The Meg 1 vs The Meg 2 - Which Is Dumber...

The Salty Nerd
About this episode

The Meg was dumb. The Meg 2 blew it out of the water in terms of dumbness. And the Salty Nerds have a LOT to complain about! Jason Statham is back as everyone's favorite rescue diver, who now is more like James Bond than a former military man. When Statham isn't kicking butt and flipping jet skis in slow motion, he's a single dad trying to raise an intrepid teenage girl while ignoring things like the laws of science and any lick of common sense. This movie is supposedly an adaptation of a book, but apparently it just uses the book's title and a giant shark and makes the rest up, much to Jude's dismay. What is your The Meg 2 review? Did you love it? Hate it? Are you dumber for having watched it?
