Superintelligence Reviews
Melissa McCarthy is such a wonderful actor that it remains a shame that she keeps doing humorless and desperate movies like this.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 8, 2020
It's frustrating when a film begins with a promise and then settles on doing the same old, same old.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 4, 2020
Yet another bust from McCarthy and Falcone. McCarthy pops doing what she does best every now and then, but it's just not enough to support an unfunny AI romance that doesn't seem to understand how technology works.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 2, 2020
McCarthy has the movie if not completely to herself, then nearly so. Even though the innocuous Superintelligence is on the bland side, it remains hard not to enjoy two hours with McCarthy.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 1, 2020
Though nominally a sci-fi comedy, Superintelligence gives viewers almost nothing to look at beyond its appealing actors, often shot in soft focus.
| Original Score: C- | Dec 1, 2020
A rogue A.I. makes life by turns terrific and terrifying for "the most average person on Earth."

Everything about Superintelligence seems aimed at being as insipid and forgettable as possible.
| Original Score: .5/4 | Nov 27, 2020
Even when played by performers as dynamic as McCarthy and Cannavale, these characters can't manage one personality between them.
| Nov 26, 2020
McCarthy's "who me?" winsomeness, running neck and neck with her quick-witted cheekiness, is familiar. A new dynamic is added by the inspired Brian Tyree Henry...

It's a pleasant watch with some solid jokes.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 26, 2020
Superintelligence arrives this week as a comedy with actual charm, wit and, yes, laughs.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 26, 2020
[J]ust as the character of Carol Peters is notable for being such an average, unassuming person, in many ways the movie fits the model of so many movies in the emerging streaming era - innocuously passable diversions.
| Nov 26, 2020
[T]his is misguided from the beginning and flounders to its finish. "Superintelligence" needs a reboot.
| Original Score: D | Nov 25, 2020
Superintelligence won't be filed as a total disaster.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 25, 2020
The only way to outsmart the system is to watch something else instead.
| Original Score: D- | Nov 25, 2020
McCarthy can make Carol likable and relatable but even someone as talented as she is can't make this earnest do-gooder interesting.
| Nov 25, 2020
The big disappointment of the film is that Melissa McCarthy's performance is all Jekyll and no Hyde.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 25, 2020
