I Am Watching This

Megan 2.0
A powerful defense contractor has stolen and exploited M3GAN’s technology to create a military weapon, Amelia. As Amelia develops self-awareness, she becomes less and less willing to follow human orders—or even tolerate their presence. A sequel to the unexpected hit M3GAN. Is it worth it?

• Plenty of action.

• The abilities of both robots are used in clever ways.

• There’s at least an attempt to explore artificial intelligence, even if only superficially.

• M3GAN’s vocal delivery and outrageous confidence make their presence felt once again.

• It seems to have lost the freshness and originality of the first film, with the sequel existing simply because it had to.

• Feels more like an action film than a horror.

• Weak script.

• Repetitive, especially during the action scenes.

• The gore moments end up feeling flat.

• Basic directing.

• Predictable ending.

• Poor pacing, sometimes even lifeless.

*Overall, it’s not terrible—but it’s not the continuation we were hoping for from M3GAN.

Karate Kid Legends

Li struggles to leave behind his past and a family tragedy while trying to adapt to his new school. Even though he doesn’t want to fight, trouble seems to follow him everywhere. When a new friend needs his help, he enters a karate tournament—but his skills alone won’t be enough. A continuation of the franchise after many years… Is it worth your attention?

• The best part of the film, in my opinion, is Li, the young protagonist. Strong performance, very promising for the future.

• Simply entertaining, nothing more—it doesn’t bring anything new.

• Jackie Chan is just okay, adding a bit of comedy, though nowhere near Miyagi’s level.

• The nostalgia factor definitely has its place in this movie.

• The parallel editing in some scenes shows promise.

• Overall solid performances, with credit to Joshua Jackson.

• Nicely choreographed fight sequences.

• Ralph Macchio, for me, is talentless, and unfortunately doesn’t make any difference here. He was lucky to get that break in 1984, but he simply doesn’t have it. His presence in the movie feels unnecessary, serving only fan service.

• Quite predictable, with a basic storyline we’ve seen many times before.

• With a few exceptions, the directing is also basic—though not outright bad.

• Visually and dramatically, the result feels forced.

• I found the second half weaker than the first.

• Some scenes are over the top.

• Overall, it’s fun and enjoyable—but nothing beyond that.
