I’m not going to claim this is a fantastic movie, I’m only saying it isn’t as bad as the title would suggest. Because with a name like ‘iBoy’ I would expect it to be much worse.

It’s about a teenager who gets shot in the head while using his cellphone. The bullet lodges cellphone shrapnel into his brain and gives him magical control over all electronics. So he becomes a vigilante to stop the local gangs.

So yes, while you do have to shut off your brain and suspend all disbelief, ‘iBoy’ is such a stupid title I would’ve thought it’d be an even dumber movie. Plus, I liked the augmented reality visuals when he used his powers.

The movie is on Netflix, so you can go watch it right now!

    I watched this a while ago just because it had Maisie.

    I agree. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Also, if I remember right, it has rape, so if you get triggered by that, I would avoid.
