Critics dont like Meg 2: The Trench because they have no fucking whimsy
Can't a movie just be fun anymore? Cant you just sit and enjoy the action hero being silly and fighting sharks and evil corporations to save the planet? Isnt fun to watch a giant octopus grab people? Or sharks go nom nom? Dont you want to watch dinosaurs fight and then eat a billionaire?
Come on. Find your fucking whimsy and enjoy silly shark movie

i watched the meg 2 and it was fun ngl. they had 1 kraken, 3 megs, 15 dinosaurs and a dream. melissanthi mahut got a kassandra reference im pretty sure, jason statham is coparenting a 14 year old with his competitive rival man friend. and this one guy had a murder backpack. jason statham also killed sharks with his bare hands and dived in 25000 meter depth without equipment. I giggled a lot and my jaw was on the floor. If you want silly fun I recommend.

(via "There Were Too Many Priests in My Shark Movie" Magnet for Sale by Cursed-Quotes)
Yes, this is an INCREDIBLY niche quote lol, one that was inspired by the time that all I wanted to do was watch a terribly made shark movie with super fake shark scenes....but there were there so many priests???? (and by that, I do mean like only 1-2 priests... but still!?!??)

Meg 2: The Trench (2023) Review
Tumblr media
Yep, they made a second one.
Plot: Jonas Taylor leads a research team on an exploratory dive into the deepest depths of the ocean. Their voyage spirals into chaos when a malevolent mining operation threatens their mission and forces them into a high-stakes battle for survival. Pitted against colossal, prehistoric sharks and relentless environmental plunderers, they must outrun, outsmart and outswim their merciless predators.
I was not a big fan of the first Meg movie. It did the typical Hollywood monster movie cliche of focusing too much on the human characters that nobody cared about, and too little on the big shark munching on people. Look, no one is expecting an Oscar-worthy motion picture here. We just want a fun silly summer blockbuster that features bonified action star Jason Statham battling a massive shark and somehow having an actual fighting chance due to nonsensical physics and because Statham is a badass who could fight a minotaur if he had to. With The Meg 2, though I didn't have high hopes, I was still interested as this one is directed by Ben Wheatley who has managed to build quite a strong little filmography in the British indie market, from the highly entertaining warehouse shooter Free Fire to the hallucinogenic A Field In England to challenging the status quo of the class system in High-Rise. As a director, Wheatley evidently enjoys sequestering violent, shortsighted characters in cloistered environments and watching how they claw at each other's throats. So even though at first I scratched my head at Wheatley tackling The Meg sequel, I soon realised that it made perfect sense. A bunch of characters that are ready to be chomped and eaten by a massive shark? Wait, may Ben Wheatley be the answer to that simple request we as movie fans are asking - Statham VS Shark?
Having seen The Meg 2: The Trench I am happy to confirm that it is a better film than its predecessor. However, it is not a good movie. More so the first 2/3 of the movie is a generic underwater survival movie that very much exists to fill up the runtime, but it is frustrating as there are hardly any megalodons in this first 2/3 of the movie. I mean they are there, but they mostly just do a lot of swimming and staring. Lots and lots of swimming, and lots and lots of staring. However coming to the last third of The Meg 2 and it becomes this entirely different beast that is this crazy mad load of bonkers featuring prehistoric sea creatures attacking this beach island, and it is silly, ludicrous and ridiculous and is exactly what I wanted. Heck, there's even a Kraken in this movie! A fricking Kraken!! And most importantly, we get Statham VS Sharks (plural)!! That last 40 or so minutes are super entertaining, and even all the cast become more lively and enjoyable to watch as they run about doing various survival shenanigans. If only that final third was actually the entire movie. All the stuff in the beginning is so unnecessary and in fact, the set-up for all the beach stuff could have been summed up in 5 minutes.
Jason Statham very much is here to cash in a paycheck, but dammit does this man have that badass charm and charisma that he easily carries the cast of this movie alongside Wu Jing, who in a way is the other main character that is there to target the Chinese audience market. Both Statham and Jing and fun to watch, and they both have plenty of opportunities to kick butt. There was also this guy called DJ (played by Page Kennedy) and he was actually hilarious. His one-liners were funny and the ongoing gag with his little survival backpack was actually really entertaining. Again though, this DJ character is in the movie from the start, but he doesn't really show off his true colours until later in the movie when all the boring trench stuff is done with.
Overall I enjoyed The Meg 2 more than I expected, but that enjoyment primarily came from the last part of the movie, where the movie finally embraces what it was selling to us in the trailers. Also, this now makes me wonder with all the massive sea monsters at the end of this movie, are we leading up to the inevitable crossovers of Megalodon VS Godzilla VS Kong? Look, all of those are owned by Warner Bros, so it's surely only a matter of time. As for The Meg 2: The Trench, it's a forgettable yet partially enjoyable summer blockbuster, yet the one thing I won't forget is Jason Statham muttering in his grizzly voice "it's a deviated septum".
Overall score: 5/10

Horror Movie Review: Alien Shark (2022)
Nobody in their right mind is watching a movie called Alien Shark and expecting anything but B-movie trash. So, it should come as no surprise to find that writer Aaron Jackson and director Paul Tomborello’s Alien Shark is trash.

So, it should come as no surprise to find that writer Aaron Jackson and director Paul Tomborello’s Alien Shark is trash. However, it does have some entertainment value because it is so bad and because it is so stupid. Aleesha (Brittany Altenbach) is breaking down barriers in the military…

I'm watching Deep Fear on Netflix, it's really shit, half the actors are awful, there's an incredibly weird mix of accents and ethnicities that don't make the most sense, and their stock footage use is painful, like in one clip you clearly see someone throw something in the water even though no one did that. Anyway, the only redeeming quality is the sharks do cocaine. That isn't me exaggerating or making it up for fun, like the character even says, the sharks are high on cocaine. Main guy is quite attractive and has a pleasant voice too I suppose

31 Days of Horror: Day 18 - The Black Demon
Tumblr media
The gif is not from the movie.
Holy Ham Fisted Morals
Idk if this movie could be any more clumsy. The only white guy is a corrupt oil worker, he refuses to listen to anyone else and has work in Mexico and a Mexican wife and doesn't speak any Spanish at all.
I don't even remember if the shark is seen lol. I lost interest about 30 minute in though.

The Black Demon (2023) Review
Paul Sturges returns to a small town to check on an offshore oil rig while incorporating a family vacation. However, the areas economics have taken a turn and their tranquil retreat is hijacked by a colossal megalodon shark. Beyond directors Adrian Grünberg captivating visuals, Boise Esquerra’s screenplay delves into meaningful ecological and spiritual legends themes, making it more than just a…
