Riepilogo
Reviewers say 'The Meg' is an effects-driven shark movie with mixed reception. Positive reviews commend the impressive CGI, thrilling action, and Jason Statham's performance. Fans enjoy the fun, campy elements and self-awareness. However, criticisms target the weak storyline, bland characters, and uneven acting. Some find the dialogue corny and the plot predictable. Despite these flaws, many view it as an enjoyable popcorn flick. The film's humor, tension, and immersive 4DX experience enhance its appeal for certain viewers.

When i watch something, i don't say hmmmm why did this happen oh that doesn't make sense! I watch the movie! I look at entertainment! It was entertaining. It is good for people like me. If you like shark movies or thrillers with action! It was good people!!
But wow, did the studio ever screw this one up! I've been waiting YEARS for the movie, I'm one of the first to get the newest book in the series and this had SO MUCH POTENTIAL! Between what I think was intended to be a family friendly edited version of the film to the absolute horrible marketing campaign, what were they thinking!?! Why would you preemptively turn away half your potential audience by taking a comical route with the trailers? It's meant to be a THRILLER not Sharknado. Why would you not give us terrifying scenes of being eaten/swallowed/pulled under, it's a SHARK movie, genre equals HORROR. I was so wanting to love this movie and hopeful it would turn into a franchise but with the direction the studio chose to go with it, they sank Meg before she even had a chance breach the waters. SO VERY DISAPPOINTED.
I fairly enjoy this although I'd say Jon Turtletaub films have been better I don't get why this was basically launched into a black hole and chewed out into another dimension, I have fun. Maybe Meg 2 will do better at least critically. The Meg is plenty entertaining at least enough for a decent rating maybe you could say Jason Statham has been in better but at least he's a professional swimmer that I appreciate anything done by the actor for sure! I love Rainn Wilson he's awesome in anything he's been in even when he's a numb skull that makes ridiculous mistakes. I do notice the dialogue is a bit of a mess that's probably part of the hate but I enjoy The Meg for what it is, pretty good entertainment that you can have a nice treat with!
I will be upfront with anyone who hasn't watched this yet. Mindset-wise if you go in thinking more along the lines of Deep Blue Sea rather than JAWS you'll probably have a good time. If you want serious, deep storylines and Oscar-caliber performances you probably should avoid it because this isn't it. Also on that note, why the hell would you go see this movie in the first place if you want that?
This movie is just stupid fun with tons of funny moments. The comedy aspect of it actually caught me off guard. I expected a few funny moments here and there like most films of this ilk, but this is just straight up funny throughout. There are plenty of grandiose action sequences. A character you just flat out hate because he's such an atypical ass-hat and some beautiful CGI. The film itself is very well shot and I even had a hard time telling whether the FXs were practical or CGI in spots. They blended stuff together well. I thought the acting was solid for what this film is. It's about what I expected.
Like anything, there were a few things here and there that could have been better. But, none of those things were enough to hinder my enjoyment of it. I personally would have liked to see it be a tad bit gorier. I think that might have pushed this up a notch especially with the type of story this. On the other hand, that's more of a preference than an actual hindrance type thing.
This was exactly what I wanted out of a Summer Blockbuster style film. It's a fun theater-going experience. It's the type of movie you want to see on the big screen with a great sound system. What I would consider a perfect popcorn flick.
My Rating: 7/10

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.

- QuizIn real life, Jason Statham is extremely comfortable in the water. He was a competitive diver, competing in Olympic trials in 1985 and representing England in the 1990 Commonwealth Games.
- BlooperOwing to the general lack of sunlight at deeper sea levels, the Meg should realistically not be able to see at all as it surfaces, since the greater volume of light up there is much more overwhelming than what it's been accustomed to for millions of years. The book gets this right and has the important reoccurring plot-point that the Meg only surfaces at night because the sunlight hurts its eyes.
