Oh, dear, what have they done? This review will be short because I’m trying to forget I’ve seen this sequel. If I didn’t know any better, I’d have thought this was a mockbuster from The Asylum.

‘Megan’ wasn’t a great movie, but it was good enough, and felt like a cross between ‘A.I. Artificial Intelligence’ and ‘Child’s Play’. It was a creepy-ish horror movie. ‘Megan 2.0’ is an action thriller comedy with so much silly humour that it felt more like a spoof of ‘Megan’, ‘Child’s Play’, ‘Upgrade’, ‘The Terminator 2’, ‘Resident Evil’, and several other films – including superhero movies! – all rolled into a not-so-convincing not-so-interesting sequel.

The killer doll… erm, sorry, I mean artificial intelligence…now suddenly is the good guy fighting a new evil in the form of another doll…artificial intelligence… named Amelia. Oh, whatever, I found this boring and would like to forget it.

Would I watch it again? Oh, please, no…
