I'm pretty sure most of you can tell exactly how this film is going to go just by this one image, and no-one with an ounce of common sense would take you up on the bet that you're correct. IMO the only reason to make a film like this is because say a new director wants to make their mark by doing something remarkably unique with it. Instead we've got CGI'd lipstick on a pig.

Maybe she will be a really nice robot this time?

It's a horror movie. Would you rather they had employed a real child and made her do all that crazy stuff?

Looks like at least some portions are played by a kid per the imdb page. Well she is credited as the bot at least.

So they DID employ a little gymnast! Dang!

The trailer looks kind of fun actually, but when will short circuit come back?!

I saw it and was entertained. Get ready for like 3-4 more of them since it is very successful.

Almost $50M ww gross less than a week from release on a $12M production budget. Industry perfection.

This movie looks great.

Just don't see it, boomer.

 

[mindless1]

Meh, there's plenty of chicks like that on youtube.

 

[Artorias]

We need a Megan and Ted crossover.

i saw this in the previews in the movie theater.
if those are the best scenes in the movie, then i shudder at the rest of the movie.

and it reminds me of bride of chucky.

um.. a child (or a dwarf) did do all that stuff on screen.
then a layer of cgi on top.

wonder why they used a champion dancer girl to play M3gan?

 

[igor_kavinski]

I'm watching M3GAN right now. It's pretty good, so far.

Spoiler

I must be a foolish old sentimental woman, coz that touching scene made me shed some tears

In the trailer she does a few somersaults IIRC

 

[igor_kavinski]

6.5/10 minimum.

Worth watching.

 

[igor_kavinski]

By the way, trailers suck. It's almost impossible to tell how good or bad a movie may be judging from its trailer. I was convinced that Rogue One would be awful and Solo would be great, yet the former pleasantly surprised and amazed me while the latter was just boring as heck.

yeah, i would figure a champion girl gymnasts instead of dancer?
