Meg 2: The Trench 2023
The final 20 minutes are the only real saving grace. Lo and behold, it just happens to be when the sharks take centre stage.

As I ventured into Barbieland, I wondered what would happen if this film stank? And thankfully, it didn’t; in fact, it was the complete opposite. The film’s excellence matched its hype and will proceed to make Greta Gerwig one of the hottest tickets in Hollywood.
