The Meg Reviews
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
The film delivers on that silly-stupid-summer-fun promise, while also exceeding expectations in terms of action and set-pieces
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
Maybe director John Turteltaub thought the barrage of pathos and yuks would distract from the fact that his star is a very big fish that is not very bright. Still: cool shark, bro.
Observer
Oliver Jones
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.
What the Flick?!
Christy Lemire
I wanted this movie to be wackier, crazier, and over the top, the problem is that it's PG13.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
People are going to see this movie to watch the actor essentially punch a gigantic prehistoric shark in the face and on that front I'm hard-pressed to claim I was ever disappointed.
Chesapeake Family Magazine
Roxana Hadadi
The Meg is one of the summer's most fun, most mindless blockbusters, a shark vs. human movie that doesn't stand up to close scrutiny but is enjoyably dumb.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
To call the film "derivative" isn't pejorative; it's kind of the point.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Director Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure) strikes an agreeable tone, avoiding both unnecessary heaviness and self-aware camp.
What the Flick?!
Tim Cogshell
It would've benefitted by being more dumb.
The Ringer
Adam Nayman
Everything in The Meg looks fake, from the New Zealand-as-coastal-China backdrop to the massive underwater research center to the actors themselves, none of whom have been costumed or photographed with any sharpness.
Newsweek
Andrew Whalen
The Meg is oddly charming, more pulp than cheese, like the sci-fi pumped out in the 1950s.
Paste Magazine
Tim Grierson
The Meg is junk made with just enough conviction and craft to convince you that it's better than it is -- or, at the very least, better than it needs to be. But don't let lowered expectations overcome your faculties.
NPR
Chris Klimek
Of all the thrillers made about tender, juicy humans splashing away from ravenous giant sharks, The Meg is undeniably the most recent.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Emily Yoshida
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters when it could be spending it with, you know, the giant shark.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Jason Statham takes on a giant shark in "The Meg," a fun-dumb splash of summer popcorn entertainment that manages to be more fun than dumb.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Yes, the CGI Meg is reasonably horrifying, but then so was Charlie the Tuna and, come to think of it, Flipper...The Meg is simply mediocre, PG-13 monster-moviemaking at its mind-numbing kinda/sorta best-ish.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Tons of first-class stunt work and digital effects, and dialogue disposable enough it won't matter if it translates well.
Film School Rejects
Tomris Laffly
This poorly sketched shark flick should have been bolder, cornier, and bloodier.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
Turteltaub is better at the scenes of conceiving cockamamie plans than at the unleashing of cockamamie-ness. He only occasionally suggests the mystery and majesty of his monster and exhibits little feel for suspense.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
A lot is obvious here, in fact, including a couple of twists...You're there for the action, and there's a lot of it. It's OK, and there are some scares and some silliness and some sadness doled out along the way.
