M3GAN, the new horror flick by Universal Pictures, has proven very popular with Rotten Tomatoes critics with a rating of 94% on the Tomatometer. The rating is based on votes by 182 critics at the time of this writing, which points to most critics rating it positively.
M3GAN set the internet ablaze when its first trailer dropped in October. The film trended on Twitter with many people interested due to its exciting premise. However, while horror flicks often get high ratings on the Tomatometer, M3GAN's high rating is a little surprising given its story, which is silly and humorous when compared with most of the other highly rated horror films which are highbrow and artsy.
Here are what some critics say of the film:
William Bibbiani from The Wrap, wrote, "Johnstone's film captures the same alchemical blend of heart, humor, and havoc you find only rarely, in crossover classics like 'Gremlins,' and it yields more entertainment than most would-be blockbusters."
Mashable's Kristy Puchko, had the following to say: "Hold onto your wigs, because the next queer monster has arrived, and she's got better rhythm than the Babadook."
