Sequels, and sequels of sequels, have trouble differentiating themselves from their brethren from time to time.
The initial stretch is, perhaps unavoidably, hokey but not unagreeable given the company involved.
The interplay is reasonably fun for short stretches.

Where else are you going to see Jason Statham reading the want ads for a job?
But there is serious stuff to attend to: Did Statham remember to get his stubble-trim this morning?
Would you believe theres a nuclear bomb on their ship that is heading for the China Sea?
Could there actually be twoMeg 2s?
It might be passably interesting to watch except for the fact that we already saw it a month ago.
Couldnt the writers think up something new?
But one thing for sure: we definitely dont need aMeg 3anytime soon.
Get busy with something else.
