    How had I never even heard of BOY KILLS WORLD? That movie is weirdly amazing. Bill Skarsgard as a deaf-mute killing machine whose internal monologue is voiced by H. Jon Benjamin. And the cast … m.youtube.com/watch?v=tztC...

    I've seen a couple requests the last week asking for a mindless fun movie to watch and it just occurred to me that BOY KILLS WORLD fits the bill. Great cast (Bill Skarsgard, Andrew Koji, the voice of H. Ron Benjamin), ludicrous pulpy action, highly recommended.

    Boy Kills World is very Noughties comic book movie in the style of Wanted. Hypervisualised and frenetic fighting. H Jon Benjamin as the voice is cute but I feel they should have used Bill Skarsgard himself as Benjamin just can't put much emotion into it. Worth a watch.

    Watched Boy Kills World I wish i could have H. Jon Benjamin narrate my thoughts. His voice just sounds that good. As for everything else, whenever it isn't all about the gory action scenes, the film struggles with it's humor, characters and writing.

    I didn't much care for BOY KILLS WORLD but it begs interesting questions about pop culture pastiche, and why some films put mass media into a blender and make classics, and others take the same ingredients and make a mess. 📽️ My review is at The Wrap! www.thewrap.com/boy-kills-wo...

    Boy Kills World. Had no subtitles on Paramount+ for over a year, really want to watch it but I can’t, I’m deaf. It get uploaded to a different streaming site finally… yet still no subtitles. It’s a movie about a deaf guy, that apparently deaf people shouldn’t have access to be able to watch it.

    I was worried that it wouldn’t know how to maintain the tone that it’s aiming for but I’m much less worried about that now. I was worried it was going to turn out like Boy Kills World…starring Bill Skarsgard. He really is in every movie. #FrightClub #Villains

    Boy Kills World (2024): Genuinely shocked by how much I liked this movie. Silly instead of smug, and — thanks to a strong variance in soundtrack and staging — the fight scenes never overstay their welcome. Oh, and it probably also helps that I’m Team Koji forever.

    78th movie of 2024: Boy Kills World (2023). A jokey tongue-in-cheek revenge story starring Bill Skarsgard as a mute who is voiced by H. Jon Benjamin. The action is somewhat lackluster but there are a number of funny running gags. If you like Deadpool and Bullet Train this one's for you #Filmsky 📽️

    And by expert, I don't mean knowing everything, but a critic who knows and understands action cinema understands seeing the difference in use of equaly overt violence in a film like John Wick vs Sisu vs Boy Kills World, and other people will just say "they are too violent for me" and call it a day.

    Film #21: BOY KILLS WORLD A frenetic sugar rush of a dystopian revenge fantasy, starring Bill Skarsgård as an ass-kicker who can't talk, and H. Jon Benjamin as the video game announcer voice in his head. If I was 18 it might be my new favorite film, but I'm not so its manic energy is kinda tedious.

    There’s a good 80-90 min movie within the 1hr 50min ‘24 version of THE CROW. Pacing is its biggest enemy but when it FINALLY goes off, it contains some great and brutal action sequences.
