Meg 2 - Die Tiefe

Meg 2: The Trench is like all those late entries to the Jurassic Park franchise: lifeless, soulless, mindless, dumb, generic. There is no excitement or suspense, no characters one can relate too (at least I couldn't), and compared to fine "shark movies" like Jaws, Deep Blue Sea, Open Water or The Shallows, this one is not B-league but C-league, despite some production value. Also, some well done CGI is no news anymore for quite some time and not very entertaining if the rest of the movies is just crap. I really would prefer to put some of those good old Godzilla themed movies of the 50s and 60s back on my screen (and have some fun) instead of watching this, well, void of boredom ever again. I really like some of the movies starring Jason Statham, but as I don't watch (and like) Fast & Furios movies (the last one I watched was the third entry) the last really good one I can remember was that little movie Homefront, a movie made 10 years ago - simply put, I would prefer to get more class and less mass.

So I can get the words to describe such an amazing story created by a boy or girl from an elementary school!!!

Bravo !!! Yeaaayyyyy amazing!!

Go and see I recommend!!!!

I don't want to see this movie alone !

I give a 4 star become of the effort of the team who work in this movie The special effects and the rendering, the actors and actress get 2 stars and the best of the best is the history behind this movie!

I see the movie until the end and I have to say that in 1980 shark movies put a very nice sound effects .... Keep moving forward??? No please do not make any other movie like this pleaseeee !!!

Don't believe these fake reviews by probably paid, semi-professional writers who say the movie is good. This movie was one big bore with no thought at all put into it. It's just a quick cash grab rebounding off the first one. You'll have more entertainment watching paint dry. I myself have more enjoyment spoon feeding my disabled, hunchbacked cousin pudding. The shark in Sharknado looks more realistic than this creation made by some CGI intern at the local community college. No cares about quality content anymore and it's sad for the avid film goer...This is an unbiased review from a real person who loves movies.

The first impression of The Meg 2: The Trench (2023) is that this was hard to watch. There were dumbfounded scenes that did not make any sense led by decision making. The kills were not that good especially since it is a PG-13 movie. The only parts that I liked are Jason Statham and his great acting and the antagonists getting killed off. Other than that, I was ready to leave the theater. It really questioned me on how does the protagonists keep on surviving after questionable events. I honestly liked the first one better because it was not that bad of a shark movie. The sequel, however, just made it worse. I am surprised that this film was allowed to make it in Dolby Cinema since it only allows good or great movies in the auditorium. Overall, The Meg 2: The Trench is pretty bad with its scenes and kills. I would recommend to stay away from this movie.

I have no problem with 'brainless' action / monster movies, as long as they are done right. The first Meg was a decent enough bit of entertainment. The sequel is a very pale immitation.

There are is a pointless eco=polution sub-plot that I assume are included to pad out the story. They add nothing to the story, plus they are really badly done with obvious villains who are revealed too early and have very predictable deaths.

As other reviews have pointed out, what little Meg action there is takes place in darkness with average cgi. The acting is phoned in by most of the cast.

The movie kicks into overdrive in the last act, where all hell breaks loose and we get a series of multi-monster / bad-guy action scenes. Even here, all logic goes out the window.

It also doesn't help that this was made before the events of the Titan submersible disaster and anyone watching this will have a passing knowledge of the effects of incredibly deep submersion on the human body, so the entire underwater action in the first half is ridiculously stupid.

This just isn't silly enough to make it worth a few hours of your time.
