We know that Jaws and The Meg aren’t really comparable as films, but we went ahead and did it anyway. We thought that it might be fun to see how these shark Goliaths stacked up alongside one another, cinematically.

THE MEG IS MONSTER FUN. It owes more to the likes of Jurassic Park, Godzilla and Deep Blue Sea - with a dash of Jaws 3D to boot - than a certain film based on a Peter Benchley novel. Don’t believe those saying it is an abomination of a movie, it certainly isn’t that.

I was 5 the first time I saw Jaws and instead of being terrified I was fascinated. I'll never forget the first time I saw Hooper roll into Amity to look at the body and announce the bite radius was no dogfish or the famous necropsy on the dock. I knew that was who I wanted to be. Whenever we would take a family vacation to Universal studios Hollywood I remember riding the back lot tour and just in awe every time we'd go through the lake and that robotic shark would show.
