Bong succeeded in adaptingMickey 17,at least in terms of ratings.
The movie has earned a Certified Fresh 77% critics score and a 73% audience score.
For newcomers,Mickey 17presents a hilarious scif-fi world that perfectly toes the line between real danger and whimsy.
He is constantly put into terrifying and painful situations, all of which result in his death.
He has very little respect from his peers, aside from Nasha.
For most of the movie,Pattinson portrays Mickey 17 and 18.
Mickey 17offers glimpses at previous versions of Mickey.
We see him being injected with a deadly virus and dying in a transparent pod.
They just seem like Mickey, rather than a unique iteration of him.
Mickey 17is Bong Joon Ho’s first movie since his 2019 hit,Parasite.
Thus, Bong’s decision seems arbitrary.
As of now, those other Mickeys are nothing more than an idea in audiences' heads.
Perhaps Pattinson’s next roles can make up for whatMickey 17lacked.
