I never expect much from modern horror movies aside from some mildly entertaining scares and a fun story. The infamous 'corridor dance' scene shown on the trailer for M3GAN was what got me to gather some friends in the cinema for a laugh and maybe a cheap scare or two. Whilst there weren't any considerable scares in the movie at all, there was no shortage of laughter. Almost all attempts of comedy fell flat on its face, which was made up for in laughable scares and extremely goofy chase scenes. The protagonist 'Gemma' is completely lifeless and unlikeable which stands as a result of poor acting and writing. Any of the audiences attempts to relate or care for her at all are severed by her complete disregard for any of the situations she finds herself in and lack of emotion or empathy portrayed by her character. She doesn't seem to be really bothered at all about the insane s happening, which actually led me to anticipate a twist in which it is revealed that she is in fact a robot as well. The fact that M3GAN herself displays more human characteristics than the main character astounds me. With that said, no-one had a good performance but 'Gemma' was a product of careless writing and acting.
Also -8 points for the water spill drawing scene like what.
