“As a Ben Wheatley stan, Meg 2: The Trench breaks my heart. Too many things going on, not enough Meg action. The majority of Meg action is in the last 20-25 minutes. This film shouldu0026#39;ve been called u0026quot;Creatures of The Trenchu0026quot;, instead. This reminds me of my experience with Jurassic World Dominion where the giant locusts and the humans take center stage. I just want more Megs, goddamnit.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJason Statham is on autopilot Jason Statham and the supporting actors donu0026#39;t help much either. The performances range from downright poor to unconvincing to okay-ish. The saving grace of this film is its CGI creatures and Statham vs. Meg Part 2. The Statham and Megs showdown isnu0026#39;t even that exciting, to be honest.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story is painfully generic and super predictable. Of course, I knew what I got myself into. I enjoyed the first Meg! Iu0026#39;m okay with generic or predictable, but at least make it thrilling and fun! This isnu0026#39;t the Ben Wheatley I know. The worst thing any film could do to me is to leave me emotionally detached. Itu0026#39;s better to feel hate – at least I felt something. With Meg 2: The Trench, I felt almost nothing.”
