Great time at the theater. Glad I saw this with a packed audience because most of what works with M3GAN are her subtle glances and her diminutive but foreboding dialogue quips that suggest to the audience the horrors that are about to come. And the audience was eating it all up before even a drop of blood was spilled. Unfortunately, there’s not a ton of blood that’s actually spilled. M3GAN definitely relies more on
its humorous tone and fun character design than it’s scares or it’s blood. I saw this with my wife and daughter, though, who aren’t very big into horror and they both had a blast. So while maintaining the PG-13 rating definitely comes at a cost for blood lusting horror fans, I think there’s still lots of fun to be had and hopefully the rating will allow M3GAN to reach a broader audience. Fun experience with some great laughs and some precious needle drops also. I would recommend seeing this in a packed audience if you can.
Oh yeah, and as always…don’t watch the trailers if you’ve somehow managed to avoid them. They definitely show a couple moments that would be much more effective as a surprise.
