Mickey 17 Ratings & Reviews
- Marco Reyes7d agoit was better than i expected. i enjoyed the world and the storyboard. characters could've been developed better but overall an interesting concept.
- Brad.Plex.March 7, 2025I would rather sign up to be an expendable than sit through this mess of a film again.
- Alex | Pop Culture BrainMarch 7, 2025Bong Joon-ho dared to ask what if Idiocracy meets Avatar And well, mission accomplished I saw Mickey 17 so here’s the good and the bad without spoilers Parasite, in my opinion, is a masterpiece So I was anticipating and also dreading what director Bong Joon-ho would do next Turns out I had nothing to worry about, because his follow up Mickey 17 Is another banger but for completely different reasons This sci fi dark comedy throws back to a lot his previous work Echoing Okja and Snowpiercer in equal measure But it’s a lot more like the former in tone — because this movie is capital H Hilarious I was laughing out loud throughout. It was easily the most fun I’ve had at the movies so far this year And that was no easy task, because the tone director Bong and the cast accomplish here is really tricky It has to remain tense and exciting to pull of the science fiction adventure stuff But also has to be broad and wacky enough to be land the comedy And at any moment things could have gone off the rails by being too over the top But they never did All the performances were on the exact same page about what this movie was It all felt of a piece and that requires clear vision from the director and a sense of continuity among the actors The whole cast is worth mentioning, but Robert Pattinson was genius in multiple roles Mark Ruffalo was bonkers and hysterical - not far from his Poor Things performance While Steve Yeun has a brilliant monologue late in the film Likewise, Bong Joon-ho uses some clever unconventional editing techniques to hook you in The production design was thoughtful, intriguing, and expansive And like so many of Bong’s previous movies, the satire was on point That said the overall theme is one we've seen many times before The movie’s climax kind of devolves into a more typical sci fi adventure Which felt a little less special and unique compared to the rest of the movie And the sound design in the climax was rough, I lost a lot of dialogue But in general Mickey 17 is a blast and another achievement for Bong Joon-ho
- DoggesAndCattesMay 1, 2025You don't need to watch Mickey 1 through 16 to enjoy this film. Mickey 17 is its own self contained story that is both entertaining and well done. Great to see returning cast play all new characters with Robert Pattinson reprising the titular role as Mickey Barnes. Looking forward to Mickey 18!
- RievousApril 7, 2025Honestly it's the most original film I've seen in a while.
- Kit LazerMarch 6, 2025The universe had this movie delayed 37 times until the precise moment we needed it most.
- FPSGrindDecember 6, 2025Any character development seems to happen off-screen. Characters were pretty uninteresting and campy. The thing also drags on 45 mins longer than it should have. Huge waste of time but after the first hour I was already committed to finishing.
- nja2454December 5, 2025They took a great book and ruined it. The director, Bong Joon Ho should've been thrown into the cycler balls first. The end, roll credits. That would've been a better plot and more accurate to Edward Ashton's story. Don't waste your time with this insult of a movie. Read Mickey 7 and then Antimatter Blues
- HumptyApril 13, 2025Can't wait for Mickey 19
- Mr.MigDecember 3, 2025dark comedy? > Dr. Strangelove satire? > Starship Stroopers ethics of cloning? > Moon diverging personalities which do make sense? > Split good Bong Joon-ho movies? > Memories of Murder, Parasite trump impressions? > any standup comedian on youtube
- capitanpesoNovember 24, 2025Probably one of the most polarizing movie of this year you either love it or hate it.
- Allie TranMarch 31, 2025First of all, those “creeper” creatures are the cutest things I’ve ever seen. The concept as a whole was brilliant and there was a lot to work with. Although it tackles the philosophy of cloning head first, I still feel like it could’ve done a bit more with it. Majority of the film hit for me, some didn’t.
- miinjooNovember 7, 2025Even though it is a fictional story, there are many parallels to our reality. Very well done and well acted. Getting better with every minute
- AmpleVisionFlicksJune 11, 2025In an era saturated with remakes and cinematic universes, Mickey 17 stands out as a refreshing departure. A film adapted from Edward Ashton’s remarkably original novel Mickey7. While the concept may not have originated on screen, the story itself remains a bold and inventive piece of science fiction, brimming with philosophical questions and dark humor. Robert Pattinson delivers one of his most nuanced performances yet, capturing both the existential dread and the dry wit of a character caught in a bizarre cycle of sacrifice and rebirth. His portrayal anchors the film emotionally, and he’s supported by a cast whose performances are uniformly compelling and convincing. Though the movie draws from a pre-existing source, it still feels like a rare offering: smart, entertaining science fiction that doesn't talk down to its audience. It brings to the screen a story that, while born in literature, feels entirely fresh in the world of film. If you’re hungry for something that dares to be different, Mickey 17 is well worth the watch.
- Sagi GevaOctober 25, 2025Not sure why everybody hates it, I like the originality.
