The first reactions have arrived for Bong Joon-ho’s latest movie, with the cast being praised and some labelling it another masterpiece for the director.
It’s always wise to proceed with caution when reading ‘early reaction’ posts from people who have had a sneak peak at the latest must-see movie release. Just look at Captain America: A Brave New World. The early reactions were strong but since its release, it’s generall been regarded as just another bog-standard Marvel movie that left some people bored and disappointed.
However, when you’re talking about a visionary director such as Bong Joon-ho, who’s last movie Parasite is a modern classic, you might want to believe the early buzz. Check out the first reactions below…
Bong Joon-ho’s #Mickey17 is an absolute riot and Robert Pattinson further proves why he is one of the best, most versatile actors working today.

The first half is tremendous - funny, violent, endearing, and then it settles into something more powerful and timely in classic… pic.twitter.com/5fFPBijhSF
Director Bong does it again! #Mickey17 is mind blowing, hilarious, and his most epic film to date! Weird, smart, and wonderful, with a stellar dual performance from Robert Pattinson, and brilliant turns from Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo! @wbpictures pic.twitter.com/z13dgiai9a

#Mickey17: Bong Joon Ho really doesn’t miss. A vicious commentary on the state of things in the world. The lengths we will go to survive in a capitalist existence will have you signing up to be an ‘Expendable.’ Mark Ruffalo is on fire in this, an even bigger & wilder performance… pic.twitter.com/c10QgQCBXD

#Mickey17 is a perfect blend between Snowpiercer and Okja - another weird and highly original picture from master Bong joon-ho. Robert Pattinson solidifies again as one of our most interesting actors, Mark Ruffalo steals every scene, but Naomi Ackie is the real standout. Cinema! pic.twitter.com/yPo0ufH4qB

#Mickey17 is weird, twisted, and what I love about Bong Joon-Ho's work. Truly some of the most out there storytelling there is but it is a hard hitting look at colonization, consumerism, and more. Plus you can never have "too many" Robert Pattinsons pic.twitter.com/pa2AQG6Otx

Bong Joon-ho has crafted another masterpiece with #Mickey17, a deeply heartfelt and uncomfortably funny musing on capitalism, colonization, and corruption with a sublime cast. It’s a perfect film for our time, and Director Bong’s best English-language film yet. pic.twitter.com/5ZZLWU0Ori

#Mickey17 is a chaotically charismatic, thought-provoking cautionary tale. Pattinson gets truly lost in this role + Ruffalo steals every scene. I wish it was coated in more traditional darkness, less black comedy. Nonetheless, it left me w/ a new POV on humanity + morality. pic.twitter.com/fp81c2QEan

Director Bong Joon Ho follows up Parasite with the zany #Mickey17 - a thrilling, unexpected sci-fi drama which feels incredibly urgent to today’s world

You’ll instantly fall for Robert Pattinson’s brilliant performance, with Mark Ruffalo’s sleazy politician being a highlight too pic.twitter.com/XEqwb3jm1z
