Watching gave me a hard "no" on this series. I gave it five stars for the dialogue and Sylvester Stallone, but the stars drop drastically for all the other parts.
I watched because I love mob movies and shows and have always been a fan of Sylvester and Taylor. Unfortunately, what could have been a classic fish out of water starting from scratch story turned out to be a mess. Not a hot mess, just a mess. I get that he doesn't know how much the world has changed, but to get him to roll over on a medical marijuana store? I spent that whole scene wondering if it was a big joke. Yes, even when he came back.
Don't get me started on the ageism. She'll sleep with him when she thought he was a mid-fifties, but practically throwing up in her mouth a little to find out he's 75? Really, Taylor? Was the sex really bad then so we'll blame that on his age?
I usually know right from the first episode if a show is worth continuing and this one screams "run away, run away fast" to me rather than watching a second episode.

I thought about it for a few moments and, no, I can't say one good thing about this movie.
Bad acting? check! Over acting? check! Bad CGI? check! Bad sets? check! Bad plot? check! Bad music? check!
Did I miss anything? The only believable solders were the Russian Ivanhof and American Jameson. Michael Madsen and Dominic Pace are ridiculously out of shape and scruffy-looking and as the Admiral and Captain, they should be the best of the best!
After watching The Meg several times now, Megalodon belongs in the bottom drawer. Nothing in it compares. Don't waste your time; you can't get it back!
