Critics Consensus

It isn't without its fun moments, but Meg 2: The Trench suffers from a disjointed story that drifts for too long before finally delivering a few campy thrills.

Audience Says

Once it gets going, Meg 2: The Trench delivers most of what viewers are looking for in a creature feature.

Things might have felt more perilous with more finessed CGI.

What’s perhaps most damning about this big dumb shark movie, however, is how little it actually pays attention to its fine finned friends.

3/5

Meg 2: The Trench is a cesspool of several over the top ideas that unfortunately ends up feeling far shallower due to how overcrowded with themes it is.

Extinction was a kinder fate to Megalodon than this megalo-dung of a film.

Meg 2: The Trench is more meg, good, bad, and indifferently. Whether this franchise can sustain the swelling digital carnage remains to be seen, though as an exercise in creature feature excess The Trench delivers.

This movie worked the first time they did it because they didn’t feel the need to let you know that they knew it was silly. This go around, they leaned too hard into the cheese. I felt like it started well and then took a nose dive into a cornucopia of movie tropes that weren’t consistent with the genre. Was it like Jaws, Jurassic Park, Alien, the Abyss, or Tropic Thunder?!! Who the hell knows?!! It feels like they waited until two days before the script was due and pulled two all nighters to finish it.! I don’t normally trash movies but this one did a pretty good job of mocking itself. One star is generous.

Not quite as much fun as the original. The filmmakers don’t seem to be in in the joke as much this go-around. Thankfully, the 3rd act kicks things into outlandish creature feature fun. If only the rest of the movie followed suit.
