Delivers the experience it promised, as Jason Statham taking on a 75-foot prehistoric shark turns out to be a fun formula…go figure. Read more

A B-movie with a budget, somewhere inbetween a credible shark thriller and an utterly ridiculous ‘so bad it’s good’ creature feature but Statham sells it at every stroke... Read more

A fun action-adventure romp that will scratch your itch if you need one last (non-superhero) blockbuster... Read more

An entertaining underwater monster movie and summer thrill ride that wholeheartedly embraces its inherent cheesiness without overdoing it. Read more

The Meg is at its best when it acknowledges how silly it really is and plays up to the clichés of the genre. It boasts a handful of gags that made me laugh out loud and a final irresistible Dad joke coda tells you everyone involved has their tongues planted firmly in their cheeks. As milque toast as the filmmaking here is, I'll take this over mopey men in tights every day. Read more

A curiously bloodless concoction, presumably to guarantee it’s 12A certificate. Read more

A perfect movie to watch with your friends who just want to rip on a movie that takes itself way too seriously. Read more

Nothing is built up to the point where we genuinely care about what’s going on, we’re only left to admire The Meg for its bells and whistles. Read more

A mildly entertaining summer shark movie that borderlines on generic as Jason Statham leads this almost bloodless creature feature with his usual wit and charms.

Nothing more than an utterly forgettable immature shark film. Read more

Just get ready for two hours of shallow and unfulfilling enjoyment and try not to feel guilty about it later. Read more

A bit lame for a movie about a giant 90 foot shark.

The film has moments of promise that are quickly snuffed out by exposition that’s neither needed, wanted or interesting. Read more

A wasted premise, saved only intermittently by Statham, who has to carry a lacklustre cast on his back as well as the 75-foot shark. Read more

The humor isn’t funny, and, when it comes down to it, the film wants to be Jaws. Read more

Met mooie visuele en make-up effecten weten de makers een mooie spektakel op het zilveren scherm te toveren.

M’n verwachting van deze titel was een leuke B-film en dat is precies wat deze film is. Read more

Actie en spektakel verzekerd en entertainend genoeg om het publiek te onderhouden, zolang er niet te veel gefocust wordt op de menselijke gevoelens. Read more

Neemt zichzelf iets te serieus en lijdt helaas aan bloedarmoede. Read more

Een amusante B-film, maar waarschijnlijk had The Meg beter gewerkt als een horrorkomedie in de traditie van Piranha 3D. Read more

Niet echt de domme zomerpret die het concept 'Jason Statham vs megahaai' belooft. Het blijft bij acceptabel amusement... Read more

Helaas niet de beloofde fijne pulpfilm, vooral omdat de film zichzelf te serieus om zich dat label op te kunnen spelden. De film kent dan ook veel te weinig actie waarmee vooral valt te concluderen dat er bijster weinig gedaan is met de meterslange haai en het vrij forse budget... Read more

Biedt weinig meer dan een goedkoop verhaal in een duur jasje. Read more
