Mégalodon

This movie was similar to Jaws apart from the under-sea action. The megaladon was actually very realistic n the cgi was amazing.

The actors did a great job with their characters n were all likeable.

There were some tense moments n a little bit of suspense but overall it was a straight up film.

The cinematography was brilliant.

Everything was pretty much predictable n the ending was too.

I recommend this movie if you like creature features, action n suspense.

Look, this movie wasn't bad... but it wasn't great either... Everything that comes with a shark movie was here. A cheesy storyline that bounced around a lot, and some great action sequences wth the shark. Jason Statham was the same as he usually is, stone faced and serious. Rainn Wilson did a great job with his part. But other than that, nothing really sticks out.

16 reviews, and half are all a fake high-rated single review of this film - makes me shake my head why the producers think their viewers are dumb and wont see thru the fakes. All it takes is one click to see the only single review from the poster. Don't get me started on the moronic review from halil-92019: "Playing computer games makes kids smarter?"

This film had it's moments, but it was nothing spectacular. The best parts were the cinematography, visuals and directing. The story itself has been done so many times, making the shark prehistoric doesn't add anything to the imagination. The writers needed to up this a few levels and not rely on Statham (who was great as always) to bring in the moviegoers into the theater. The 103 min length felt a little long, but the pacing good enough to keep you interested, although it was missing that constant extra thrill and suspense I expected. Instead, I cringed at the cheesy 1 liners and poor attempt at humor - most executed at the wrong time.

It's an honest deserving score of only 6/10 from me.

Do I wish it were better? Of course.

Could it be worse? Definitely.

Am I annoyed Ruby Rose is in it? Always.

Considering that all shark movies are disappointing cheap thrills compared to the pure rush of Jaws, fans have to take what we can get. This is definitely more in the vein of silly big budget fun like Deep Blue Sea, but with a lighter comedic touch, and of course a bigger shark.

Since I was a kid I've wanted to see a tiny submersible being chased by a megalodon, and this movie has that, so I'm happy.

Granted, The Meg is dumb. Jason Statham takes on a giant shark from below what scientists thought was the bottom of the Marianas Trench. You know how it's going to end because Jason Statham doesn't ever lose. Even when faced with one or more enormous sharks

Great special effects cover for some sketchy acting - not that anyone watches these sorts of movies for acting - and some of the expected action movie tropes (like my personal favourite: someone getting killed gloating about their victory after they think the threat is over) in what is a fun film if you like giant creature movies and Jason Statham. One of those movies to not over-think.

Definitely not a masterpiece, but definitely enjoyable.
