Meg 2 is not a film most would expect to be good.
The CGI is terrible, worse than some films that came out 30 years ago, and the acting is average at best.
As for the story, it was all over the place. The film felt like it went on a little longer than it should have, and it takes a while before it even gets going. Not to mention how silly it gets, even bringing dinosaurs and giant squids into the mayhem, as if three megalodons weren't enough.
It also lacks real terror, and it plays it too safe, as only supporting characters and villains end up being killed.
However, even with all its faults, it wasn't all bad. It had its entertaining moments, and if you're a fan of Jason Statham, or B movie shark flicks in general, this should be enough to satisfy you for one night.
5/10 - Mediocre.
