The Meg 2: The Trench

"Meg 2 is burdened with an actual plot. And that's the last thing it needs."

"Hook, line and stinker."

"The plot is frustratingly complicated when mindless carnage is really the selling point."

"A Jason Statham giant shark battle shouldn’t be this boring."

"Ridiculous."

"More sharks, less bite."

"Bigger, sillier, and better."

"Nonstop B-movie spectacle."

"Wheatley mostly phones it in here, and he does so with a rotary landline."

"Somebody needs to remember these things are supposed to be fun."

"Plain awful."

"Greatly improves upon its predecessor by getting gorier, funnier and more stylish."

"D-minus for clarity."

"More megs, less fun."

"Battles a waterlogged script with playful pulpiness, delivering solid summer fin. Sorry, fun."

"Busy but flavourless."

"Boring."

"Recreates the lowlights of Eighties straight-to-video action hokum."

"While it repeats everything the first film did wrong, it improves on everything it did right."
