Synopsis
Skarsgård stars as "Boy" who avows revenge after his family is murdered by Hilda Van Der Koy (Janssen), the deranged matriarch of a corrupt post-apocalyptic dynasty that left the boy orphaned, deaf and voiceless. Driven by his inner voice, one which he co-opted from his favorite childhood video game, Boy trains with a mysterious shaman (Ruhian) to become an instrument of death and is set loose on the eve of the annual culling of dissidents. Bedlam ensues as Boy commits bloody martial arts mayhem, inciting a wrath of carnage and blood-letting. As he tries to get his bearings in this delirious realm, Boy soon falls in with a desperate resistance group, all the while bickering with the apparent ghost of his rebellious little sister.

cobApr 29, 2024Why was bob’s burger talking to me the whole time during this movie
Haunted HippieApr 30, 2024A clear example of the overabundance of style over substance. This film is almost like Looney Toons or Scott Pilgrim on cocaine, both in a good and bad way. Its chaotic, frantic to the point that it makes its simple premise come off as somewhat convoluted. Not so much that…

Idc, idc, idc about the critics. This movie banged. Soooo entertaining :)
If watch mojo had a list of Top 10 movies that go hard. This one would be on it lol
Typically I like mindless violent action movies but this fell flat to me. The universe wasn’t established enough for me to care about the main character or the plot. The voiceover done by Archer/Bob was annoying. Boy being mute and deaf got old quick too. Do not recommend

7/10 Pretty entertaining. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Probably cause I went in expecting nothing. Solid action, story had some decent emotional beats but was meh overall. The humor was also pretty good, had me laughing throughout
This film lives up to the action thriller genre with its high-paced fights and probably the most blood and gore I’ve seen in a movie to date. It was gripping and well shot, but at certain times it felt as though the plot was lost to include longer fight scenes.

GENIUS!! LIKE GENUINELY GENUIS!!! PLEASE GO SEE THIS MOVIE ASAP!!!
I liked it, it was kinda slow in the first part. It was surprising at the end….like I said..it was a good movie Just go during the afternoon and you save money on tickets
Metacritic
Overlong and overstimulating, the entire film is like a giant, immersive eyesore.
There are clever ideas and casting flourishes at the heart of “Boy Kills World.” But in execution, one keeps coming back to the phrase “Less is more,” even in a hyper-violent action comedy where the excess is kind of the point.
There’s no apparent human feeling on display here, just scene after scene of protracted martial arts combat that goes on and on, while providing no rooting interest.
