| Thank goodness I watched this despite the erroneous so-so ratings! (by Kareneo) |
| I'm so glad I took the plunge and watched this. Initially I decided against it because of 60ish% ratings, but when I read the IMDb reviews, I saw enough literate reviews praising the film that I was encouraged to give it a go. This movie is utterly amazing. It builds tension gradually and ultimately for me perfectly! It has a wonderful underpinning of emotional truth, overlaid with Sci Fi thriller elements, and even weaves in a bit of teen romance to be the cherry on top! I cannot praise it highly enough. The poor reviews? I can only suppose people who a don't like - or are not <more> |
| 10/10 (by leytonandrewsfb) |
| Idk why but I really enjoyed this film normally I don't watch all of these super power films because I don't like unrealistic films but this one was awesome!!! Everyone needs to watch his its promising! The perspectives and the roles in this film were perfectly matched but towards the end it kinda got confusing and made no sense, I believe they had of rushed the ending of the this film but still great to watch. |
| Loved it! (by golgiapparatus) |
| Maisie was awesome in it! The premise allows for so much to be possible with his powers. Much to explore if they go for an iboy2! I've seen reviews that say the premise was far fetched, i think that the premise was new and different, and that originality is hard to do nowadays! Plus, I've seen sooo many movies that have way more out there premises and ate good i don't think that matters at all for a review tbh. Don't u want a movie to take u to places we cant go in real life? I sure do |

| A SERIOUSLY good flick.. (by A_Different_Drummer) |
| The biggest mistake you can make going into iBoy is expecting something from the Marvel catalog.Cause that is simply not going to happen.Instead what you get is a solid Brit "estate gang" story like Harry Brown 2009 or a dozen others you could probably recite from memory with some Marvel/Spiderman superhero stuff cleverly thrown in.And that is a mouthful because I have watched and reviewed a lot of films check out my list, about 1300 and have never seen anything quite like this before.Does it work? For the most part, YES. There are some pacing issues here and there, and it takes <more> |
| We have ourselves a cool "Watch Dogs" movie.... British-style (by thezenhu-94152) |
| I will try not to give away any of the film's premise but forewarning it may my be birthed. What a great twist on the cyber-hacking, revenge story. The main character comes out of a coma and is able to read, hack and decipher phones, computers and the like. As the story moves forward he uses this skill to get even with certain individuals. Maisie Williams from GOT, is great as usual and the main character is perfect as we weave our way through the story. I will not give away too much of the plot but the way Netflix are making these gems reminds of the 90's when film making took <more> |
| A decent addition to the superhero genre (by perkypops) |
| Lad is involved in incident with mobile phone and starts to exhibit special powers which he begins to use in many interesting ways. British cast, with younger actors predominating, does well in a film which is well photographed, well edited, and has a good soundtrack and better than average script. It's entertaining, has some novel twists, and is certainly well worth the watch.Perhaps it doesn't have the budget of the alternative superhero studios but Netflix have done well to release this as one of their originals. You will pay more to see worse.Recommended to anyone interested in <more> |
