M3Gan 2.0 Film SPOILER FREE Film Review

There are just some horror sequels that the second that they get announced you straight away get excited for them. With the film that i'm going to be reviewing for you all today being one such a film as I make it no secret that i'm a huge of M3Gan so much so that i'm already planning on getting this film on DVD just so that I can add it to my very small M3Gan film collection and i'm already really excited for next years spin off film SoulM8te and so then join me as I give you my spoiler free review of the film that sees M3Gan go from villain to hero with the film in question being called simply just "M3GAN 2.0" enjoy.

The plot of this film is two years after the events of the first film a new AI threat emerges after someone steals blueprints for the original M3Gan and now it's up to Gemma and an old foe to team up and stop this threat from taking over the world once and for all. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad as this films plot was just as campy as you'd expect from these films but in saying that tho this films plot wasn't as fun to watch as the plot of the first film was as the first first films plot took itself seriously enough that you could buy into M3Gan as a serious threat to these characters lifes and yet was still fun enough that you could enjoy it but here the plot doesn't take it self that seriously and so it does make it hard to buy into the fact that these characters are in some serious trouble with the film coming off as an action horror comedy then it is an action horror film and while yes the first film did have some jokes in it those jokes were usually servicing the plot of the film where as here it feels like that there stopping this films plot in order to tell a joke with the plot of this film not even being that well developed but to be fair to this film this films plot is still a pretty fun filled with it having all of things that the plot of the first film had only now it's slightly cranked up a little bit more plot with the plot of this films also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is one of this films producers Allison Williams as Gemma and Violet McGraw as Cady. Also starring in this film is Amie Donald as M3GAN , Jenna Davis as The Voice Of M3GAN , Brian Jordan Alvarez as Cole , Jen Van Epps as Tess , Ivanna Sakhno as AMELIA , Aristotle Athari as Christian Bradley , Timm Sharp as Tim Sattler , Jemaine Clement as Alton Appleton and Amy Usherwood as Lydia.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With all of the actors that you expect to give us a good performance giving us exactly that but that's also the films biggest flaw when it's comes to it's acting as we know what kind of performances that these actors are going to be giving us and there it's not all that surprising when they give us exactly that kind of performance and really nothing more then that and while the actors in this film quite clearly aren't phoning in their performance as there is actual effort from all of this films actors it does make the acting in this film feel somewhat predictable with the best actor in this film being both Amie Donald and Jenna Davis as they both really do own the role of M3GAN in both of these movies with Amie physically playing her and Jenna of course doing her voice with both them being merged together so perfectly that you'd swear that she was being played by one actor and while Ivanna Sakhno does indeed turn in a good performance as AMELIA it feels like that she's having trouble when she's acting against the returning stars from the first film with it being clear as day that this films writer and director Gerard Johnstone was quite clearly having trouble with trying to get a good performance out of all of his actors in this film this is despite him proving that he can do so in the previous film with the acting that's in this film not really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so bad as it gives none of this films actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does lower the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

For once it's actually quite hard to tell just who did the CGI for this film as there are no effects companies listed anywhere on the films IMDB page. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad as this films CGI is pretty decent looking in places with the film making some solid use of a fully CGI M3GAN and AMELIA in some shots with the CGI mainly being used to make them look a little bit more robotic and that's really it with the effects also being used to extend certain parts of certain sets which is a great way to use CGI as it proves that the makers of this film are only CGI to create things that you can't possibly create for real and because of that this films effects will take a little whole before they start of show there age as alot of what you see in this film was done for real and that will always look better then anything created inside of a computer and while yes granted some of the CGI set extensions do look obviously fake that was always going to be the case no matter what with alot of this film being done for real and only using CGI when they need to instead of using it whenever they want to which is something that sadly alot of films seem to do these days with the most recent example that comes mind being THAT Snow White remake from Disney where nearly everything was done in CGI where as here in this film because so little CGI is actually used it does make it hard to tell what was CGI and what was done for real as even the robots bodies do look like that they were done for real even tho they were most likely done inside of a computer.

While the whole idea of this film turning into a full blown action movie does oddly work for this franchise. As it could be argued that the finale to the previous film was very action heavy and less horror focused that film did at least give us a memorable villain in M3GAN where as here the closest thing that we have to a villain that's not a massive spoiler is AMELIA with her character basically just being a poor man's version of M3GAN which is something that does oddly enough make sense as the character was born from people using the blueprints for M3GAN but from a film point of view it doesn't make that much sense as all your doing is reminding your audience of much more better character as the only thing that AMELIA didn't take from M3GAN was her wicked sense of humor with her character feeling like a copy of the T-X robot from Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines as the character has next to nothing that's actually interesting about her character with it being like that she's just doing things for the sake of doing them and not because she herself has some grand plan and heck the real villain of the movie isn't even AMELIA it's another character all together with there motive being that they hate AI and all of it's uses and so want to destroy the world so that it can't be created with them even planning to use M3GAN and AMELIA as the fall guys by setting them up as the ones being responsible for all of the crimes in this film which is a decent enough plan and having them try to set up the AI as the falls guys is a good idea but at the same time it' one that's not dumb enough for this movie as this is the kind of movie where the more dumber the plan is the better that it would fit in with the overall tone of the movie.

Whilst the first film was more of a horror comedy that it was a straight up a horror film this film now adds action into the mix. With the films action not really being all that bad but it might be a case of the film trying to be two many things instead of just trying to be the two things that it was in the first film as the film can't have that many good action scenes in it as it has to fit in alot some kills and it can't have that many kills because of the fact that it has to fit alot of jokes where as if the film just focused of being two of those things then it would be able to do alot more and would come as being all the more better because of it and yet the action scenes that this film does have are some really fun action scenes with the makers of this film really taking advantage of the fact that there having two robots just go out at by having them do things that no human would be able to do which is something that does make this films action all the more fun to watch as by all rights this films action should have been all that good as the first film wasn't an action film and so it would seem out of place for this film to suddenly become an action film and yet it oddly works because of how insane that this films gets and while this film won't appease the same TikTok crowd that helped to make the first film such a good film in the first place that doesn't mean that the film doesn't have fun with it as the film does have some really fun action scenes with the best example of this being the films third act which is just pure fun to watch and is easily the best action scene in the whole entire film as we get to really see just what these two robots can do when there's nothing holding them back which is something that well always make for a really fun action scene.

While this film does have some funny moments in it with both Gemma and M3GAN both having some really good quips in this film. It's missing that social commentary that the first film has as the first film quite literally opened up with an advert about how you can replace a dead dog with toy that will make you happy and yet here there's none of that with the characters going from saying that AI is bad one minuet to praising the next which is a very topical thing to say but at the same time the film does noting with that as it doesn't show show the plus sides and the downsides of either argument it just takes them on at face value and while it could be argued that AMELIA and M3GAN do represent those sides of the argument which would be a fair thing to say the film still does nothing with that argument and it doesn't poke fun at things like the first film would have done which is odd as the trailers for this film made it look lie that the film was going to do exactly that with M3GAN even referring to herself as b*tch in several pieces of marketing and yet in the film she really doesn't do that at all which would have been great to show that AI can learn and grow instead of just be a piece of code designed to do whatever it is that we tell it to do and while the first film was also quite lite on social commentary as well it at least knew that it wasn't that good of a film and so embraced it's more campy nature by poking fun at things where as here this film feels like that it's taking itself a bit two seriously and feels like that the makers of this film thought that they were making a piece of serious art which in turn caused it to loose that extra special something that made the first film not only stand out but also be so good because of it.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fifty two minuets and forty one seconds. Which to be fair to this film is pretty much the exact grand total running time that the first film had also with this film even just about having the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time but this film really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as the plot of the film despite it being a very well done plot in it's own right is one thats not really all that well developed as the film doesn't really spend alot of time on focusing on it's plot and yet when it does that's when the plot of the film does get interesting but because of the fact that the film now has to fit in action scenes as well as both jokes and horror it means that the plot of the film can't be as well developed as it could have been and while the same thing was also true for the first film as well here tho the makers of this film had the chance to learn from the mistakes of that film and actively chose not do so with the film not even taking the time to fully develop it's characters as while the films returning characters do come off slightly better in this regard that's more due to the fact that they got there development in the previous film and therefor don't really need to be that well developed in this film with the characters that do suffer because of this being the films newer characters as there's nothing all that memorable about this new characters with the only two memorable character being Christian and AMELIA and that's it as the rest of them are just bland and boring characters but I really will admit that this film really did have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a horror film that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual horror that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With the film following the same path that it followed in the theatrical cut of the first film with the film not really showing us the kills instead cutting away just before the kill actually happens which is something that really does for this franchise as it's blatantly meant to be a horror film that the TikTok crowd can like and while that worked for the first film because of the fact that M3GAN had the dance scene here there's nothing that will grab onto and because of that it makes the fact that they cut away from alot of the kills feel pointless as the crowd that there trying appease again won't be watching and so who does that leave you with and that's the due hard horror fans who actually want to see the kills and while this film will most likely show off it's kills in it's home media release much like what the first film did but to be fair even with that mind the film does have some really good kills in it but sadly as nearly all of them feature the AMELIA character none of them can be discussed in this review as there spoilers that show off just how deadly she is as robot with her even being the one to get pretty much all of the films kills which is something that does work well within the confides of the film with all of the films kills looking really good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall if you have the choice between going to see this film and going to see F1 The Movie then go and see F1 The Movie as it's the much more better of the two films but this film is the much more fun and campy of the two films and while this film might not be really as good as the first film we won't have long to wait for the next installment as the spin off film SoulM8te is due out in January with this film being a fun filled film that's not as good as as what the first film was in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now the i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official M3GAN fandom wiki page , Tenor , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being the official M3GAN fandom wiki page simply because the official M3GAN fandom wiki page actually has images from this film really are up and on the official M3GAN fandom wiki page and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on the official M3GAN fandom wiki page were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

28 Years Later Film SPOILER FILLED Film Review

Sequels while they can be a good thing if there done right sadly alot of them are done wrong because of the fact that the makers of those films are rushed into making them. This is thankfully not the case with this film as the last film to come out from this franchise was 28 Weeks Later which was released back in 2007 and yet it's only now that we're finally getting a new film but on top of that is the fact that we're getting another sequel film released in January of next year as well and so then join me as I give my SPOILER FILLED review of the film that has some one from London doing a Gerodie accent with the film in question being called simply just "28 Years Later" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when a young boy and his mother go the mainland to find a doctor to help cure the mother the two of them discover horrors beyond there imagination. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I im all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad as it was a decent plot that gave us alot of what we'd come to expect from the zombie genre however that's also the problem as when the first film came out there weren't being many zombie films made and yet now there are dozens of them every year and so this is a plot that should have worked and would have worked five or ten years ago but due to how many zombie films there are now it's a plot that does for the most part feel tired and worn out and while the film's marketing did a very good job of hiding what the actual plot of the film is when it's plot did indeed really get going it not only wasn't hard to work out where it was going but what the vast majority of the next films plot might be as well but to give this film some credit it did do a good job with it's plot by making feel alot more thought out then what it actually was with there being alot of thought put into this films plot which is something that does make alot of sense as this film was written by Alex Garland who is known for writing some really good plots in all of his films with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Alfie Williams as Spike , Jodie Comer as Isla and Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Jamie. Also starring in this film is Ralph Fiennes as Dr. Ian Kelson , Edvin Ryding as Erik Sundqvist , Chi Lewis-Parry as Samson , Christopher Fulford as Sam , Amy Cameron as Rosey , Stella Gonet as Jenny , Erin Kellyman as Jimmy Ink , Emma Laird as Jimmima , Maura Bird as Jimmy Jones , Sam Locke as Jimmy Fox , Robert Rose as Jimmy Jimmy , Connor Neal as Jimmy Sh**e , Ghazi Al Ruffai as Jimmy Snake , Sandy Batchelor as Jimmy's Dad and Jack O'Connell as Sir Jimmy Crystal.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I im all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. Which is something that's not really all that surprising as alot of Danny Boyle films have some really good acting in them no matter what the genre of film is as he's just that good of a director who really does know not only how to cast his actors but also how to geta  good performance out of all of his actors as well with this of course being helped by the fact that alot of this films actors are a bunch of really good actors in their own right even if some of them like Jack O'Connell for example aren't that well known outside of the UK with even this films best actor not even being any of the films more well known actors as it's instead Alfie Williams as Spike who surely must have had a bad back by the end of this film because he and his performance just simply carried this movie so much so that should he choose to continue being an actor then he very well could make it as a big named star as he's just that good not only as an actor but in this film as well with him more then holding his own when it comes to acting opposite bigger named stars like Aaron Taylor-Johnson , Ralph Fiennes and Jodie Comer with this films acting really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so good that all this films actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

With the first film we very clearly got the idea that the main theme of the film was all about family and what it means to people to keep the family that they have together in a world that forces them to be divided. Well the theme of this film seems to be humanity and the lengths that people will go to to keep it as we see all throughout the film what humanity looks like in this new world where as in the old pre-virus world it would mean doing something nice for a stranger here it could mean going to extreme lengths to make sure that a loved one gets the help that they need or it could mean something more then that with those ideas and themes of humanity being shown all throughout the film and while they don't quite work as good as the theme of the original film as here it felt forced like the makers of this film were trying super hard to work in the humanity aspect that the first film became known and beloved for having but in the first film it felt alot more natural as Jim himself was just trying to see if his own family was OK before then going on this life changing adventure and being forced to find and form a new family with a bunch of total strangers where as here tho that theme of humanity just isn't something that works all that well as that's something that we've seen play out alot in zombie media over the years so much so that when we see it played out here it losses all of the impact that it could have had and while it's not a bad theme to tackle in a zombie movie it's also not one that's done half as good as it could have been given not only who is writing this film but also who is directing it as well as by all rights given just who is making this film and the fact that they have tackled very similar themes and ideas in other movies then it should been a homerun to include it here in this film but it just doesn't work out all that well in this film.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!

For those of you who are unaware just a few days ago it came out that there is a character in this film who dresses up like known pe*o and creep Jimmy Savile. If you don't know who that is go and look him up but let's just that while it does make sense why a character would be dressed like him since the characters of the mainland are forever trapped in the mid 2000's and it only came to light after his death in the 2010's just how much of a creep that he was it is still something that I can very easily offending both people in general and more importantly the families of those that he hurt an while it would make sense for characters that still think he's a nice guy to dress up like him knowing what we know now about him it does make it odd that the makers of this film would not only go out there way to have not just one but several characters dress up like him but even have a few of those characters also be called Jimmy which while it does help to make it crystal clear that the character of Sir Jimmy Crystal will be the main villain of the next film as even tho he only appears in one scene at the ed of the film there's just something about him that makes him creepy even tho he's acting all friendly to this little kid it still does make you wonder why the makers of this film who would know just how much of a creep that Jimmy Savile was would choose to make a character in this film look exactly like him even if the plan is to make him out to be a villain as all that will do is cause controversy something which is very slowly but surely happening right now and while it might amount to nothing those that do know just how much of an evil person that he was will be just as shocked that there's a character looking exactly like him in this film.

To give this film some credit it does spend alot of time making you think that the film and it's plot will be heading one way before ultimately going another way altogether. As for a good portion of the film we ae just with Spike and his dad Jamie as they venture across the mainland from there small island town with the film making us think that maybe Spike will be kidnapped by someone on the mainland and the dad will have to try ad get him back or something among those lines as the film does show us alot of scenes with them together just trying to kill mutations on the mainland but then they reveal that it's actually going another way by having Spike get into an argument with his dad back home before then secretly sneaking his mother to the mainland so that they can try and find a doctor for her illness which is later revealed to be terminal cancer which is such a great rug pull and is a great way to defy people's expectations as we're all thinking that the film is going to be about the father and son coming together in this harsh landscape but it actually turns out to be about the son learning to cope with the fact that his mother is dying and on top of that the film actually reveals that the mother knew that she was dying all along but chose not to tell Spike because she didn't want to worry him which is something that does track as we see very early on in the film that the two of them do share a bond with Spike even returning home from a party that was thrown for him just so that he can look after her which does make it all the more shocking and upsetting when we see her die as not only had we the audience seen what there bond is like but also because of the fact that the makers of this film chose to make both Isla and Spike some really likable characters in there own right.

What we know for sure is that this film was filmed back to back with the sequel film and while that would normally be a bad thing as it would mean that the first film is usually nothing more then a feature length trailer for the next film. Here it's more to show the fact that characters that played a big role in this film like Spike for example won't be playing that big of a role in the next film and characters who didn't play that big of a role in this film like Jamie might end up playing a bigger role in the next one as both of these films were apparently shot back to back and therefor it would be impossible for the actors to be in two places at once and just going by how good that this film was it does make you wonder how there going to top it in the next one because while there was some pressure for the makers of this film to top what they did in both 28 Days and 28 Weeks that was more due to the passage of time now tho they are not only telling the a continuation of the story from this film but there also making it a direct sequel to this film and making it somewhat of a legacy sequel by having Cillian Murphy apparently come back as Jim as well which does mean that the makers of that film will now be under alot of pressure to make a film that's not only a good film in it's own right but also one that's going to appease the people that have loved these films from day one and hopefully the makers of that film can learn from the mistakes of this film as instead of having a rather generic zombie plot maybe they could have something new and interesting much like how the first film had a new and interesting plot as well and who knows maybe they'll make the Dr. Ian Kelson more interesting as here he doesn't really get to do all that much.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fifty three minuets and forty two seconds. Which to be fair is close enough to what the first films running time was and so there is a precedent set for this films being as long as they are with it being helped by the fact that this film really does have the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time but at the same time tho this film really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely tho as it doesn't fully develop it's plot enough to the point where you feel anything for these characters and want to see them making it out of this film alive and the film really doesn't develop it's characters all that well either which granted was also true for the first film but that film had one advantage and that was the fact that we were seeing this new world and these characters through the eyes of Jim and so if he didn't find out all that much about these characters then neither did we sadly tho that's something that this film really doesn't have and therefor the makers of this film should have gone the extra mile to give us something to make us connect to these characters and heck even one of the more characters in Dr. Ian Kelson doesn't actually fully appear until well over an hour into the film with him only being seen from either neck down or from behind before then which does mean that as good as an actor that Ralph Fiennes he can't be as good as we all know to him to be because of the fact that he has so little screen time in this film to fully flesh out his character but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a horror film that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. While yes granted alot of this films kills are either just the zombies biting people are people just shooting zombies down with there guns that doesn't mean that aren't some diamonds in the rough as there are plenty of really gnarly kills to be found in this film be it Spike shooting and killing zombies with his arrows both near the start and near the end of the film or either Jimmy's gang coming in and killing off zombies in lots of crazy and insane ways with there scene being so awsome just seeing how they all take out what basically amounts to a very small army of zombies all by themselves but even those aren't that the best kills in the film as that honor goes to quite literally any time that we see an Alpha zombie kill someone as we see them just straight up rip off someone's head with the spine still attached and toss the head aside like it's basketball which is something that never gets old as it's just so fun and such a unique kill to have in a zombie film as typically zombies in zombie movies just bite people and if they want to be really gory they'll rip them in half and that's really it and so to see a zombie just rip off someone's head with the spine still attached to it is always going to be a really fun kill in a film that's filled to the brim with some really cool kills in it's own right in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall it's safe to say that 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple now has some really pretty big shoes to fill as this film was a really good film and while it might not please everyone that really likes the original two movies this one is more then good enough in it's right and really is sure to please the mainstream audience members in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does ern itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official 28 Days Later fandom wiki page , Tenor , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being the official 28 Days Later fandom wiki page simply because the official 28 Days Later fandom wiki page actually has images from this film really are up and on the official 28 Days Later fandom wiki page and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on the official 28 Days Later fandom wiki page were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

M3Gan Film Review

Both this week and next week are turning out to be a pretty good few weeks for horror fans as not only do we have 28 Years Later out but next week also sees the release of another highly anticipated sequel. That being M3gan 2.0 as such you all just knew that I had to produce a tie in review for that film and really there was no other film that was even in contention for this review even tho The Asylum have also released there knock off M3gan movie it only made sense that the tie in review be the first film and so then join me as I review the film that saw a robotic doll with a killer attitude be released with the film in question being called simply just "M3Gan" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when her parents and she is sent to live with aunt eight year old Cady finds comfort in one of the prototype robots that her aunt made to he sold as toy only for the doll to take things to far. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with this films plot being just as fun and as campy as it set up would suggest with the plot being kind of like a more modern update from the plot of Child's Play only the film knows full well what audience it's trying to reach and works the plot around that which is something that does make this films plot a really fun to watch as while yes it is something that was done better in the original Child's Play movie how it's done here makes it look like that it was done with such a nudge and wink to the audience that you can't help but be engrossed by it and while the films main target audience is quite easily the TikTok crowd the film does take it's plot seriously enough for it to be liked by some older people as well and is proof that you can have a plot that's fun and campy but when it needs to touch upon some serious issues and not have it feel out of place which it very easily could have done given the films target audience with the more serious elements of the films plot being handled really well with them being just as well done as the films more campy elements as well with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Allison Williams as Gemma , Violet McGraw as Cady and Ronny Chieng as David.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With all of this films actors turning in some really good performances which is something that was quite shocking as quite alot of this films actors are a bunch of unknown or at best very little known actors and therefor it would have been foolish of anyone to expect a good or even great performance from any of them and yet that's exactly what we got with all of this films actors turning in some really good performances with the fact that there not really that well known actually helping the film out as it means that us the audience can actually see the character alot more easier then what we would have been able to if they cast a more well known face in the film ad then all your doing is just seeing the actor and not that character with all this films characters being perfectly well cast in this film so much so that it's hard to picture anyone else playing these roles as there all just so good in this film in this film with the two best actors in this film being Amie Donald and Jenna Davis as even tho they both play M3GAN with Amie physically playing the character and Jenna doing her voice they both work well with there performances not only getting across the characters sass and attitude in the more campy and comedic scenes but when they need to they also make her really threatening and kind of creepy as well with the acting that's in this very film really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so good that all this films actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

This film does find a unique way to tell the story of a child learning to cope with the death of her parents and all of the change that does come with that. As it has M3GAN basically act as another parental figure for Cady while she's healing from loosing both of her parents and showing how a kid can and does get attached to things does feel true to life as kids will super easily get attached to anything especially is there's no parent there to regulate it or to keep on eye on it to make sure that the kid isn't becoming to possessive of whatever it is that there clinging on to then it can become a problem something that we do see in this film as M3GAN was only designed to help kids deal with grief and that's it but there's no time limit on when that stops as at somepoint someone like a parent or another family does have to step in and that's somethin that this film does show beautifully as we see cady basically asking Gemma to step up and be the mother and father figure that Cady needs now more then ever but because of the fact that Gemma is so focused on her work she just lets Cady play with this robot that she's building all the time and because of that when she does act out near the end of the film when Gemma tells her that M3GAN isn't real then Cady can't cope with that as to her it would be like loosing another loved one and no kid should ever have to experience something like that and to the films credit it does handle that in a more mature way as it doesn't quite demonize Gemma for her actions as she's just lost someone close to her as well but it doesn't quite make her out to be a good parental figure for Cady either with the film very much making it clear that Gemma is working all of this out as she goes along much like how Cady is as well. 

Gemma herself is basically a workaholic with her not really being able to give the Cady the time that she really needs. Which is something that does work both for and against the film it works for the film in the way that it does give her a character arc where he learns to be a good parental figure and not to be so hyperfused on work all of the time but at the same time tho it works against the film in the way that anybody with eyeballs can see that she's not fit to look after a kid and yet the social worker still lets Cady stay with her which doesn't make sense as they should always put the child's best interests first and yet time and time again from quite literally the first scene of the movie onwards we see that both she and Cady don't really get along and yet the social worker still things that staying with Gemma is what's best for Cady now granted this film isn't meant to be taken seriously but given that they do take alot of time to talk about death and how that can effect little kids then maybe the makers of this film should have included something to make it all the more reasonable that staying with Gemma is what's best for the kid a we get nothing for a large early portion of the film with the two of them very slowly but surely starting to form a bond through M3GAN and even then it's only because of the fact that the doll might be killing people and Gemma doesn't tell cady about it and while Gemma does have an interesting character arc her character just wasn't that interesting as the film doesn't really give her much in the way of a personality outside of the fact that she's a workaholic who likes to do things a certain way and that's really it and that's not enough to make her interesting as we don't get to see what her positive traits are only her negative ones and we don't get to find out she likes or dislikes thus making her more of a one dimensional character.

To give this film some credit it does know what kind of audience that it's trying to go after and isn't afraid of just going after that particular audience. With the film being made to appease alot of the TikTok generation as heck even M3GAN's dance went popular on the site with the film not really being afraid to keep them happy which in all fairness does add a breath of fresh air to the film as it would have been super easy for the makers of this film to make this film a very super serious film akin to the original Child's Play movie and play everything straight but because of the fact that the makers know what kind of audience that there going after they do take the time that they needed to to make the film a little bit more lighter in tone in places which granted could create some tonal whiplash especially when M3GAN does start of killing people in some really fun ways but it works because of the fact that the makers of this film took the time to set up those deaths in ways that do feel natural as well with the film having alot of really campy moments that only serve to highlight just how absurd the very idea is of having a robotic doll gain self awareness and start killing people as that idea on it's own is a very silly and campy idea and therefor playing it for laughs alot of the time only serves to make the film more fun to watch and while yes granted it would have worked just as well perhaps even better if the film did play take it self more seriously as that would mean that we wouldn't get to have much in the way of tonal whiplash like the fact that before M3GAN kills the oy that's been bullying Cady at this camp we get a more slightly comedic scene with Gemma and one of the parents and it's just something that does feel out of place given how the rest of sequence goes.

To say that this film has alot of darkly funny moments in it would be like saying the exact same thing about the original Robocop. As this is film that does have some darkly funny jokes in it with the film itself opening up on a joke about a kids dog dying only to then have it be replaced by a kids toy which just right away lets you know what kind of film that your going to be watching with the film being filled to the brim with moments like that all throughout and all of them work as this film is just painfully funny to watch at time so much so that you could class this film as a horror comedy and it would be completely justifiable in doing so with M3GAN herself getting alot of laughs as she just gets more and more frustrated with Cady both not washing her hands after she's been to the bathroom and oddly enough not even flushing the toilet either which was a really funny joke and is actually the best joke in the whole entire film as it just shows you alot of of the sass that M3GAN does have something which the marketing for the sequel has leaned into and while the joke could have ended with just Cady washing her hands as the toilet half of the joke is just a tad bit disgusting even for a horror film it is something that does work well enough in this film as kids around Cady's age do more then likely forget things like that and even Gemma's boss David does have some funny one liners like the fact that he orders his assistant to go and get him drink and the next time that we see the assistant he's there in the lift with that drink in hand which was a funny little touch and it is something that really does prove that the makers of this film knew exactly what kind of film that they were making and were just having fun with it and that is something that does shine through in the final film.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly none hour and forty one minuets ad fifty six seconds. Which to be fait t this film is a pretty solid running time for this film to have as this film does the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time but tho this film really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as not all of the films main characters are that well developed with really the only two getting alot of development being both Gemma and Cady and that's really it with none of this films side characters getting any sort of character development whatsoever as we the audience don't even get to find out all that much about this films other characters either with alot of them just being there so that M3GAN ha people to kill near the end of the film and that's really it which isn't enough to fully justify them being them in this film with even the plot of this film not really being that well developed either which isn't that big of an issue as this film was never meant to have a deep plot to it and therefor expecting it's plot to be well developed and thought out would only get in the way of just how fun that this films plot can be but at the same time tho it would have helped this film out quite alot if it's plot was more thought out like we could have seen how the death of Cady's father effected Gemma as she was his sister afterall but the film doesn't give us the chance to see that despite the fact that that's something that both Gemma and Cady could have bonded over outside of the fact that they both just fought and won against a killer robot doll but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a horror film that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual horror that's actually featured / presented to us un this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual horror that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With this film not really being all that focused on it's horror aspect this was being targeted to much more younger audience then what horror films are typically aiming for which does mean that we don't get all that much of the kills which would usually be a bad thing as you always to see the kills in a horror film but given the fact that this film is more of a comedy then it is a straight up horror film it does make sense that we don't get to see that much of the kills in this film at least not in the theatrical cut of the film where as in the Unseen Edition of the film you do get to see more of the films kills with the films kills looking really good even tho the only thing that we really only see is more gore and that's really it with the best kill in the film not being just one kill in particular as it's the whole dance and escape sequence that M3GAN does in the third act as that was just a fun sequence to see with everything coming together beautifully from the music to the acting and even the gore that we see when she does finally kill David and then blame it on Kurt before killing him of as well which was such a nice touch as it shows us just how smart that she is as well as how deadly that she is as well with the same thing also being true for alot of this films kills as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while M3GAN 2.0 will be taking a more action horror route with it's film it's not all that hard to see why this film took the world by storm as while yes it's not a perfect film by any stretch of the imagination it is still a fun filled film to watch and that's more then enough to make this film worth watching as sometimes just being a fun film really is more enough in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well the boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official M3GAN fandom wiki page , Tenor , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being the official M3GAN fandom wiki page simply because Google Images actually has images from this film really are up and on the official M3GAN fandom wiki page and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on the official M3GAN fandom wiki page were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

28 Days Later Film Review

Believe it or not in just a few days time the sequel to 28 Days Later finally comes out with even that films sequel due out in January of next year. As such I thought that it was only about right that I finally check off another film of my every growing and yet somehow never ending list of things to watch with this film being one of the very few films that i've only seen bits and pieces of but have never watched all the way through until today and so then join me as I review the film that proves that London would actually look a little bit more better after a Zombie outbreak with the film in question being called simply just "28 Days Later" enjoy.

The plot of this film is 28 days after a zombie outbreak occurs in London a bicycle courier who was in coma prior to the outbreak wakes up and now has to find away to survive in this new world. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with this films plot being oddly refreshing as not only do we get to see what it was that cases the outbreak in this film but we also get to see something that we really hadn't seen before and that's the fact that we are finding out more about this outbreak as Jim himself does which is such a great little idea as not only does it make Jim essentially the audience surrogate but it also means that the plot of the film can come off across as being new and fresh again even tho the very core idea of someone trying to survive a zombie outbreak is a tale as old as time it's self and to give this film some credit even tho it's central plot is a little bit on the weak side of things it is a plot that is a really well told with this films plot taking a unique approach to it's story by revealing in the smaller moments that we all take for granted as now even changing a wheel becomes somewhat of a plot point due to the fact that it occurs in the middle of a zombie outbreak and while this films plot could have been alot more better as it could be argued that we don't really need to see what it was that caused the outbreak in the first place as that then takes away time from developing the plot alot more then what the film already does in the first place with this film plot also bein really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Batman Begins star Cillian Murphy as Jim , James Bond star Naomie Harris as Selena , Harry Potter star Brendan Gleeson as Frank and Megan Burns as Hannah. Also starring in this film is Noah Huntley as Mark , Stuart McQuarrie as Sergeant Farrell , Ricci Harnett as Corporal Mitchell , Leo Bill as Private Jones , Luke Mably as Private Clifton , Junior Laniyan as Private Bell , Ray Panthaki as Private Bedford , Sanjay Rambaruth as Private Davis , Marvin Campbell as Private Mailer and Doctor Who star Christopher Eccleston as Major Henry West.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. Which is something that's both not all that surprising and yet at the same time very surprising it's not all that surprising in the way that alot of this films actors have turned in some really good performances in other films and are some really good actors and here it makes sense that they would turn in some good performances in this film but at the same time it's not all that surprising because of the fat that those same actors were unknown actors when this film was being released and therefor it would have been quite foolish of anyone to expect a good performance from them and yet that's exactly what we get in this film with the actors performance in this film being a testament as to how good of director that this films director Danny Boyle really is as he knows how to get a good performance out of his actors much like he knows how to pick his actors for his films as all pf this films actors are cast perfectly in this film so much so that it hard to picture quite literally anyone else playing these roles with the best actor in this film being quite hard to decide as it's a three way tie between Christopher Eccleston , Cillian Murphy and Naomie Harris as all three of them just bring something to there characters that makes there performances standout not that all of the other performances in this film are bad because there not it's just that there's happens to be the best of the bunch with the acting that's in this film really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so goo that all this films actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

What helps to set this film apart from other zombie films out there is the fact that revels in the smaller more human moments. Be it showing Selena comforting Jim when he finds out that his parents died while he was in the coma or Jim making a joke when the taxi breaks down in the tunnel the film is filled to brim with moments like that and what is does is it makes the characters feel not only more human but also alot more real as well as well and as a result of that is the fact that when they do get attacked by zombies you do feel for them as the film has taken the time to make them feel more real with this being the very things that alot of horror films and heck even this films own sequel failed to do as alot of them just give us the bare bones of a character and that's really it and yet all of the characters do feel fully formed and with them having those more quieter moments it does allow for the characters to become more human and show us there human side and yet when the film does decide to drop that aspect of itself when the group reach the Army Base in Manchester it oddly feels right as the soldiers aren't meant to be human anymore as they've become so used to fighting these zombies and even keeping one of them tied up basically as a pet it's something that makes them feel less then human which is something that does contrast nicely with characters like Jim , Selena and Hannah all of whom feel more human because f the fact that they do care for one another something which quite clearly isn't true for the soldiers at the Army Base anymore as those characters whilst they are villains they feel more like cartoon villains because of the fact that they've had there humanity stripped away from them much like the zombies of this film have had there humanity stripped away from them.

As someone who lives in the UK it does feel really weird seeing places like London and Manchester be empty. However tho at the same time having a zombie film set over here in the UK does also help to make the film standout there are very little zombie films let alone mainstream zombie films that are set here in the UK which doesn't make as as this film proves you can get not only some really nice looking shots in this film but more importantly then that you can get some really good scares out of many of our locations all of which help to sell the UK as a good place to set and film your horror film in and top of that is the fact that it would help to set any horror film apart from one another as plenty of them have been set in America even those that aren't made in America still have them set there nine times out ten with this film even making great use of it's main London location by not only giving us some of the more touristy spots like Big Ben and Buckingham Palace for example but also giving us some the backstreets of London and just giving us a location that's meant to be in Manchester which is a city that big hollywood films refuse to name drop in any film set in England for literally no good reason and yet here because of the fact that the director is from near Manchester it gets alot of attention it just would have been nice if they in stead of filming in Milton Keynes if the makers of this film actually filmed the scenes that were set in Manchester actually in Manchester itself as that would have added an extra touch of realism to the film much like how filming the London scenes in London helped to ground the film in some sort of realism as well.

What this film does shockingly well is show us the breakdown of society as we know it to be by not only telling us that at the very least the UK government has been wiped out but so has all forms of communication. Which was a nice touch as it now means that the heroes have to figure out how to kills these zombies as there fighting them and not have it be spoon fed to them on the news which is more realistic and even the fact that the group encounter a group of corrupt soldiers also helps to sell that point as in the real world we would think that the soldiers are here to protect us as that's what they say that there going to do but now that that code of honor if you will has been lifted we now get to see them for as they really are and while that does also make them just as human as the rest of this films characters it also makes them a more constant threat then the zombies are as the group can and frequently do outrun these more faster paced zombies and yet you can't outrun a bullet let alone one that's been fired by a trained soldier which is something that does make them as more of a threat then what the zombies are with it also proving that not only has there been huge breakdown in society something that we see all throughout the film with characters more then willing to stab the other in the back if it means that they would get either some food and water or a place to stay or if the characters have just flat out gone insane not due to the virus but due to the fact that they've been on their own for a long time which would be something that would drive anyone insane and the fact that this film is willing to skip over showing the falls of society and just straight up tell us that it happened and then show us the aftermath could be argued makes the breakdown of society all that more scarier as now we the audience are now forced to picture just how it happened exactly.

While this film does have alot of things going for it it does also have quite a few things that are working against it as well. Like the fact that the characters of Hannah adds nothing to the film after her dad gets infected with her character literally being there just so that the film can have another female character in it's main cast and that's really it as you very easily could have had that character be written out of the film and nothing in regards to the main plot of the film would change as that's how little that her character adds anything the main plot of this film with other thing that works against this film being the fact that the reveal of Major Henry West being a bad guy really does come out of nowhere as while he is a solid villain in his right the build up to him being revealed as evil really isn't there and as such it does come out of nowhere when it's revealed that he's this evil character and while that wouldn't be  bad thing if he was more of side villain that's actively working work with the main villain he's not tho he's meant to be the films main human villain and yet he's treated more as an afterthought in the film with him not even doing anything memorable in the film which is something that does work against the film as while his actor Christopher Eccleston is indeed a rally good actor in his own right the writing for his character just isn't there this is despite the fact that this films script is on the whole really good with his character not even being given a reason as to why he's evil which granted does work in the fact alot of his squad are pretty much insane in the first place but the makers of this film still should have given a reason as to why he is the way that he is as that would then help us the audience learn to hate him even more then what we already do in the first place.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fifty three minuets and seven seconds. Which is alot longer then what it really should have been as while yes granted this film really does have the right amount of pot there to really cover that amount of running time when you think of zombie films let alone ones from the early to mid 2000's you don't think of them of being almost two hours long instead you think of them as being around about one hour and thirty minuets long which is roughly how long that this film should have been as it doesn't use it's running time wisely as while the plot of this film is as developed as it will ever be in certain aspects like explaining what the caused the outbreak in this film it doesn't really develop alot of other things as the film doesn't take the take to tell us why these zombies are not only affected by sound which is what causes them to come running towards to you but it also doesn't explain why these zombies run either and while it could be argued that not telling us why they run makes them all the more creepier as it does come out of nowhere it also would have helped to develop the world that this film takes place in if the makers of this film did tell us why these zombies can now run with the film not really developing it's characters all that much as characters like Frank for example don't get alot of time to get across just what there personalities are and what there backstory is with the same thing even being true for Hannah as well this is despite the fact that both Selena and Jim get fully developed and yet the films third main hero character gets nothing which makes her character all the more pointless and it would have helped the film out if her character was written out of the film with the remaining screen time being given the developing the rest of this films characters but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a zombie film that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual horror that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual horror that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. As while this films does mainly rely on jump scars for it's scares they are really effective as the film doesn't use any of the tricks that clue us the audience in on the fact that there might be a scare coming which makes it all the more scarier when something scary does happen with this film being a perfectly good example of how to do a good jump scare as by having the film mainly set in open environments for large portions of it's running time it really does mean that a zombie can and in some cases does come out of anywhere which is a very simple trick but it's one that works really well with the best in this film being the attack on the tunnel as all of our heroes are basically trapped between a wall of broken down cars behind them and so when the zombies do indeed start sprinting into the tunnel we the audience really do start to feel scared for our characters because there's no way that they can get out of this situation and so they all have to use there wits and smarts to get out of the tunnel which they just about manage to do and while there joy is short lived it's the very fact that they've just survived this kind if situation in a unique setting that helps to set it apart from all of the other zombie attacks in this film which while they are effective in their own unique way won't ever come close to topping the the zombie attack in the tunnel in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall 28 Years Later has alot to live up to a this film is just so good and more then holds up all of these later as the makers of this film weren't bothered about planting seeds for a sequel something which could be the case for 28 Years Later due to the fact that it's sequel is out in January as instead the makers of this film put both character and story first which is something that makes this film a really good film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official 28 Days Later fandom wiki page , Tenor and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film really are up and on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.
