I’m not going to claim this is a fantastic movie, I’m only saying it isn’t as bad as the title would suggest. Because with a name like ‘iBoy’ I would expect it to be much worse.
It’s about a teenager who gets shot in the head while using his cellphone. The bullet lodges cellphone shrapnel into his brain and gives him magical control over all electronics. So he becomes a vigilante to stop the local gangs.
So yes, while you do have to shut off your brain and suspend all disbelief, ‘iBoy’ is such a stupid title I would’ve thought it’d be an even dumber movie. Plus, I liked the augmented reality visuals when he used his powers.
The movie is on Netflix, so you can go watch it right now!

From the synopsis, it sounds just as dumb as I’d expect.
I guess I would’ve expected something called iBoy to be closer to Astro Boy. Like a kids movie about an android or something. So I was pleasantly surprised to find an action movie about a vigilante.
It’s just hard to accept the premise. The kid could’ve been given a magical amulet to control electronics and it would’ve made just as much sense.
Next round of iboy tik Tok challenges is going to be sad.

Hmmmmmmmm. 🤔

I watched this a while ago just because it had Maisie.
I agree. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Also, if I remember right, it has rape, so if you get triggered by that, I would avoid.
