TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 24 AXL is a film with a perplexing mix of strong acting and a weak screenplay. The cast delivers solid performances, making it watchable despite the chaotic storytelling. The actors’ commitment brings credibility to their roles, allowing viewers to somewhat grasp the intended plot and character dynamics. However, the screenplay undermines the film’s potential; it’s disjointed, inconsistent, and often fails to develop the story or characters in a meaningful way. The narrative transitions feel abrupt, leaving the audience confused rather than engaged. While the concept and performances show promise, the movie ultimately loses cohesion and fails to resonate emotionally. It’s watchable once but lacks rewatch value, as the poor story overshadows the competent acting. Overall, AXL had potential but ultimately falls flat, delivering a flat, unfulfilling cinematic experience. See more Frank F @RT84901145 Sep 24 The concept of this movie was really good. I just felt the writing of the relationships and in general was lacking. It felt like this was a sequel to something. Like we already KNEW the relationships between everyone, yet we didn't know anyone. Watching this in 2025 with AI a big thing, makes this a very interesting concept. I'd be interested to see it redone as a series maybe, that way they could build up character relationships. Don't know where/how the series would end, but for an hour and a half movie....... it's definitely sub par.

Then again, the acting and writing could definitely be better. So, in conclusion, it’s a great concept and worth a watch, but it’s far from perfect.

See more Ryan P @RT03374899 02/23/2025 I can see why some critics would have issues with this movie, as when it comes to the "A boy and his...." stories, it pretty much plays it safe and and just hits the beats when it's supposed to. But, first off, watching this has made me realize how much I miss practical effects. The puppet work on AXL was good, and many reviews I read kinda gloss over that. I think, with todays technology, I would like to see this given another go just to see how well they can better blend the practical effects with modern CGI. Second, I feel this story, though standard for "A boy and his...", it did it well. I wanted to see how things turned out and it left me wanting a tv series at the very least to see what kind of shenanigans this boy and his robot dog could and would get into. If done right, I think it could have the potential to be a modern day Knightrider.... only good, unlike the actual modern day Knightrider, lol. Bottom line: I thought it was good. Not great, but good enough where I wouldn't mind having it in my collection and perhaps seeing either a reboot or a tv series based on it.

Ive watched it over and over since it came out, first watching it in theaters i believe. I am so upset that people believe this movie sucks because it’s depriving me of a second movie that i so desperately need. 100% recommend to watch. See more Read all reviews
