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.

Observer

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

Rated: 2/4

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

Rated: 1/5

Dread Central

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.

Rated: 3/5

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.

Not as fun as the first one but overall not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Nothing new here but what else can you expect from a movie about a large type shark
