The Meg was… toothless.
A shark movie with no bite. A flick that's too slick to stand on its own. The effects look solid and it's nice to see this type of movie getting an actual budget, but there's just not a lot here to get excited about, why is this movie PG-13? Gruesome death is a staple of this genre, the formulaic plot and characters are forgettable but serviceable for what the movie is trying to achieve. What really holds this film back is a tone that is playful, but never quite on the right side of wacky to really find its audience. Overall it feels like a bit of a missed opportunity.
5/10 Shark weak.
