Mickey 17 Reviews
It might not be Bong Joon Ho's best film, but strong themes, beautiful visuals and a great performance from Robert Pattinson will keep the viewer engaged throughout.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 22, 2025
Mickey 17 isn’t the best work from one of the current cinema’s great visionaries, but remember, mid-tier Bong is better than upper-tier work from, well, nearly everyone else.

It’s nice to see such a singular filmmaker like Bong Joon-ho get carte blanche to do whatever he wants on Warner Bros. Discovery's dime. This is how it should be.

Think Don’t Look Up meets Okja, but toned down. Mickey 17 is fun, sleek, and smart-ish—until it chooses predictability over provocation.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 14, 2025
In Mickey 17 the chance of living again is linked to a form of slavery. The film itself ends with marks on a board rather than a photographed human scene, letters and numbers offered as a visual tribute to mortal singularity.

Bong offers a sci-fi premise that questions capitalism and immigration with a certain pretension, but, in general, its plot is excessively fragmented and the strength between so many chaotic characters is almost not evident. [Full review in Spanish]

It's all kind of weird and messy, I don't know if it sticks the landing, but the dynamic between Mickey and Nasha is really great and there's a lot fun to be had here with the bizarre experimenting.
| Original Score: B+ | Apr 4, 2025
The grey slop force-fed to the characters during their voyage to Niflheim illustrates the film best: it's nutritious but unsatisfactory. I'm still hungry.

Oscar-winning filmmaker Bong Joon Ho's (Parasite) raucous, wildly entertaining sci-fi comedy is a high-pitched, high-concept combo of slapstick and social commentary.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 4, 2025
Somewhere between the stuttering narrative momentum and the project’s massive scale and resources (budgeted around $118 million), the focus and clarity of how Bong diagnoses social and political malaise has been compromised.

I loved the first half but the film loses all pace, structure, and tonal consistency as it goes along. Feels like editing malpractice.
| Original Score: C+ | Apr 2, 2025
This is an unconventional picture, but it is still a crowd pleaser. Mickey is a little goofy, but likeable, giving Pattinson the opportunity to explore personality traits audiences haven’t seen him play on screen before.

Even with some special sauce, “Mickey 17” might not be for everyone. But for those who like the unpredictable nature of a brilliant director, it’s an appetizer, main course and dessert all rolled into one. Sushi was never this good.

'Mickey 17' plays like a *very good* Bong Joon-ho mix tape.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 28, 2025
It's a wild sci-fi romp from director Bong Joon Ho.
| Original Score: 3 1/2 stars | Mar 28, 2025
a near miss from director Bong is better than 90 percent of what other filmmakers are typically capable of
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 26, 2025
Despite all the bleakness, Mickey 17 ends on a hopeful note. Justice prevails.

A valuable asset here is a classical, piano-driven score by “Squid Game” composer Jung Jae-il, an inspired departure from the synth chords and electric beeps one tends to hear in so many other films and longform 온라인카지노추천 depicting the future.

Bong gives a subtle blueprint for resisting fascism and dominant class cultures: know which orders to disobey and follow your natural instincts.

Inventive but lacking in character development.
