M3GAN

Finally saw this on Saturday night, and it lives up to the buzz its received. My cinema was literally only a few seats away from capacity, and like I've seen MCU movies there and they couldn't compete nn. The whole cinema ctfu at her wig after the dog attack.. she really is the new film icon I fear.
 
But that has Chucky.
An actual camp/queer icon, it’s true.
I've said it before, but it bares repeating... M3GAN is equal parts Chucky, Esther and Catherine Tramell. She is iconic on arrival and I'm not taking any questions.

Lush - sad and perplexed that you didn't feel much camp. Like did they screen a different edit for press? imo M3GAN is littered with camp starting from the first scene...
the ott parody furby ad is a complete scream and set the tone brilliantly I thought

That first scene is the sort of over the top absurdity I needed from this film. But sadly, beyond that and the singing, that fantastic tone never reappears for me. The rest of the film is just sort of… dull.

You know what M3GAN was missing? A moment where her messy hair was styled to the usual LEWK as she combs it after killing the neighbour + the dog, while seated at the vanity table. That would’ve been CAMP!

Give us the Snyder/Kubrick cut!

I saw this last Friday and it was cute. Malignant was gorgeous and cute next to gorgeous...

The first half was a bit tew slow. The worldbuilding was nice but i felt like nothing kinda happened. And while the second half was campy and fun in the end, i wanted more action and gore and suspense. M3gan turned evil and sassed Gemma and got killed immediately. It was very.. alright.
 
Yeah the balance felt off a little to me as well. Hopefully 2.0 is more of a bloodbath and they don't feel the need to world build quite so much. Gonna need a double figure death count next time.
