Here is My Movie Review of Mickey 17
Now when I saw the trailer for this film I was super excited because of the initial idea of this film having revolved around this guy Mickey Barens gets killed but then coming back and see himself and the Clone so that was a really interesting idea but they did not excited me actually more what the idea of Mark Ruffalo playing a villain because he is always the nice guy in movies he's not the villain. I heard a lot of people saying that this is one of the best films of this year. So I watched this film and I gotta say this is one of the biggest surprises of the year because I knew I was going to like this movie but I didn't know I was going to like it this much.
So basically what happens and that takes place in 2015 you have this guy named Mickey Barnes Who is with his friend Timo And they are on the spaceship and they are going to this ice planet And 4-year layer they arrive on the ice Planet and but in order to survive on the planet the astronaut to make this vaccine which will make them immune to freezing to death and Mickey Barnes is sent out on a dangerous task but he end up dying but he comes back and he sees his cloned self named Mickey 17. But then you have this guy named Kenneth Marshall who is essentially like the mayor of the Star ship crew who is telling his team to go on the planet to kill these things known as The Creepers because he viewed them at a threat but Nikki Barnes starts to like them and Kenneth threatens to kill Mickey Barnes and have clone and it's up to mickey Barnes and his clone to take down Kenneth Marshall and save the creepers and get back home to Earth and that's basically what the storyline is for this film. I have to say the storyline this movie is one of the most unique storylines for a movie of this entire year because the idea of Colonie is nothing new but having it be an outer space have a ton of potential in the film executes it really perfectly and it's up there with the Love Hurts with Key Huy Quan as one of the most interesting storylines of the entire year.
The acting in this movie is magnificent and I'm going to say this is one of the best acted films of the entire year because everyone is doing a flawless job as their characters and you can tell that everyone is having the time of their lives playing these characters. I think this film is up there with Thunderbolts* as one of the best acted films of the entire year.
Now let's talk about Robert Pattinson. Look, this guy is a magnificent actor. I enjoyed him in movies like The Lighthouse from 2019, Good Time, The Devil All The Time and The Batman from 2022. But I have to say this is probably one of his best performances of the entire film because he's playing three characters because plays Mickey Barnes, Mickey 17, and Mickey 18 and he does a fantastic job as all three of these characters. Now the character of Mickey Barnes is a very humble and really sympathetic character because he wants to Save all the creepers and take down Kenneth Marshall and get back home. The scene where Mickey Barnes is rescuing all the creepers with his clone Mickey 17 is one more powerful and emotional moment of the entire film because he really wants to save the creatures from this planet so they don't get killed by Kenneth Marshall. Is probably one of the most magnificent moments of the entire film. Now Mickey 17 as a character is also really interesting because he wants to help his original self take down Kenneth Marshall and Rebel against him and save all the creepers from the planet.The scene where Mickey 17 meets his original self and starts to freak out is not only really funny but it makes sense because he didn't know that he was a clone of his original self. It is probably one of the funniest moments of the entire film. Now Mickey 18 as a character is incredible because he also wants to help his clown and Mickey Barnes to save all the creepers that live on the planet. The scene where Mickey 18 sacrifices himself to take down Kenneth Marshall is one of the fast moments of the entire film because Mickey Barnes is begging him not to do it but Mickey 18 has to to save all the creatures on the planet from being killed by Kenneth Marshall. It is probably one of the most tragic moments of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Naomi Ackie, Steven Youn, Toni Colette, And Mark Ruffalo Is magnificent because I believe all these actors have glorious chemistry with one another.
Naomi Ackie plays Nasha Berridge In the film. I have to say she still does a glorious job playing the character she gets such a magnificent and entertaining and really fun performance. Now the character of Nasha Berridge Is incredible because you can tell that she really cares about Mickey Barnes and wants to help him and his clones save the creepers from being killed by Kenneth Marshall and get back home to Earth. The scene where she and Mickey Barnes are threaded through the snow trying to rescue all the creepers is really powerful and emotional moment because they do not want the animals to be killed by Kenneth Marshall. It is probably one of the most incredible moments of the entire film. Also I think the romance between her and Mickey Barnes is one of us lighthearted and one of the more entertaining aspects of the entire film. I do believe that they're romance is the strongest thing in the entire film. The chemistry between her and Robert Pinson is magnificent. I think their chemistry is the strongest thing in this entire film.
Steven Young plays Mickey Barnes's best friend Timo In the film. I have to say he still does a Splendid job as the character. He gives one of the most raw and one of most entertaining and fun performances of the entire film. Now the character of Timo Is one of the most interesting characters of the entire film because they want to help with friend Mickey Barnes rescue all the creepers on the planet and protect them and take down Kenneth Marshall and get back home and I think The bonding between him and Mickey Barnes is the highlight of the entire family on magnificent chemistry and their friendship in the strongest aspect of the entire film. The scene where Timo points a gun at Kenneth Marshall's wife Yifa Marshall and not only was it a really dark moment but it makes sense because Timo had enough of being controlled in the wants to stop following Kenneth Marshall's orders so you can by him trying to kill kenneth Marshall's wife because he hates being treated like a puppet essentially being control by someone else and being manipulated. It is probably one of the most nail biting moments of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Robert Pattinson is magnificent and really entertaining. I think that they have awesome and tremendous chemistry with each other and I would love to see him and Robert Pattinson in another film together.
Toni Colette Plays Kenneth Marshall's wife Yifa Marshall In the film. I have to say she still does a magnificent and wonderful job playing this character. You can tell that she is having a lot of fun playing this essentially snotty and entitled woman who only cares about her husband and what makes him happy. She enjoys watching him train people like garbage. Now the character of Yifa Marshall Is really incredible because she is a spoiled and accentuate a bitch she doesn't care about anyone except for her husband Kenneth Marshall and just enjoys watching and treat people like other shit she relishes in the fact That her husband enjoys enjoy trading People like garbage and enjoy fowling his orders is really disturbing and really entertain to watch. The scene where She sees Mickey Barnes gets hurts and her husband kenneth marshall it's about to like put him out with misery and she screamed I'm saying that you can't put blood on the carpet and not only was it really funny but it makes sense because his wife is essentially spoiled because she doesn't want any blood on her nice new carpet and it's what the funniest moments of the entire film. The chemistry between her and Robert Pattinson is Incredible.
However the absolute biggest standout of the entire film is Mark Ruffalo as Kenneth Marshall because his performance is one of the most entertaining and one must over the top performances of the entire film. Now this is really different performs from Mark Ruffalo because he really played really nice characters like Bruce Banner from the MCU. But in this film he essentially plays a snarky douchebag Who wants everything to go his way and he does a stellar job playing this very smug and very arrogant character and you can tell that Mark Ruffalo had a blast playing this character. Now the character of Kenneth Marshall is really interesting because he is essentially very similar to Maxwell Lord from Wonder Woman 1984, how both characters want everything to go their way. They are very smug and very arrogant and don't give a shit about anything but themselves. But the difference being that was Maxwell Lord you can feel bad for him but with Kenneth Marshall you can because of how snug and arrogant he is.The scene where Kenneth Marshall is Demands his team to kill the creepers is not only really dark but it makes sense because he viewed them as a threat and he wants to kill Mickey Barnes by having him be killed in a skirmish In the battle between the humans and the creepers. It is probably one of the most nail biting moments of the entire film. Not to mention Kenneth Marshall is fun to hate because you really want something bad to happen to this jackass and something does happen to him he gets blown up and he dies. I think he's up there with Alvin Knuckles from Love Hurts as one of the most narcissistic but one of the most entertaining villains of this year. The Rivalry between him and Mickey Barnes is excellent because he really hates him, he just wants to kill him so everything will go his way so he can still be in control of the ship. The chemistry between him and Robert Pattinson is tremendous.
But the thing I really want to talk about is the directing by Bon Joan Ho because he is a tremendous director because he directed the movie Okja from 2017 and he also directed Parasite from 2019. I think he did a magnificent job directing both of those films. I have to say this is probably his best directed film because what I love about his directing is that He does a glorious job of like making you care for Mickey Barnes because this is a guy that's been dying and he was cloned And he wants to help have the creepers survive and take down Kenneth Marshall because he is sick of falling his orders because he is a horrible and corrupt and disgusting politician that has done a lot of evil things. But I also like how he showed the dark side of politics because politicians can be really manipulated. But they can control the world and manipulate others to join their side. I think it was really magnificent how he did that because politicians are very tricky and really hard to understand. I think it is really incredible how he directed this film.
So in conclusion I still enjoy this film because I saw the trailer and I thought it looked really awesome. Now this is probably one of the biggest surprises of the entire year I thought I'll go like it but I never knew that I was going to like it this much because this movie well I had its frame moment and don't they brilliant job of taking the material stairs way and I also like how the film manages to discuss politics in a perfect way showing how cruel and corrupt some of them can be. Also Robert Pattinson gives another tremendous performance that he has ever given in his entire career. I still think the biggest standout is Mark Ruffalo as Kenneth Marshall and really self-centered politician who doesn't really care about anything except for being in the center of attention. He enjoys treating everyone like garbage because views himself as superior. It was actually really fun to see Mark Ruffalo play a straight up villain. I think Kenneth Marshall is up there with Red Hulk from Captain America Brave New World as one of the most entertaining villains of this year. I still think he is also up there with The High Evolutionary from Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 as one of the most entertaining villains of the 2020s. I highly recommend you see this film. You will not be disappointed because the storyline is magnificent and all the performances are really great but I highly recommend you watch it just for Mark Ruffalo's captivating and entertaining performance. Also if you enjoy really entertaining films like Love Hurts with Ke Huy Quan. Then I'm sure you're going to like this film as well. I give this movie a 10/10.
