This person is the kind of person that would keep wishing on a monkey paw. The rest of Niell Blomkamp’s movies have been not great, and a sequel would probably be so bad to make the original worse.
In comparison to District 9, Chappie was pretty awful. I was VERY excited for it but left disappointed. It was so campy and…unrealistic? That sounds stupid to say in the same breath as praise for District 9 but I don’t mean the settings, I mean the stories. The character writing and plot were just not great.

What the FUCK did you just say about Chappie???
Chappie was bad, and I say that as a Die Antwoord enjoyer.
I hate Die Antwoord, but Chappie is a good boy and shouldn’t be lumped in with them!

Unfortunately, Bloomkamp is one of those good directors that mistakenly think they are also good writers (See also: Zack Snyder, M. Knight Shyamalan).
Jesus you are so right about those last two.
yeah, a dude “figuring out” complete AI in a single night of hardcore coding was super weird
He just needs a good writer by his side to keep him in check and reign him in.
Not great doesn’t mean bad. I had fun with Gran Turismo
