‘M3GAN 2.0’ Review: The Killer Doll Is Back But In A Kickass Mission To Defeat An Even Greater AI Threat In Fun, Action-Packed Sequel
A review of 'M3GAN 2.0' which manages to bring the killer doll back but this time to battle an even more evil bot named Amelia who is up to no good.
That is what we get in this quickly assembled follow-up that retains the horror elements — and importantly the humor — of the first but really mixes it up with some kickass sci-fi action sequences that actually make for a lot of fun and a much bigger feel to the ambitions of original writer-director Gerard Johnson, who has cooked up this particular story with Akela Cooper and producer James Wan, whose Atomic Monster has teamed again with Blumhouse to deliver this edition of the now-franchise. With AI and its constant advancements a frightening eal-life prospect that can out-horror any horror film with its evil possibilities, the M3GAN franchise, as steroided-up as this sequel is, is fighting against time to remain science fiction instead of being a template for a future documentary. Title: M3GAN 2.0 Distributor: Universal Release date: June 27, 2025 Director-screenwriter: Gerard Johnson Cast: Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Ivanna Sakhno, Jemaine Clement, Amie Donald, Jenna Davis, Brian Jordan Alvarez, Jen Van Epps, Aristotle Athari, Timm Sharp Rating: PG-13 Running time: 2 hr
