is Joe talking about? She didn't just suddenly create Megan after that chat with Katie, Megan was introduced at the start of the film and they specifically mentioned they were working on her for a long time which also confuses me when Joe also says they never spent time together for Megan to call her a friend. Did, like, Joe even watch the first part of the film? Why say something so blatantly wrong, it discredits your opinions when you have made it obvious that you overlooked things.

Megan was better than Avatar!!

Megan felt like a huge let down. It had me hooked for the first half but then morphed into your typical brain dead horror movie that Megan ends up getting destroyed. The scripting fails when they allow the characters in the movie to learn Megan is the killer - it would have been so much better to have kept this hidden - just go in a different direction full of mystery and intrigue, you know the stuff franchises are built off of - well the writers blew it imo. They had something really great within their grasp and just blew it.

Me and my buddy went in with low expectations and walked out surprisingly satisfied! Actually looking forward to a sequel

Typical Joe, saying the dumbest things. Listen, the acting was solid, heck in the actress who played Catie was amazing. And not every horror movie needs to be evil dead violent. These types that you can take your family to are rare.

Surprisingly not bad. Was shocked when I watched it.

M3GAN=M3GANS 🤔 I rember something.....🤓 Alien=Aliens great sequell but than we need a Vasquez like charakter killing them all I think i would love that movie

Man they could of done a Chucky/Terminator Horror kinda movie that would've been sick

I liked it. Me and my husband laughed at a lot of it. Not because it was bad, just because when Megan would just stare someone down it was just fun. When she said Bitch I laughed because it was fun. Idk it was a fun movie and I think the story was better than expected

M3GAN is Beautiful, deadly, and kind hearted…. I’m absolutely in love with her 💜💕🥰😘😘😘😘10\10 movie masterpiece

Spoiler alert: Obviously the doll kills people, after they defeat the doll they live happily ever after. The trouble with this is that if you make a device that kills people, You will be criminally charged, they don't point this out in the film.

It reminds me of child's play 2019 mixed with the boy

This movie had the potential to be good. The doll looked great and the bond between the doll and the girl pulled you in. But the dialogue was garbage, the kill scenes were uninteresting, and the story went nowhere. This movie should have been much smarter than it was.

Where is our best/worst games of 2022 video!? ;)

I loved it y’all judged it to hard. It’s enough that a lot of people think it’s the 2023 chucky but after watching it, it definitely had its own vibe.

I actually didn’t like it that much. I just feel like it was a weird idea and pretty boring.
