The Meg just blew this out of the water


Now THAT is how you make a great shark film.

Don't get me wrong, Jaws is a classic but The Meg topped it in all areas: better cast of characters who are just as relatable, better action, more casualties helping setup the shark as a more villainous entity than on Jaws and of course a far more badass shark that is bigger, stronger and meaner.

Better cast of characters?

Quint talking about the U.S.S. Indianapolis was better than the entire Meg movie and it’s unmade sequels.

They probably could have made some pretty awesome flicks based off the books but instead they chose to make a big budget Asylum/SyFy movie.

LOL better cast? Jason Statham cant act.

No shark movie ever made has been better then Jaws and there will probably never be one. Sharknado was better then The Meg and thats not saying much.

I liked Meg but have to disagree. This was the far superior movie.
