This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

I burst into tears once the film ends on “Fin”

Basically a 150 million dollar syfy movie.
Review by matt lynch ★★★ 8

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.
Review by Lucy ★★★

“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

The Life Aquatic with Jason Statham.
Review by Matt Singer ★★★ 2

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.)

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 saw this movie with my friends in an empty theater. I don’t mean there was like two or three people there besides us. No. It was empty. If this wasn’t the case this movie might have a lower rating
Review by Jacob J De la Cruz ★★

Did you know there are 184 Shark man-eating movies according to IMBD? That demonstrates the profound impact that the movie Jaws has had on the genre. At the same token, it is also the curse of its impact for all the laughable rip-offs it has created. Where does The Meg lands? Because of the film’s budget, I would consider it a polished B-movie that is superior to the Sharknado’s series. There are truly two objectives that fans are looking for within this genre. One, the monster has to be realistically terrifying. Two, it has to deliver the thrills. At times, based on the aesthetics and magnitude of the design, the shark looked fake. However, even though I am no marine…

If you smoke enough weed and stay awake to the end when Jason Statham goes head on with the shark, you’ll have an okay time. For a better time watch Deep Blue Sea.
Review by ems ★★½

how'd they make a movie about the biggest shark ever and make it boring.. idk but at least the dog didn't die

"we're gonna need a bigger shark."
fin.
Review by Nick ★★★½

I'm a sucker for shark movies. This one has the biggest shark so I think that means it's the best one. It doesn't sell itself as more than it is and is hilariously entertaining
Review by admiralbeamish ★★★½

The only think this movie is missing is Jason Statham just punching the shark. It isn't my favorite shark flick but it was generic enough to make a fan out of me.
Review by Mr_Bamason ★★

How the fuck does a CGI shark look so dated 2 years after its release, yet the effects from jaws look great to this day?? What happened???
Review by David Hubbs ★★★

If the producers didn't try to hammer in such shitty plot development this film would be better. No joke, if it was just Jason Stathom making puns while hunting a big ass shark this film would be 5/5
