The Meg sets audiences up for a good old-fashioned B-movie creature feature, but lacks the genre thrills -- or the cheesy bite -- to make it worth diving in.

There's some corniness that's apart of this film, there are some cheesy lines, but Statham sells it all. March 21, 2019 | Full Review…

Asks little more of you than to strap in, put away your phone and enjoy watching a freakishly huge prehistoric eating machine terrorize some scientists before it turns its appetite to a beach full of frolickers on floaties. August 29, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

The one genuine shock is that it takes Statham as long as 44 minutes to remove his shirt and flash his pecs. August 20, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

If there's any sense of menace in The Meg, it lies in the prospect that many more such films may be on the way. All that said, I hope there are bigger opportunities in store for whoever edited the trailer. August 15, 2018 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

The film delivers on that silly-stupid-summer-fun promise, while also exceeding expectations in terms of action and set-pieces August 14, 2018 | Rating: 3/4

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time. August 13, 2018 | Full Review…

A giant shark dud. Hilariously bad. I actually enjoyed this movie because it was so horrible. The painful moments of Jason Statham (and I LOVE Statham) and the lead actress were uncomfortable, and I really cared less if anyone got eaten. August 22, 2019 | Rating: 3/10 | Full Review…

Director Jon Turteltaub reels you in with Bloody action and adventure for the first two thirds of this movie, but, after that, it gets pretty silly and sappy, including a romance, but not with the toothy Mega fish. August 16, 2019 | Full Review…

The Meg is fine when you're watching it, but you could easily keep one eye on the screen or bury your head in your popcorn and not miss much. August 2, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The superior acting skills and charisma of both Cliff Curtis and Winston Chao are woefully wasted. July 24, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…
