Critics wrong again as usual. I thought it cool. It was beautifully shot and the effects for "Junior' were dope as I had to keep doing a double take since I grew up on "Young" Will. Ang Lee's films have always been very visually stunning. I guess it had the typical "Government doing shady sh!t" plot. Honestly, I'm happy this film was made and this is exactly what separates Will from the current crop of so called "Movie Stars". He can still open an original Sci-Fi film not tied to a franchise. The Budget was obviously big mainly because of the technology being used. It feels like it could of dropped in the 90's for sure (Remember Double Impact, lol) I liked the pacing because they got right to it and it felt like a "Chase" type film since they were on the run for all of it. The action was dope too.

My only real beef was the climax felt kinda of rushed but Clive did decent as the Bad Guy, you can tell he had a warped view but I understood his motives overall as far as trying to make the perfect solider. Benedict and Mary were good co-stars too. As for the Box Office, blame the release date. This should of dropped Late Summer like August. Or before Summer like early April. "Joker" is just doing too good and "Addams Family" it tapping in the Halloween Market for kids. I think Overseas will end up saving it though. Will is coming off a Billi with "Aladdin", it's already in the green for this year. Also though they were different in tone, "Us" did deal wit the whole "A Copy of Myself is coming to kill me" so audiences did just see that earlier in the year. I remember in the 90's Just like "Volcano/Dante's Peek" or "Armageddon/Deep Impact" Sometimes when you drop a movie similar to something that already drop, somebody will get the short end of the stick at the box office. I give it a B -. I will always enjoy Will in Sci-Fi, it just works for him. Lastly the title kept making think of "Mega Man" from back in the day, lol.


Good review I kind of wish the super saiyan bad guy with no emotions at the end was the main villain

dude was a bad ass

Anyone saying this movie was decent or good is a dikk eater of the highest order.

Terrible CGI de-aging
Terrible CGI in general
Absolutely bland and lifeless plot
Young Will is actually awful

Will's movie career actually parallels LL's music career. A legend with genuine classics that put out nothing but trash for over a decade straight. :scust:

Critics who get access to see a movie weeks in advance and get hooked up with all the gifts and allure of seeing one of the movie's stars or director are not to be trusted.

I rarely see these critics who get invited to a early screening trash the movie.

I remember the ones who got to see Us a month in advance and meet Peele went on Twitter calling the movie a masterpiece. :mjlol:
Ironically, this movie left me feeling the same way I felt after leaving Us.

Trying to talk myself into liking it because of the high hopes I had for it (for Us, it was just cuz of the hype of Peele's follow up to Get Out, for this movie, I'm just a Will fan thus my high hopes).

But nah...this movie wasn't it. It wasn't bad. Just average.

It started off good. Hell when the clone came is actually when it got silly. They could have just had a standard bad guy tbh and the movie might have been better.

Least Bad Boys 3 looks to be a hit.

Movie was cool.

The action was fire.

Loved the different international filming locations.

Worth the $1 RedBox rental.
