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.

i don't get the rude reviews
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!!
The Meg was meh
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.

I'm not sure why I didn't review sooner
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!
It's everything you would guess
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.
Meg not meh.
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.

Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesIn 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.
- GaffesOwing 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.
