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...
