This is a B-grade goofy popcorn flick that's C-grade level of entertaining.

While this prehistoric monster movie never goes really deep, it's still a lot of fun with spot-on casting, tense moments and character to root for. Sure, it is essentially a summer popcorn flick, but it is one of the better ones and has a nice mix of action, humor and horror. I'm certain this is going to be continued and if subsequent films are as entertaining as this one, I am all full them.

The Meg is a damn shame. What could have been a fun, bloody thrill ride with amazing scares and human-vs-shark action is instead a film that is, surprisingly, painfully boring. Statham is entertaining and that's all the film really has going for it. It's completely devoid of any tension, the body count is ridiculously low, and the PG-13 rating strips it from what could have made it more fun. Maybe Eli Roth should have made it. Imagine that beach sequence with Roth calling the shots...

It's Jason Statham versus a giant shark that can sink ships and eat whales. Either you're onboard or abandoning ship. Great CGI, creative action scenes, and having a good sense of humor makes THE MEG a fun summer romp.

I went into the theater expecting something on the level of Deep Blue Sea, but this movie turned out to be better than it had any right to be. A fun popcorn flick that pays homage to Jaws but with its own intriguing, though scientifically untenable, premise.
