The first movie (The Meg) wasn’t great, but it was surprisingly enjoyable. My wife wanted to watch Meg 2 with me, so I rewatched The Meg with her the night before the sequel’s release. The Meg doesn’t try to be something it’s not. They just have fun with the concept and go over the top enough to make it fun.
This movie, not so much.

The plot and most of the characters are based on bad clichés. To give it a little credit, there are a few cool scenes that are fresh and unintentionally poignant after the recent Titanic sub-disaster.
The end of the movie action is almost cartoonish in it’s action and character stupidity. It’s like the writers had ideas for action scenes and made them happen no matter how unlikely it is that a real person would behave as they wrote. And some of the action scenes were so over the top as to be comical. I can only imagine that they intended it that way, but in m y opinion it just turned into a farce.
Obviously, this isn’t a movie that warrants a lot of deep thought. I think they could have made a much better movie if they didn’t try to make Jason Statham the hero at every opportunity.
Grade: D+
About The Peetimes: I have three Peetimes. They’re all pretty good and avoid any of the good action scenes. I would recommend the 2nd Peetime as the best, but there’s not a huge difference in any of the others.
There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Meg 2: The Trench.

about the RunPee app.

RunPee is one of my favourite apps. No more googling a film before you see it and risking spoilers, this app has everything you need to know, not just the best time to go to the toilet. Dan, the developer, also offers an amazing customer service experience. I recently switched phones, and Dan was very generous in sorting things out with me as I moved over to my current system. If you’re an avid film watcher, this is the app for you!
