Show more >> M3GAN 2.0 is a wild ride that doesn’t shy away from its horror roots, but it sometimes feels like it’s trying too hard to be both a thriller and a commentary on AI. While the concept of an upgraded M3GAN as a lethal protector is intriguing, the plot can often meander, leaving viewers wanting more coherence.
