Diagonaldi Very well executed

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

gerald-676-783504 When The Meg was annouced in the cinema release, I thought: I know this one!It was Megalodon for the year 2002Good entertainment, if you are shark fan.

redhead9898 Okay, 'Megalodon' is better then other films about other films such as 'Shark attack 3: Megalodon' and 'Shark Hunter'.It opens up with a newscast where Maria Barrera is doing a report about shark attack and and oil stuff. With interviews from the head of it 'Peter Brazier' and 'Robert Amstrong' she ends up saying reporter 'christen Giddings' will be there for a week. The crew gets eaten to. The cgi and sound is great! I l o v e this m o v i-e it does not s u c k you h e a r that????? It i s a g r e a t s h a r k a t t a ck m o vi e! Watch it! I hope you will enjoy it as much as i did. It will be better then most shark attack films you will ever see. It goes next to Deep blue sea and shark attack 2!

Cedric Sagne If you were tempted to buy this on DVD, or pay for your seat, tough luck. Borrowed it from my local library and obviously this does not go anywhere near the now-cheesy-but-still-a-classic JAWS or the ABYSS from which it borrows.Why did I give 1 to "Narnia" and 2 to this? For the skill in making something terrible in both cases with: 1- loads of money and a worldwide manipulation campaign 2- no money and no marketing gurus behind.This is still something that does not deserve to be watched twice, maybe not even once. CGI is still something you would be proud of if you got it out of your own computer. If anything, this film illustrates the concept of George Lucas who claims that CGI and digital cinema will bring filming within the reach of new talents. These were not the ones he referred to, as the script, the actors, the special effects remain terrible (by today's standards... check King Kong 1933 and enjoy), but some classics were made on a shoestring and we saw worse stuff done by great actors and directors.It is no wonder this is as cheesy as it gets, but the Academy of Cinema also has its bad students.

M. T. From the DVD cover itself, I wasn't expecting much, but I rented this movie anyway because I love the general subject matter (monsters, sharfks, etc). The first thing I was impressed with was the CGI of the drilling platform and helicopter, and from there the acting. Considering some of the crap I have rented in my life I found this acting was not poor because of the actor's talent, rather because of what was (in places) a poorly written script. And on that note, wasn't htis the same plot as Deep Star Six (a superior, similar film)? What about Leviathan too? ANyway, this point aside, the acting and the CGI were acceptable (suprisingly). The pacing was good until about an hour in, when I relaized the shark hadn't yet made an appearance! When it did, I closed my eyes, expecting Deep Blue Sea-type crap cgi, but the shark was done pretty well. From there, however, things went downhill. The characters did not act as I might imagine people would act trapped in an elevator beneath the ocean with a giant shark amongst them; the method by which the shark was destroyed made no sense (was not explained); the scene on the ice flow when the shark attacks the minisub was poor cgi. Backtracking a moment -- what happened when the shark was destroyed? The minisub vanished! I laughed out loud at that point.ANyway, all in all for four bucks and expecting crap I was mildly surprised by the entertainment value of this movie. I love that there are still producers etc., making these types of movies and story lines. My humble, final constructive criticism: TAKE YOUR TIME and watch the final version before shovelling it out the door. A FEW touch-ups to the CGI, a few inserted scene to clarify things, and this would have been a pretty good Saturday afternoon monster movie. How about some personality for the shark, too -- Jaws had personality.See it, but only for the fun of the storyline. Some better, similar flicks include, Deep Star Six and Leviathan.
