Doesn’t it feel good when you go to a movie you’ve been wanting to see and it turns out to be GREAT?
I had low expectations for M3GAN, but the killer doll (or robot?) slaaaaaaayyed! I laughed, felt emotional, and wanted to hide in my seat. SPOILER here: My favorite scene is M3GAN singing “Titanium” by David Guetta and Sia. So unexpected, and hilarious. Also, I appreciate how mild the gore was in the film. I can’t watch movies like Saw.
If you loved M3GAN like myself, here are 13 other movies you might like according to the AV Club website (I haven’t seen any of these except for the Chucky films) . . .
