मेग 2

Personally, I was surprised that Jason Statham decided to make a sequel to the Meg. Most likely because I did not think the Meg was his type of movie. Not exactly Crank on water or anything. The film is an obvious cash cow but worth the money. No need to put any thought into how stupid this movie its cause it's met to be the opposite of smart. Its entertaining as hell and does not slow down long enough for me to point out the plot holes and the science mistakes. A perfect Tie-in to Shark Week. I went into this baby knowing that I was going to like it and I came out loving every minute of it. It's not met to be Shakespeare but it's definitely a fun experience.

A bunch of separate script scenarios thrown together. Editing is terrible. Characters you dont know anything about due to no introduction and without explanation. Plot holes. The story doesnt evolve seamlessly. And what happened to shark carnage? I love jason statham movies. A d i love shark movies. But its just more of JS usual movie types that this time just wasnt that good. The underwater scenes were getting good but its like they just didnt know what to do with it. While there was some fun to it i dont think it was worth the money spent at a theatre. Wait for it to come out on streaming. Sorry.

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.

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.

Clearly Jason Statham just did this movie for the money. The story is ridiculously bad, I mean seriously bad! Statham is like a constipated statue the whole time. The CGI is cheap nasty and completely unrealistic. The only saving grace that is fantastic & I mean FANTASTIC is when the credits rolled. This movie is everything that is wrong with Hollywood, regurgitating stories and using bad actors, bad producers & bad CGI. Would anyone in Hollywood ever stop this idiocy forever. Don't go see the Meg it's awful. Not one bit entertaining, it was made as a money magnet but I for one don't see the pull of it. Avoid it, it's a waste of time and money.
