As a staunch shark movie fan, Meg 2: The Trench was one of the new movies released in 2023 that I expected to enjoy when I sat down to watch it. But where the first film was an enjoyable, silly summer action flick, this creature feature follow-up gets progressively bigger and badder across its two-hour runtime.
Meg 2: The Trench attempts to up the ante from the franchise’s first entry. Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) and his surviving colleagues and the new head of China’s Oceanic Institute, Jiuming (Jing Wu), end up facing an additional foe as three megs hit the water this time around.
