‘Meg 2: The Trench’ Review – Ben Wheatley Packs Sequel to the Gills with Nonstop B-Movie Spectacle

The biggest complaint about 2018’s The Meg, an American and Chinese co-production loosely based on author Steve Alten’s novel, was that it lacked bite. The PG-13 action vehicle for Jason Statham brought the B-movie sense of fun, but it was too restrained regarding the megalodon carnage. Meg 2: The Trench answers the first film’s criticisms, though not in the way […] The post ‘Meg 2: The Trench’ Review – Ben Wheatley Packs Sequel to the Gills with Nonstop B-Movie Spectacle appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.
