 You know when I was going into this film I just really wanted one thing I really wanted to see Jason Statham punch a shark in the face. Did my wish come true? Well let's find out. My name is Brandon Keith-Avery and this is just my opinion. Hey what's going on everyone thank you so much for tuning in to my opinion sledge review for the Meg I really do appreciate it. Now I was actually really looking forward to this film. I like shark movies I like 47 meters down of course I like Jaws I like Piranha 3D. I like Jason Statham he's a fan of mine I mean I'm a fan of his and I have been ever since he popped up in the scene for me in his transporter days. He's a little miscast in this film but at the same time I really don't care because while I want to have fun with this this is not anything that I went in taking seriously okay you know I mean with the size of this shark I mean that's just kind of ridiculous. Not saying it's true or whatever I don't know I mean I'm not into it like that but I was not expecting much. Now this film is being directed by John Turtotov if you don't know his work he did the national treasure movies with Nicholas Cage for Summerfanna. He also did Cool Runnings which came out in the early 90s and also one of my favorite movies of all time not saying the best one of my favorite is Three Ninjas which came out in 1992 that just kind of has a little place for me you know in my heart as a child. But as far as the make is concerned I really enjoyed it now this is more of kind of an action adventure film it's not like a horror thing like that the film is PG-13 so if you are expecting a lot of gore and blood and things like that you will be disappointed but at the same time I just really wasn't expecting anything other than seeing Jason Statham punch him in the face but I you know he even though he was a slightly miscast you know he is a real character in this film Jason Statham he is a anti-cowardist you know he is a hero he saves a lot of people in this film this film is also very funny too I also like that I was able to buy a little bit of the science and the way they had to explain things with the Mariana Trench and where they think where they assume the deepest part in the ocean is now also something I like when a film challenges me but it has to succeed in the challenge and what I mean is is when you have certain lines of dialogue or just a premise that you're showcasing on screen you know with a lot of the technology in this film especially at the very beginning I was like okay guys this is just over complicated I just don't understand why are y'all doing this why don't y'all just do this and make a whole bunch of rovers and robots and just send down there why do you have to send bodies down thousands and thousands of feet and miles or not thousands of miles below but you know way down was I think the lowest part in the ocean that they think is like six miles or something like that I could I could be wrong but I mean I'm having a lot of these questions with technology with things just don't make sense to me but then they reveal some more dialogue later on which you know with with the cost of with the cost of how much it will be to manufacture such a tool and when they were dropping these jewels like this and giving the explanation that's when I calm down okay you know that's making more sense than I was just able to get on board uh something that really surprised the hell I mean with this film that I did not think was gonna happen at all as I actually cared about the characters all of them I mean I care I cared about Jason Statham there was this one guy in the film by the name of Toshi who was in the heroes TV show that came out a number of years ago I cared about him I care I cared about everybody there was a leading a supporting a white lady supporting Asian lady and I like both of them also you know usually when these films here they kind of will telegraph to where there's a strong macho guy and then a woman over here that doesn't like the strong macho guy first but then towards the end of the film they're making it out like oh I guess you are a great guy you saved everybody so you know I kind of thought that was gonna go there and whether they did or not just gonna have to see the film but it was kind of like a unintentional love triangle you know that it's something I just you know this kind of gave me a different flavor than I've ever gotten before as far as you know films like this is concerned let's talk about the shark the shark is freaking huge you know and I liked it for the most part and there are a number of surprises in this film that really hit home as far as the shark looked I mean I like the design but at the same time there was a lot of CGI some parts it looked real some parts they could have did a better job and I kind of do what I really don't know I was gonna say I kind of wish they would have got bloodier but you know I'm not you know I really didn't care these are complaints that I've heard from other people but you know the shark you know he was a worthy threat was not messing around and you know I did appreciate the little bit of carnage that I was able to get from the the sharks there were a ton of agency moments for me to where when the shark would jump out or this would pop over here or pop over that was like oh when somebody was on with this close to dying I'm just like oh get away get away get away you know and I mean just did a great job there um and I like I said I felt sorry for the characters there are people that died in this movie and when they died I was like damn man I just really hurt you know I'm saying like just you know in a point they're like stranded out in sea and just kind of see like the horror and terror that they're going through did a great job there there is a black guy in this movie the token black guy what is his name uh his name page kennedy I like him he's funny uh he was in swat uh let's see what else this guy's in he okay he's got 61 credits I'm not gonna look at all this he was in the rush hour tv series and you can look him up if you want to but I liked him he was funny uh there was he was more of the comic relief in this film uh I mean there was comedy coming from all different directions on all cylinders but uh you know he was a comic relief there was a point towards the end of the film though that kind of made him seem like a punk uh but you know I didn't really care for that but you know I got over it there's also a small cute little Asian girl she's just the sweetest thing she is very smart uh but you know overall guys I really did enjoy this film I don't want to go as far as to say I will buy out or something like that but excuse me I would not mind seeing it again you know a year from now when this is on tv or netflix or whatever you know and I don't got nothing to watch I would love to have this playing watch it playing in the background of me I really did have fun with this film I enjoyed it um if I have to give the meg a rating out of a 1 out of 10 I'm gonna give it a 7.5 out of 10 yes a 7.5 out of 10 but guys that is just my opinion have you seen the meg
