Every few yearz, movie come along dat defy expectashuns, taking tired old formula and completely reinventing into someting fresh, ekciting and unekspected. Monster really wish me had seen dat movie. But instead, Monster watch Boy Killz World, movie dat feel like it written by A.I. script robot trained by 14 year old boyz raised on video games and repeated viewings of Kick-Ass 2.
In alternate world dere exist a society unlike any you ever seen before – unless you read or watched Hangry Games, Maize Runner, De Selekshun series, De Giver, De Ugleez, De Matched trilogy, or all of deir ripoffs…like dis movie. Rulerz be people who dress up like villains from old Dick Tracey comic strip, give speeches, and kill deir enemiez. As such, hero boy escape after family shot by older looking Jean Grey.
He den spend 18 yearz training wit mystery Shaman. It remind monster of time me train for MMMA (Mixed Monster Martial Arts), learn Krav Maga, Tie Chi and both Muay and Pad Thai. Master classik moves like “nad slap”, “nut grabber”, and always popular “skrotum swing”. Anyway, along de way, hero boy lose ability to speak so audience have to rely on irritating inner monolog narrashun by cartoon voice aktor who ramble on like Grover dat time he accidentally try limited edition Merry Meth Snapple.
Rest of movie be boyz kwest for revenge against family dat kill his family. Lots of over-de-top violenz wit lots of annoying qwippy voice-over make Monster tink writers REAAAAAALLLY wanted to work on next Deadpool movie, but had to settle for dis one instead. As matter of fakt, star of movie, Bill Skarsgaard remind Monster a bit of Ryan Reynolds becuz once me see Ryan eating Icelandic yogurt at Planet Fitness wit brand name very similar to Skarsgaard. And dats about it.
Anyhoo, heads crushed, hands cut off, feet chopped. Meanwhile, humor about as funny as time Bert try stand-up comedy (“What de deal with parasols? Dey just fancy umbrellas!”).
Late in movie, dere be big twist likes of which not seen since Misterio revealed to be aktual villain not just helpful guy in Spiderman Fa Fa Home. Movie also inklude tired social commentary on entertainment industry dat done much better 37 years ago in Running Man.
Verdict: Boy Kills World killz Monster’s brain cells. 2.5 out of 5 chocolate chipped cookies.
