“that thing is the devil!”
an extra half star because my friends were scared to death and jumping out of their seats every time the biggest shark in known existence somehow snuck up on everyone without being noticed. which happened a lot. she’s sneaky

Has a big giant shark that eats someone at least every 15 minutes. Self aware and gleefully stupid without a bunch of winking. Pretty much does exactly what it's supposed to.

I have literally been waterboarded before, and that was a far more pleasant experience than watching this “movie”.

I love a dumb movie. But everything about this movie felt so... uncharmingly dumb? So plastic and poorly made, like a high-budget TV movie made 14 years too late.
Everyone was having a terrific time through the trailers, and then the room fell embarrassingly silent through the beginning in a way that really hit home how little I wanted to be there. So I left about 15-20 minutes in. Oh well. Not for me!

I love the shark. She's beautiful. I will name her Meghan with an 'h' and find her a water planet where she can swim eternally and happily and no one can hurt her. She will have periodic food-breaks where I teleport people I vehemently despise into the depths of the water with nothing but a life preserver and a copy of Jaws in their hands as a sacrificial totem. Meghan will be pleased as she gobbles.
Keep the movie.

The first half of The Meg ain’t great. Too much time is wasted on the characters, their connections, and the nitty gritty of ocean-floor rescue operations. Then The Meg returns to the surface, and its title character attacks Jason Statham and his chums (please clap) at their high-tech ocean laboratory. Suddenly the film blossoms into an endearingly silly slasher movie, complete with ludicrous jump scares. (As it turns out, the biggest shark that ever lived is surprisingly good at silently sneaking up on its prey.)

Guys, this is my Infinity War, I'll probably see this thing 11 or 12 times in theaters. An ode to B-movies, shark movies, and action movies of yesteryear. It's really fucking dumb and I wouldn't want it any other way. Dark waters are scary, and somehow this movie manages to hit jokes, and dread perfectly. Uses real 3D shit flying at the screen moments, and I couldn't stop smiling.

Why can’t all sharks be as nice as Bruce from Finding Nemo? Ever heard of ‘fish are friends, not food’??
