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

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.

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!

“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.

i didn’t like this movie. i mean the megalodon is cool and probably the only reason why i’m giving it one out of five stars but the rest of the movie is eh??

the acting was slightly horrible, the script was kind of badly written for me the humor was very dry and every single scene was predictable BUT miss sunyi is hot,, perhaps we’re stanning !!

i definitely don’t recommend anyone to watch it ://

comparing it to SHARKNADO (even it goes for a JAWS feel) I managed to finish it and it has STATHAM in it's favour (but the Chinese main girl and her kid are mega brutal), but Turteltaub is a director that would fit easily in the ASYLUM production team...

hdlsmfmsgn okay i really wasnt expecting to enjoy or even root for this group of one-dimensional characters as much as i did but dude this was so much fun fuck!!!!!

also that girls shoes were so cool......

Ok, this film barely deserves 3* but I feel what it does it does well, but the problem is what it doesn’t do or doesn’t do more of. The Meg is a wasted opportunity. 

I saw this in 4DX which was probably the best film I’ve seen in the format so it made a repeat viewing just as good as the first.

entertaining shark movie, that can't get passed the inherent self-seriousness of a sino-american production, preventing statham from really going full-statham and carrying this movie. the 3d wasn't jaw-dropping (pun intended) but it's well done, restraining itself to a few – and thus very effective – 3d tricks. interesting side note, it takes the time to say two or three things about sharks, oceans and humanity, with mentions of shark-finning, some scientific talk about maybe not killing this thing and a general mocking of all things human in the last act. not something you'd see in a 70's spielberg movie for example.

Not as bad as some claim to to be. There are some moments of excitement, but overall nothing outstanding.

The PG13 rating really hurts the overall scary factor, and the Megalodon seems to be too small and slow to be really menacing.
There are some likeable character, but they fail to be fleshed out, and some pacing issues that really drag the movie down.

Not the worse killer shark movie I have seen, but far from the best.
but still entertaining for a Saturday afternoon at the cinema.

Hell yeah more please. I hope The Meg 2 has The Rock with his minigun. OH they should cross over with Fast and Furious and fight giant sharks with underwater cars AW YEAH.

Too many producers and scriptwriters, little gore and mediocre level of trashiness. It aspires to be an Asian bootleg of Jurassic World more than a Piranha 3D exploitation, and that's bad, but it was funny at the end.

Demasiados productores y guionistas, poco gore y mediocre nivel de caspa. Aspira más a fake chino de Jurassic World que a exploit de Piraña 3D, y eso no mola, pero se pasa un buen rato al final.
