PremiumMeg 2 The Trench Twitter review: Netizens say Jason Statham’s movie oscillates between amazing and ridiculous

In 2018, when The Meg released, audiences and critics had mixed opinions about the Jason Statham led pre-hist oric shark movie. Nevertheless, the film, which was made at a tad over 100 million dollars, raked in five times that with USD 530 million world-wide collections. This, of course, meant that a sequel would be on the cards at some point, and that film, Meg 2: The Trench , opened in theatres across the world today (August 4). The central attraction of the film are still the apex predators, but this time around, there are also other deep-sea monsters vying for a piece of the meat (literally).
Like last time, audiences are yet again divided about the film. There’s a lot of love coming from fans of the genre, but some seem to be disappointed. Here’s a look at some of the comments.

Meg 2: The Trench is a film that embraces its absurdity from the get go. Lots of fun to be had. Bigger is better is the mojo and the film rocks with it. Loved the nods to Jurassic Park and shark films. Plenty of ways to introduce creatures into Altens world! #meg2thetrench
I love Ben Wheatley so I really wanted #Meg2 to be good but... Oh my god it is fricking amazing and insanely stressful and so loud my seat was shaking and stath kicks loads of things in the face.
Good First Half Followed by Very Good Second Half. Last Half an Hour 🔥
The last 45 minutes of #Meg2 is worth the price of admission. It's ridiculous, action packed, self-aware insanity that is the definition of mindless popcorn entertainment!
#Meg2 was a huge let down! From someone who liked the first one, this one had an identity crisis. Felt like I was watching 4 different movies in one, Jonas has become just like Dom!
Some things are better left dead. #Meg2 simply misses the mark in replicating what made its predecessor a surprise success half a decade ago
