The Meg (2018)
Simple Summer Fun
If you're expecting an Oscar contender, look elsewhere. If you want to smile for 2 hours, proceed.
The Meg is awesome summer popcorn fun! The science is rubbish, but you had to know that going in, right? It's a shark monster movie. Not realistic like The Shallows, or Jaws, but perfectly good in its own right.
This movie is fun. There's humor. There's suspense. There's a bit of tragedy. But overall, you don't get terribly invested, and that's ok! Not every single move has to be so serious.
The Meg does a wonderful job of not taking itself too seriously, and a lot of you overbearing critics would be wise to take a leaf out of The Meg's book.
The Shallows (2016)
Great shark movie
Exactly what it was supposed to be.
A bit formulaic, but really what can one do with a shark?
Blake Lively was amazing. If nothing else, you should watch this for her Riply-esque performance and strength in the face of complete torment and almost certain death.
If you don't know what that means, you should not be reading movie reviews.
I'd recommend this movie to any adult who likes the suspense/horror genre. Good watch.
Ghostbusters (2016)
This is a fun movie!
OK. Listen. If you like movies like this, and you're not attached to some morbid nostalgia, then you'll love it!
It's funny. The visuals are great! The action is fantastic.
I'm not sure what all the naysayers really have a problem with.
Watch it with your kids if they're a bit older. Everyone will laugh. I promise.
