Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by M.10rda - Today at 03:39:54 PMMEGAN 2.0 (2025):
I thought the original was fairly successful in blending horror, sci-fi, melodrama, and comedy; a lot of other folks seemed to like it, too. So they made a sequel, doubling or quadrupling down on the comedy, more or less smothering any legitimate pathos, and giving Horror its walking papers in favor of unabashed Action. The original's bloodshed is now absent (presumably to secure a PG-13) even though characters are getting impaled onscreen and decapitated & dismembered offscreen. The original's entire surviving human cast is back and appear to have been provided with permanent plot armor.
(Maybe the execprod James Wan is hoping for another CONJURING or FAST/FURIOUS franchise.) And the titular killer android is back, now (more or less) on the side of the angels in a conflict against a newer nefarious female model... rendering this whole affair more than a bit like a distaff T2:JD.
Perhaps I should feel offended but, ehh, 2.0 is one of those passable movies too pleasant and competent to get offended over. The best line/laugh comes within the first 5 minutes (regarding the wisdom of supplying adolescents with smart phones) but I was kept complacent for most of the running time with a steady supply of smirks and small chuckles. I have nothing more complimentary to say about MEGAN 2.0, but it ain't bad........
.......Words I may regret in 2035 after 5-7 more MEGAN sequels........
3/5
It's also about 20 minutes too long. (So are the CONJURINGs and so probably are the F/F movies, only one of which I've had the patience to watch.)

Half the fun of these things is the slice of life aspect and pointless sub plots.
Sir, I vociferously object, and motion to introduce into evidence NIGHT OF THE GRIZZLY (recently reviewed in the Bad Movies section)!

Tho I'm not sure the 3+ hour version still exists.
The version I have on DVD is 159 minutes and I agree that the 3 hour + version no longer exists.
Well, as long as people remember it
