The Meg 2018

"Meg versus man isn't a fight... it's a slaughter."

The Meg has some of that B-movie goodness in it's DNA but it doesn't always fully commit to it. It takes itself too seriously and there's not enough comedy and one-liners. Dialogue fits the B-movie format but it's so serious you just end up laughing at it. Everything mentionned is felt a lot in the first half, it's really a drag but the second half is more commited to doing something fun. So much fun, cool shark action sequences and good effects that I had totally forgotten the aforementioned criticisms. It's guilty pleasure and I like flashy objects. There's way too many generic characters and it's criminal how many of them get to live. Needed more kills.

For the sequel I want them to go crazy with it, be ridiculous all the way. More comedy and one-liners.
