Loving their advertising campaign. Their Instagram stories are blowing up as the M3GAN clones are going all over the place lol.

So she killed "bunch" more people in the originally shot R version and that version was "much gorier" than the PG-13 version they edited and reshot it into.

Hopefully checking it out later this week.

Saw it, I really enjoyed it. It's a movie I felt is entertaining on it's own, despite some say about its similarities with Child's Play. There are some scenes that noticeably show that this was originally going to be an R-rated film which kinda leads to my few criticisms...

Spoiler:

• Megan's kill count was 4 in total. I'm not counting the dog since they never really show what happened to it or how she killed it, if she did. You hear it whimpering somewhere in the garage but you don't know if it's actually the dog or her imitating it's voice.

• The deaths were heavily toned down as there's very little blood even though the aftermath of her last two victims of the elevator were as bloody as they could get. Still pretty bad that the boy's ear being ripped off couldn't show any blood. Why bother leaving that part in?

• How they defeated Megan was predictable and a little disappointing.

It helps that you know what kind of movie you're going to watch a head of time with mild expectations. If you do, I would recommend it.

Sounds like a movie really handicapped by a PG-13 rating. As I suspected.

Yeah no lie, it was.

[CyberCubed]

The actress who played the female lead and little girl were honestly really bad, they never looked scared or believeable in any of the horror scenes. I usually am forgiving to things like this, but the lead actress just had this weird indifference look to her face even after she was being strangled by a robot doll, lol.

Hopefully we are seeing this tonight....

[Coola Yagami]

****in loved it. I'll give my thoughts in a few days so not to spoil it. Will most likely film a review tomorrow after I have some time to gather my thoughts and not just blurt out madness, lol.

A bunch? I only saw a few examples of possible victims unless there were entire subplots cut from the film.

Spoiler:

Two people had kinda ambiguous 'deaths', so I'm assuming in the R version they flat out died and in more definitive and gruesome ways

I mean... maybe that guidance counselor could have been a victim, though I don't know how that would have fit.

M3GAN was also in front of a crowd at the expo, but I mean, her top priority was to head home. She never really got to a 'kill everyone for the sake of killing everyone' mindset, just anyone that directly got in her way and any witnesses (and anyone that hurts Cadie). I mean I can assume maaaaybe some people at the expo tried to stop her from leaving?? Or she ran into more victims on her way to the expo???

It's their own words, not mine. So probably.

[Coola Yagami]

I will be honest though, that one scene did tear me up, though I'm confused as to why apparently it made other audiences laugh??

As someone who also lost their parents, I did emphasize with Cady's fear of someday forgetting what your parents look like or sound like. Apparently, M3GAN's song during that scene made people laugh despite the scene being played completely straight.

Now her second song though... lol.... and her also playing 'Toy Soldiers' on the piano....

R-rated edition when?

They've said they'll probably do it. Hopefully they put that version in theaters for a while.

Same with my theater. I didn't get how that scene was funny. Yet they were dead silent when the kid got hit by the car or when she was stretching his elastic ears. Then again, I thought the movie was extremely mediocre despite how much everyone seems to love it even though it was pretty dumb, wasn't scary, nor even that funny. My theater chuckled like 5 times and never at the stuff I was laughing at.

Isn’t this basically a gender-swapped version of the 2019 Child’s Play?

Sorta. It's kinda why I wish they either released this sooner or they never made that remake.

It's gonna be kinda like the FNAF movie (whenever it comes out). People are gonna compare it to Willy's Wonderland.
