Todas as crianças veem ao mundo plenas de promessas, e ninguém mais do que Chappie: ele é talentoso, especial, um prodígio. Como qualquer criança, Chappie sofre as influências do que o rodeia - algumas boas, outras más - e vai ter que confiar no seu coração e alma para encontrar o seu caminho no mundo e se tornar um 'homem'. Mas existe algo que faz com que Chappie seja diferente de todos: ele é um robô. O primeiro robô com a capacidade de pensar e sentir por si mesmo. E essa é uma ideia perigosa – e um desafio que colocará Chappie no caminho de poderosas e destrutivas forças que pretendem que ele seja o último da sua espécie. (texto oficial do distribuidor)

Um híbrido dramaturgicamente mal gerido de Mad Max, RoboCop e Curto-Circuito, com o maior porcaria de elenco em anos (Hugh Jackman). E, em geral, todos os personagens são horrivelmente disfuncionais, seja quem for que os interprete. Incluindo as motivações e o comportamento do homem de lata Chappie. Blomkamp tem um orçamento de filme A, técnica e atores, mas dirige como os gajos de Asylum.

Why? Because Die Antwoord, that’s why. Throw in a bit of wacky comedy, a bit of fatalistic sci-fi drama, add a dash of Deus Ex Machina and a few ideas from The Matrix on top, season it with a pinch of clichés, stir it up and you have a fun, inconsistent mashup of genres that one moment is laugh-out-loud hilarious and the next is naturalistically ripping your body in half. Blomkamp is a misunderstood filmmaker doing things his own way, the antithesis of the California dream factory of today. And that’s good. And one thing is certain: Die Antwoord are aliens whose cute non-acting is amusing. Although I believe those two didn't have to play much, they're fucked up in real life añready :o)

Blomkamp the director trying hard to compensate for the incompetence of Blomkamp the screenwriter. Chappie is nice to look at, it has some good moments, but when you start thinking about it… :-( When you take the stories of each of the characters away from the plot, their behaviour is well… a stupidity race with a photo finish. Every single one of the blokes in there do the best they can to excel in this discipline.

The anarchic visual firepower, which suited Blomkamp more than I was reluctant to believe after all the trailers, is carried primarily by Opaloch's eccentric cinematography, which sells the wannabe documentary style as well as few other films, and by the bizarre cast starting with Die Antwoord and ending with Jackman's hairstyle. Charlto Copley milks tears from only doing the audio. Elysium is forgiven. Even with the dramaturgical leash tightened very short, even Alien could have succeeded.

Neill Blomkamp lived up to his standard and finally added a static camera, which makes Chappie his best movie in terms of technologies. The fact that he cast the gang from the band Die Antwoord into some of the leading roles is also a big plus for me. I cannot think of anybody else from Johannesburg who could play bigger gangsters and creeps than Yolandi and Ninja. They are so extremely crazy, rotten and their music is so aggressive that nothing could fit into this movie better. I am a bit surprised that the director once again portrays Johannesburg as the worst place to inhabit, where not even the craziest Scandinavian murderer would want to live, as in Scandinavia, they treat murderers in prisons better than what the inhabitants of this town get on a daily basis. That is the only thing that bothered me about this film and the only reason why I didn’t rate it with five stars. Watching this city full of cement lots overgrown with thicket, teeming with human filth, is not really the peace and quiet my brain needs. Everything else was almost flawless.

A film with the IQ of a toaster and the elegance of a garbage disposal. I really wanted to like it, but I can in no way excuse such a sloppily welded approach (the directing, acting, writing), not even the fact that Chappie is a delightfully naive creature. Neill, take a break.

Those who like Neil Blomkamp's style will love Chappie and even want to be friends with him. The film beautifully illustrates the problems of today's society and what it is like to bring life into the wrong hands. The very ugly and unlikeable villains, the ugly and dirty housing estates, the landscape, all come across as very ugly and you tell yourself I wouldn't want to spend the night in this ghetto. Fortunately, Chappie is a sweetheart, cute, sweet, innocent you can't help but love him, so the empathy works 150%, and many times you want to shed a tear. The action is decent (even bloody a couple of times), accompanied by a great soundtrack by Hans Zimmer, the humour and the emotions work here, so for me a really decent film with a very nicely thought out ending. Even though it's more of a grittier fairy tale, it's great to watch and there will be a sequel will be here, of course. 80%

Once again, it's a story told in a rush and in a hastily made-up world that stands on terribly unstable legs. Just like with Elysium, logic is dealt a heavy blow every few minutes, confirming once and for all that I don't understand the most determined advocate for the Republic of South Africa. It's clear how much he enjoys writing, directing, and perfecting films, but when bloody scenes alternate with infantile ones and a barrage of insults with moralizing, it's all for nothing. That's why all credit goes to undeterred Hugh Jackman, whose villain is boring, illogical, and oddly poorly written – and yet I still enjoyed watching him. But without the final ten minutes, which will surely make pedantic viewers tear their hair out in desperation, it's a downhill journey once again. This is how Neill Blomkamp successfully extracted emotions from me for the first time in his career. Because of this, I have increasing concerns about the fate of the fifth Alien film, no matter what plot lines it follows.

My friends ask me what Chappie was like, so I'll post here on FilmBooster what I usually tell everyone: Not great. Apparently the director tried hard to make another District 9, only with robots, and it didn't work out so well. There's too much violence for my taste, especially violence against Chappie himself (not just physical, but psychological as well). Apparently, to make it less drastic, the director added some comic elements, in which he makes the robot a gangster. Unfortunately, it was funny only once; after that I found it rather awkward. Another problem was that Chappie is a film where there isn't a single likable character I could relate to – I hated them all, even Chappie himself (that is, only from the middle of the film; he was just a cute little kid at the beginning). The action was okay, Hugh Jackman as the bad guy was for me a role I've never seen him in before, so more or less a nice bonus. He played the maniac pretty convincingly. Unfortunately, I felt that the already rather contradictory film ended as if someone had pulled it out of their hat (I would say “out of their ass" to my friends, but I won't use such foul language here!). Apparently they don't have hospitals in Johannesburg. It has logical flaws; it has no hero. From a feeling point of view, I absolutely disliked the film (I kept telling myself that this is wrong, it's not supposed to be like this). Don't let the kids see it, show them Short Circuit instead.

An unusual sci-fi, especially these days. The dramaturgy is screwed, but in any case Chappie works like an indie R-rated comedy about how No. 5 picked up a gun and in the finale gives the Robocop chicken a piece of his mind. This is a fan movie with a massive budget where Blomkamp breaks loose from his fetters and had some fun with his friends from Die Antwort, Ripley and the robotic Sharlto Copley. Much more than crazy action, this is about how a gangster raises a child and about machines becoming human and the other way round too. P.S.: Hugh Jackman is incredible, he reminded me of an former workmate... But to go against such a cool image and create such an unpleasant bastard is almost the most remarkable acting performance of the whole movie, apart from Copely. That’s concussion, Mommy.

Science fiction live, or another escapade by Neill Blomkamp, a lover of craziness. But while District 9 was original and Elysium was at least technically opulent, Chappie is neither. It cutely and at the same time quite stupidly winks at the viewer, but essentially offers clichés and average emotions. You will sympathise with the robot protagonist only when he cutely says "fuckmother" and philosophises with his equally cute father and mother. Otherwise, it's just an ordinary film that doesn't have much to offer. There’s not much action, Hugh Jackman is in a strange role that doesn't give him much space, and Sharlto Copley, instead of running around the set and throwing his brilliant psycho lines and crazy faces, is in a metal box.

Pretty bad. The great technical aspects and a titanic protagonist who really looks 100% real unfortunately can't balance the extremely annoying characters, the disappointing barking of Sigourney Weaver and a shoddy script that makes a fool of even poor Hugh Jackman. Oh dear. Neill Blomkamp has a lot to fix in his next film.

Like The Gamer or Spring Breakers, for example, Chappie is a film that will be appreciated years down the line. And not just because it will be a kind of mausoleum of Zef culture after it is replaced by something even more exquisite. The film is incredibly leaky script-wise, fails to work with shortcuts, and dramaturgically also lies on its back, miserably kicking its feet in the air. Yet it is full of themes and ideas, of which the metaphor of the vicious cycle of crime in the slums stands out in particular, which we see through Chappie himself, who though confusing in body, is otherwise a 12-year-old boy people shoot and throw molotovs at even though he is veritably indestructible. I recommend overlooking the fact that one of the fundamental issues of science fiction (digital preservation of consciousness) is sort of resolved in passing here. But ask not what Blomkamp can give us, but what we can give Blomkamp. Because once again, the film is shot and edited to perfection. In other words, Blomkamp should get a new co-screenwriter and 200 million for his next film.

I'm not saying it's a cinematographic gem, but it definitely has its bright moments. A totally wacky movie. I’m giving 4 stars because the film introduced me to Die Antwoord. When I'm bored, I watch their videos and laugh like a madman.

I simply enjoy Neill Blomkamp's work, and with this film, he once again proved to me that he is definitely one of the best auteur filmmakers, who is also capable of using digital effects at an incredible level. He’s one of the few filmmakers whose digital characters I truly believe in and feel are real. The story has its flaws, but I was glued to the plot for the entire two hours, eager to see how it would end. Fresh characters that don't bore.
