That fear of deep dark water is called thalassophobia. And since we were talking about "natural" shark behaviour: in the movie "The Shallows" the shark has such an irrational hatred towards its one victim, it's so ridiculous 😅
Shark movies, or any movie where an animal is the bad guy, have them doing that. Giant predators going out of their way to hunt such tiny prey, wasting huge amounts of energy to eat a tiny little person will never make sense to me. T-rex in JP, Meg in this one.
I looked up that the shark has tangled with fishermen in the past and it developed a hatred towards human which essentially makes it a rogue shark like Jaws. Yeah, it's just a movie; but I hate that it carries on the legacy of the "rogue shark" trope rather than taking a different direction.
I don't have thalassemophobia but I do have submechnophobia. The fear of man-made objects underwater. Just looking at a picture of the sunken titanic makes my skin crawl
@@travisrygg3317 "As long as Blake Lively supports shark conservation, I feel less frustrated" That's a bit like saying she hates guns while holding one in each hand on a movie poster. It's Hollywood hypocrisy at its finest.
In so many movies where the main character has a tragic backstory, they try to save their friends/siblings/spouse/whatever only to not get there in time. I love the small but powerful addition that Jonas actually chose to leave his friends behind in the beginning. It was the right choice, but you understand and feel his guilt even more, making his journey throughout the rest of the movie even more impactful.
This was originally R and the blood and gore was filmed but they were forced by the studio to edit it down to Pg-13. That's why it feels like so much is missing. This is based on the Meg book series and the first book this is based on is radically different. This is an ok adaptation of the concept but a different story. The Trench is the next one and should be a lot more interesting, I've read these books since In was in 4th grade and The Trench is still my favorite
@@dr.k8610 There was some light talk about an R-/Unrated cut being put on the Bluray/4k but that was little more than rumor and didn't get to materialize. I collect blurays and know a good amount of people involved in producing physical media so know a bit more than most about that aspect of home releases
I hope the sequel coming out in August (I think it's still in August) is more like The Trench or at the very least more similar to the book(s) that the first movie was.
@@LordLOC if it is the people who wanted more creatures should be extremely happy. I can already think of one scene I do hope they tweak/cut out though
I like how they're doing separate genres of movies in the channel depending on who they group themselves with. The girls are busy with their horror saga, James and Nobu just watching everything as they usually do even before Hayley and Stella joined the team, then the four of them doing marathons of monster movies 😅
I’m amazed that your reaction of The Meg skyrocketed to 50k views in over 24 hours and now it is sitting at 90k+ views just 4 days later. It won’t be long until this reaction reaches 100,000 views before the end of this week. Edit: And fortunately it reached 100,000 views 7 days later.
It’s crazy to think that the Director for the _National Treasure_ films and _The Sorcerer’s Apprentice_ directed this Shark movie. Looking forward to your reaction to _Pacific Rim_ by Guillermo Del Toro next week and hopefully you get to react to Peter Jackson’s _King Kong_ film, _Super 8,_ The _Kingsman_ films, and _Holes_ (starring Shia LaBeouf).
I would definitely highly recommend for you guys to watch Deep Blue Sea (1999), Lake Placid (1999), Alligator (1980), Dinocroc (2004), Peter Benchley's Creature (1998), Crocodile (2000), Crocodile 2: Death Swamp/Roll (2004), Crawl (2019), Frankenfish (2004), Anaconda (1997), Anacondas 2: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004), Tremors (1990), Indigenous (2016), Arachnophobia (1990), Abominable (2006) and Spiders (2000). They are all fun movies. It is also ironic while watching your reaction I was eating onion rings that kept getting bigger and looking like a regular shark to Megalodon skull size. Love you guys💙💚💓💛🧡
There's a crocodile movie called Crawl, that I think everyone would love 😆😉 especially, Stella since last movie she mentioned her love of crocodiles. Plus Teresa from the Maze Runner is the main Protagonist
I remember watching this at home. I couldn't help but yelp at certain scenes. But can you imagine the Meg shark still alive. Goodbye boating, fishing and swimming in the ocean
LOVE THIS MOVIE,! It took them 20 years to make this movie happen. Eli Roth, Guillermo Del Toro, and Jan De Bont were considered ti direct the project between 1998 and 2015.
yeah, got the book when it first same out in 97 and been a fan of the series ever since. had been following development of the film(s) but was starting to lose faith it would ever get adapted.
I strongly recommend the Meg book series. They are way cool. You asked for more bigger creatures and the books deliver. Pseudo science explanations are stretching belief but the sea monster battles are worth it.
I know a lot of people don't like this movie or any of the newer shark movies but I love it! I'm a sucker for monster and creature movies(as they're my favorite) and I'm so excited for the sequel to this movie! I do believe that something this big could still exist since we basically know nothing of our oceans! And things we think went extinct aren't
@@boboboy8189 It was fine. The problem with it, for me, was that there was only one character, so we kinda knew she wouldn't die. I know it wan't certain, but the odds for it were higher.
Not better than Jaws but a lot of fun. Don’t forget Jaw’s cultural impact. My mom said people were scared to swim in a hotel pool after Jaws came out. 😅
On the behavior and eating habits thing. the book does reference that. they explain that because of the warmer water and much lower pressure on the surface sent the big meg's metabolism into overdrive. also, and more importantly, the big meg was She, and she was pregnant. they removed a couple scenes for the film, one, she gives birth just before the final battle, and the second is that the book ends with a scene of them capturing the baby, Angel. I was kind bummed they left it out, because Angel was the reason I was looking forward to them finally making this series into a series of films.
Great reaction - the books are awesome. They changed soooo much. There isn't another creature in the books until much later in the series... but they followed the books so loosely that they may make an appearance much earlier.
Most important thing to remember about this film is that it is based on a series of novels by a man named Steve Alten. This one is based on the first book, "Meg: A Novel Of Deep Terror", but there are a total of seven books in the series.
So in the movie "The Shallows" the shark in there killed everything/everybody that swam around that area. It wasn't doing this to eat them but the dead whale carcass, aka it's food, not only kept him around but made the shark territorial. In this movie it's broken out of its layer and just about everything is new to it and has no clue what living thing is a threat or not. It's similar to the dinosaur in the first Jurassic World where it killed for sport.
Not sure if anyone knows this, but this movie is based on a book, just like Jurassic Park is. Meg was written by Steve Alten, and I have it, I had it for 11 years, and there were plans for a movie based on it to be made 20 years ago, I still can't believe it took them so long to make it happen. And the book has five or six sequels, which means the movie will too, if they do well in the box office. The first sequel is called The Trench, and the movie based on it is in the works, or so I hear.
This one was fun, but kinda terrifying at the same time, as I have a fear of the ocean and what's in it. I didn't know they were making another. It will be cool to see what they do with the next one. Another good one that I would love to see you react to is Crawl.
Two other good but very different oceanic monster movies you might like are "Underwater" and "Deep Rising". The first is a tense, claustrophobic horror movie. The second is a fun, occasionally cheesy monster adventure from the same guy who did the Brendan Fraser "Mummy" movie.
Great reaction from all of you. This movie is one of my guilty pleasures. It works very well despite being a decent movie and nothing more, but definitely enjoyable as a monster movie. And JS adds a lot.
*if The movie had followed the book faithfully it would have been much better, here are some differences:* • In the book, Jonas was a Navy man who was exploring the Mariana Trenches being exhausted and saw the Megalodon there and ended up activating his submarine's buoys to return to the surface quickly, but that made the Megalodon attack his companions, which made he was labeled crazy, after that he became a paleobiologist trying to prove the existence of Megalodon. Already in the movie he was just a rescue diver (since this was Jason Stathan's procession before he was an actor) who refused to save 2 companions for fear of the Megalodon he saw. • In the book, Jonas's first wife, Maggie Taylor, was a journalist who considered her husband crazy and ridiculed him in her articles, in addition to cheating on Jonas with his billionaire friend in front of a party. When they show that the Megalodon exists, she tries to usurp and make money on top of it with her lover, but she ends up being devoured by the Megalodon while trying to record him in a glass cage, her lover had still begged Jonas to save her, since he was a coward. In the movie, she was called Lori and worked for Mana One, unlike the book, she was never a cruel woman, but she didn't get back together with Jonas in the end, since he fell in love with Suiyn and even encouraged him to try something with her. Suiyn. • In the book, Mac was Jonas's best friend and was a guy he met at the psychiatric hospital he was admitted to after the incident with Meg that got his teammates killed. Mac was a Vietnam War fighter who later worked for the Tanakas. In the movie, he already knew Jonas and they were friends forever. • In the book, Megalodon was bioluminescent because of the weather in the Mariana Trenches, so much so that it was blind and sensitive to light and could only come to the surface at night or when the weather was cloudy. In the film he loses these characteristics and comes to the surface in broad daylight. Besides, in the book, the female was pregnant and had 3 cubs, one of which she cannibalized, the second was killed by orcas and the third was a female that in the end was captured and called Angel "The Angel of Death", which became becomes the villain and "antiheroine" in the next 3 books, as she fights other sea monsters that also lived in Trenches, she also had her children, like Scarface, Lizzy, Mary Kate, Belle. •The Doctor Heller was a motherfuck3r from beginning to end of the book. In the book there was a brother who ended up being killed by Mega, that was karma for not believing in Jonas. In the movie he regrets calling Jonas crazy and sacrifices himself for them by letting Megalodon kill him. • In the book, the Zhang family in the film was not a Chinese family, but a Japanese-American family called Tanaka, Mr. Masao Zhang in the film was called Masao Tanaka and unlike the film he does not die, Suiyn in the books was called Terry Tanaka and not a single mother with a daughter, she had been in love with Jonas since high school, but he had hooked up with Maggie. in the end, she managed to confess to him and they both got married, forming a beautiful family in the next books. DJ, that black guy in the movie, in the books he wasn't African-American but Japanese-American and his name was DJ Tanaka and he was Terry's younger brother, and when Megalodon escaped from the Pits, DJ was the first to be dead, unlike the film where he is comic relief. • In the book, during the final battle against the female Megalodon, Jonas directed the submarine to her mouth and entered her throat down her throat until entering her stomach, inside, Jonas used the submarine as a "lid" to prevent everything Mega ate went into the intestines, which made her feel sick to her stomach. Jonas swam in her stomach and used a fossilized Megalodon tooth that he used as a lucky charm and stabbed her stomach from the inside, in addition to her stomach and also her heart. As she had eaten a lot of whales, her stomach was full of blubber, so Jonas left an explosive there. He then escaped her stomach through her mouth with the submarine and the bomb in the Megalodon's stomach exploded and as the whale blubber in her stomach was flammable, the bomb explosion burned her inside and killed her, with her body sinking into the sea. In the movie, however, Jonas simply slashed her with the submarine and poked her in the eye, letting modern sharks eat the Megalodon alive. But there is an interesting detail in the film: the camera focuses on a great white shark coming out of the dead Megaldon's mouth and I think that maybe it's her baby Angel, since in the books it was said that the babies were the size of a great white shark.
No one (meaning all reaction channels I've seen) ever seems to realize the Meg got out of that layer thing before when it attacked the sub in the beginning of the movie. The sub never went below the layer. The movie simply neglects to mention that part, or just ignored it altogether. Instead they make it like it was the first time it got out through the gap.
If you've ever seen the original Jaws then you may know this. In the first scene on the beach when the shark attacks the boy on the raft, there is also a man throwing a stick out into the water for his black lab to go out and fetch. His dog is also named Pippin. His dog does not survive the attack.
I'm glad you guys had fun with it but I wanted my change back I didn't like it 😂. Recommend Crawl Killer Klowns from Outer Space The Shallows 2016 Gremlins 2 I can't recall if you watched it 🤔 Tremors
When the girl on the pontoon boat starts yelling for her dog she calls it "Pippen" In the movie "Jaws" the guy throwing the stick in the water for his dog that disappeared yells his dog's name. Pippen
Love these monster movie reactions! I know it's not a giant monster movie, but I recommend you guys checking out The Wolfman (2010). It's so fucking good. Yeah they use some ok cgi for the transformation scenes, but they still used traditional makeup and prosthetics to make the wolfman come to life. But honestly it's the film's overall tone that always brings me back. The haunting music and atmosphere really make you feel on edge for the characters. And the kills are so much fun if you like some gorey deaths. "Never look back Lawrence. The past is a wilderness of horrors."
I don’t know why, but this movie has been my go-to-movie whenever I can’t find anything else interesting enough. I‘ve watched it over twenty times now, but somehow the details never fully stick with me, so the next time I‘m watching it, it‘s like „oh right I forgot about this scene“ more than once.
The dog in this movie, Pippet, is the same name they used for the dog in Jaws. The guy was playing fetch with him at the beach and Pippet disappeared (probably ate by the shark).
I noticed one of you ladies gave a slight gasp when you saw a shark swimming out of the second Megalodon’s mouth. I’m very glad one of you caught that scene because that is actually her DAUGHTER. In the book, the second Meg gives birth to several pups (the official term for baby sharks), but only one of the pups survives to the end of the book: a female who gets captured by Jonas Taylor and the rest of the human characters. They give her the name “Angel”, and she becomes the main Megalodon for the next few books in the Meg series. Well, when fans of the books (myself included) saw this shark swim out of the second Meg’s mouth, we immediately latched onto it and went “Oh my God, it’s Angel! That was Angel at the end!”. And we have apparently been proven right, because later this year they’re releasing the sequel: Meg 2-The Trench.
Jason Statham was hand-selected for the role of Jonas Taylor because he was once a professional diver and represented England in the 1190 Commonwealth Games in Auckland, New Zealand, and he is lightning fast in the water. Honestly, it's nice to see he hasn't lost that since becoming a full-time actor and all of his martial arts training. He's one of the reasons my youngest son takes Kung Fu. :) As someone who is Thalassophobic, I have a weird love and respect for Shark Conservation. They're an important part of our oceanic ecosystems. And I never miss Shark Week
I watched this movie in theatres with my best friend and my brother. We had a great time and the end had us howling. Loved it and im looking forward to seeing your reactions
Haven’t watched this movie since I saw it in theaters and forgot how much I liked it! They announced the other day that they are making a sequel and I can’t wait
Fun fact: most modern day "megaladon" sightings are just Basking Sharks. They're pretty massive and they like to swim with their mouths open to catch food. Unfortunately, we humans (the true monsters) have nearly hunted them into extinction
This movie would have been terrifying if they would have made it after the book that Steve Alten wrote. The beginning sequence in the book, is a scene from when it was alive and it ate a dinosaur that was stuck in shallow water. The movie could have been very gory and quite scary if they would have followed the book. Hope the sequel actual follows the second book (The Trench), because it also has the potential to be very good.
All your reactions in the bit where Suyin walks in on Jonas in a towel killed me because that was exactly my friends and I when we saw that in the cinema.
I really don't think that many people died compared to other movies, especially shark movies. I loved all the Jaws references! Being from Iceland it's always fun for me to see Ólafur Darri Ólafsson who plays Toshi's friend "The Wall" (big dude with long hair and beard). Aside from being in tons of Icelandic movies and TV shows he's been in some big Hollywood movies like The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, We Walk Among The Tombstones, Fantastic Beasts 2, BFG and Netflix's Murder Mystery. He's such a good actor. If you wanna watch more specifically shark movies I recommend Deep Blue Sea, The Shallows and 47 Meters Down. The last one is especially intense because a lot of it takes place underwater.
I haven't seen this movie, but during the shark cage scene, I kept thinking, "this shark is too small. The one that scared the little girl could've swallowed a minivan in one gulp, it shouldn't be struggling to swallow a 4'x8' tube."
This movie is freaky and scary and really traumatising but its still an awesome movie all around. I love the shark attack spots so haunting and amazing and the storytelling is on point, I also love the casting too 😁so thanks for the reaction guys hopefully you did enjoy it and can’t wait what you did next 😊😄😉😉🦈🦈🦈
This is a great movie. Basically a love letter to the Jaws series. There are a ridiculous amount of Easter eggs from Jaws 1-4. It's worth it to watch the entire Jaws series and then go back through the Meg and find all the references. My favorite monster movie will always be Jaws, but I do like the 1999 Godzilla movie, Anaconda is another good one, Deep Blue Sea is scary funny, and 2005 King Kong is good too. And Lake Placid. Love the ending.
What is your favorite giant monster??
Ghidorah is my favorite giant monster. And my favorite villain is Apocalypse from the XMEN franchise.
Godzilla or The Beast from Teen Wolf.
The alligator in Crawl
Godzilla react to it again this time with those girls
Yeah crawl the alligator movie

I do believe that something this big could still exist since we basically know nothing of our oceans! And things we think went extinct aren't
Awesome reaction! Another one y'all would probably enjoy is 47 Meters Down (2017)
So few people talk about this and I actually think it's the best of the newer shark movies. I find The MEG the worst.
47 meters down uncaged is great too.
@@TheBlackLakeSiren I was disappointed in that. Bigger doesn't always mean better.
both are not that good, i'm myself prefer the shallow which is the best recent shark movie
@@boboboy8189 It was fine. The problem with it, for me, was that there was only one character, so we kinda knew she wouldn't die. I know it wan't certain, but the odds for it were higher.
Not better than Jaws but a lot of fun. Don’t forget Jaw’s cultural impact. My mom said people were scared to swim in a hotel pool after Jaws came out. 😅
Shit my parents used going to the beach as a threat 😢

On the behavior and eating habits thing. the book does reference that. they explain that because of the warmer water and much lower pressure on the surface sent the big meg's metabolism into overdrive.
also, and more importantly, the big meg was She, and she was pregnant.
they removed a couple scenes for the film, one, she gives birth just before the final battle, and the second is that the book ends with a scene of them capturing the baby, Angel.
I was kind bummed they left it out, because Angel was the reason I was looking forward to them finally making this series into a series of films.
I've just seen the sequel and..... I am so happy right now.
Great reaction - the books are awesome. They changed soooo much. There isn't another creature in the books until much later in the series... but they followed the books so loosely that they may make an appearance much earlier.

Most important thing to remember about this film is that it is based on a series of novels by a man named Steve Alten. This one is based on the first book, "Meg: A Novel Of Deep Terror", but there are a total of seven books in the series.

So in the movie "The Shallows" the shark in there killed everything/everybody that swam around that area. It wasn't doing this to eat them but the dead whale carcass, aka it's food, not only kept him around but made the shark territorial. In this movie it's broken out of its layer and just about everything is new to it and has no clue what living thing is a threat or not. It's similar to the dinosaur in the first Jurassic World where it killed for sport.
You mean the Indominus Rex.
VYU
Not sure if anyone knows this, but this movie is based on a book, just like Jurassic Park is. Meg was written by Steve Alten, and I have it, I had it for 11 years, and there were plans for a movie based on it to be made 20 years ago, I still can't believe it took them so long to make it happen. And the book has five or six sequels, which means the movie will too, if they do well in the box office. The first sequel is called The Trench, and the movie based on it is in the works, or so I hear.
This one was fun, but kinda terrifying at the same time, as I have a fear of the ocean and what's in it. I didn't know they were making another. It will be cool to see what they do with the next one. Another good one that I would love to see you react to is Crawl.

Man, this was one hell of a documentary.
Two other good but very different oceanic monster movies you might like are "Underwater" and "Deep Rising". The first is a tense, claustrophobic horror movie. The second is a fun, occasionally cheesy monster adventure from the same guy who did the Brendan Fraser "Mummy" movie.

Hahahaha best comment ever!! Made me laugh so much!! Thank you!! 😂
@@tinahastie 😄👍
I love this friend group, such good vibes and always a fun time 😄
Great reaction from all of you.
This movie is one of my guilty pleasures. It works very well despite being a decent movie and nothing more, but definitely enjoyable as a monster movie. And JS adds a lot.
Hell Yeah! I got a huge soft spot for big, dumb, fun, monster movies. This one is one of my favorites.
my favourite monster movie is the one that has serious tone
Even
The way Stella looks at the camera, amazing
These are a set of books. They are very good books but different than the movies. Tremors are classic cult movie set that I think you guys would love.

Meg 2: The Trench is scheduled to premiere in the US on Aug. 4, 2023.
y'all seen hugh jackmans van hesing? If not definitely underrated but beloved film for it's own monster verse which works.
fun fact the fish with the lightbulb on its head its called a angler fish they use it to lure there prey in the water.
To answer the question in the title, No this is not better than Jaws. But it is a really fun watch and better than most shark movies out there
*if The movie had followed the book faithfully it would have been much better, here are some differences:*
• In the book, Jonas was a Navy man who was exploring the Mariana Trenches being exhausted and saw the Megalodon there and ended up activating his submarine's buoys to return to the surface quickly, but that made the Megalodon attack his companions, which made he was labeled crazy, after that he became a paleobiologist trying to prove the existence of Megalodon. Already in the movie he was just a rescue diver (since this was Jason Stathan's procession before he was an actor) who refused to save 2 companions for fear of the Megalodon he saw. • In the book, Jonas's first wife, Maggie Taylor, was a journalist who considered her husband crazy and ridiculed him in her articles, in addition to cheating on Jonas with his billionaire friend in front of a party. When they show that the Megalodon exists, she tries to usurp and make money on top of it with her lover, but she ends up being devoured by the Megalodon while trying to record him in a glass cage, her lover had still begged Jonas to save her, since he was a coward. In the movie, she was called Lori and worked for Mana One, unlike the book, she was never a cruel woman, but she didn't get back together with Jonas in the end, since he fell in love with Suiyn and even encouraged him to try something with her. Suiyn.
• In the book, Mac was Jonas's best friend and was a guy he met at the psychiatric hospital he was admitted to after the incident with Meg that got his teammates killed. Mac was a Vietnam War fighter who later worked for the Tanakas. In the movie, he already knew Jonas and they were friends forever.
• In the book, Megalodon was bioluminescent because of the weather in the Mariana Trenches, so much so that it was blind and sensitive to light and could only come to the surface at night or when the weather was cloudy. In the film he loses these characteristics and comes to the surface in broad daylight. Besides, in the book, the female was pregnant and had 3 cubs, one of which she cannibalized, the second was killed by orcas and the third was a female that in the end was captured and called Angel "The Angel of Death", which became becomes the villain and "antiheroine" in the next 3 books, as she fights other sea monsters that also lived in Trenches, she also had her children, like Scarface, Lizzy, Mary Kate, Belle.
•The Doctor Heller was a motherfuck3r from beginning to end of the book. In the book there was a brother who ended up being killed by Mega, that was karma for not believing in Jonas. In the movie he regrets calling Jonas crazy and sacrifices himself for them by letting Megalodon kill him.
• In the book, the Zhang family in the film was not a Chinese family, but a Japanese-American family called Tanaka, Mr. Masao Zhang in the film was called Masao Tanaka and unlike the film he does not die, Suiyn in the books was called Terry Tanaka and not a single mother with a daughter, she had been in love with Jonas since high school, but he had hooked up with Maggie. in the end, she managed to confess to him and they both got married, forming a beautiful family in the next books. DJ, that black guy in the movie, in the books he wasn't African-American but Japanese-American and his name was DJ Tanaka and he was Terry's younger brother, and when Megalodon escaped from the Pits, DJ was the first to be dead, unlike the film where he is comic relief. • In the book, during the final battle against the female Megalodon, Jonas directed the submarine to her mouth and entered her throat down her throat until entering her stomach, inside, Jonas used the submarine as a "lid" to prevent everything Mega ate went into the intestines, which made her feel sick to her stomach. Jonas swam in her stomach and used a fossilized Megalodon tooth that he used as a lucky charm and stabbed her stomach from the inside, in addition to her stomach and also her heart. As she had eaten a lot of whales, her stomach was full of blubber, so Jonas left an explosive there. He then escaped her stomach through her mouth with the submarine and the bomb in the Megalodon's stomach exploded and as the whale blubber in her stomach was flammable, the bomb explosion burned her inside and killed her, with her body sinking into the sea. In the movie, however, Jonas simply slashed her with the submarine and poked her in the eye, letting modern sharks eat the Megalodon alive. But there is an interesting detail in the film: the camera focuses on a great white shark coming out of the dead Megaldon's mouth and I think that maybe it's her baby Angel, since in the books it was said that the babies were the size of a great white shark.
24:43 Hayley's "oh, man, i'm mad that he was useful" 😂😂honestly mood
No one (meaning all reaction channels I've seen) ever seems to realize the Meg got out of that layer thing before when it attacked the sub in the beginning of the movie. The sub never went below the layer. The movie simply neglects to mention that part, or just ignored it altogether. Instead they make it like it was the first time it got out through the gap.
For an animated sea monster movie, react to The Sea Beast, with the voice of Karl Urban.
"...unless it was hungry hungry 🥺" lol seems reasonable to me 😂
If you've ever seen the original Jaws then you may know this. In the first scene on the beach when the shark attacks the boy on the raft, there is also a man throwing a stick out into the water for his black lab to go out and fetch. His dog is also named Pippin. His dog does not survive the attack.
🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑
it was also from the Meg book. tho, in the book Pippin was Jonas' ex-wife's dog, but ended up in the same situation when the meg attacks her boat.
this isn't a monster movie but another shark movie 47 meters down :uncaged I highly recommend you guys watching it.
uncaged is not good though. i give up halfway because how dumb the movie became. first one is good
I'm glad you guys had fun with it but I wanted my change back I didn't like it 😂.
Recommend Crawl
Killer Klowns from Outer Space
The Shallows 2016
Gremlins 2 I can't recall if you watched it 🤔
Tremors
Crawl definitely
When the girl on the pontoon boat starts yelling for her dog she calls it "Pippen"
In the movie "Jaws" the guy throwing the stick in the water for his dog that disappeared yells his dog's name. Pippen
Pipit was the name of the dog in Jaws. That was her real name.
Love these monster movie reactions! I know it's not a giant monster movie, but I recommend you guys checking out The Wolfman (2010). It's so fucking good. Yeah they use some ok cgi for the transformation scenes, but they still used traditional makeup and prosthetics to make the wolfman come to life. But honestly it's the film's overall tone that always brings me back. The haunting music and atmosphere really make you feel on edge for the characters. And the kills are so much fun if you like some gorey deaths.

Dog Soliders is a pretty solid monster movie. Its got action and suspense, it still to this day my favorite monster movie.
I don’t know why, but this movie has been my go-to-movie whenever I can’t find anything else interesting enough. I‘ve watched it over twenty times now, but somehow the details never fully stick with me, so the next time I‘m watching it, it‘s like „oh right I forgot about this scene“ more than once.
because studios dumbing down this movie, it's based on book.
if you want great monster movie, i recommend you to watch underwater (2020)

The dog in this movie, Pippet, is the same name they used for the dog in Jaws. The guy was playing fetch with him at the beach and Pippet disappeared (probably ate by the shark).
The trailers made it look more like a suspense movie, but it was more an action adventure/ comedy.
💜
Jason S was a high level, professional, diver before acting. It is very impressive to go back and see some of his dives!
My Thailand is not old like that. Lol 😂😂
respect the ending credits too, lol "fin". luv it
I noticed one of you ladies gave a slight gasp when you saw a shark swimming out of the second Megalodon’s mouth. I’m very glad one of you caught that scene because that is actually her DAUGHTER. In the book, the second Meg gives birth to several pups (the official term for baby sharks), but only one of the pups survives to the end of the book: a female who gets captured by Jonas Taylor and the rest of the human characters. They give her the name “Angel”, and she becomes the main Megalodon for the next few books in the Meg series. Well, when fans of the books (myself included) saw this shark swim out of the second Meg’s mouth, we immediately latched onto it and went “Oh my God, it’s Angel! That was Angel at the end!”. And we have apparently been proven right, because later this year they’re releasing the sequel: Meg 2-The Trench.

see, i saw the shark, but it didn't look like a meg to me, so i was disappointed. BUT, i've just seen the sequel and i am so happy.
Jason Statham was hand-selected for the role of Jonas Taylor because he was once a professional diver and represented England in the 1190 Commonwealth Games in Auckland, New Zealand, and he is lightning fast in the water. Honestly, it's nice to see he hasn't lost that since becoming a full-time actor and all of his martial arts training. He's one of the reasons my youngest son takes Kung Fu. :) As someone who is Thalassophobic, I have a weird love and respect for Shark Conservation. They're an important part of our oceanic ecosystems. And I never miss Shark Week
I watched this movie in theatres with my best friend and my brother. We had a great time and the end had us howling. Loved it and im looking forward to seeing your reactions
💜
The glass scene with the girl in which the shark attacks triggered thalassophobia to the max because I didnt notice the meg at first 💀
Haven’t watched this movie since I saw it in theaters and forgot how much I liked it! They announced the other day that they are making a sequel and I can’t wait
🎖️🏆🏅🥇
Fun fact: most modern day "megaladon" sightings are just Basking Sharks. They're pretty massive and they like to swim with their mouths open to catch food. Unfortunately, we humans (the true monsters) have nearly hunted them into extinction
This movie would have been terrifying if they would have made it after the book that Steve Alten wrote. The beginning sequence in the book, is a scene from when it was alive and it ate a dinosaur that was stuck in shallow water. The movie could have been very gory and quite scary if they would have followed the book. Hope the sequel actual follows the second book (The Trench), because it also has the potential to be very good.
studios demand PG-13, so they removed many things
Have you seen the meg 2 trailer? That scene you was talking about is shown in the trailer for the new meg if im not mistaken
👫
All your reactions in the bit where Suyin walks in on Jonas in a towel killed me because that was exactly my friends and I when we saw that in the cinema.
Almost nothing is better than Jaws.
Have you ever heard of Dog Soldiers "? One of my favorite monster movies although I've never met anyone else who has seen it!
VELOCIPASTOR.
He's a pastor, he's a velociraptor, he is VELOCIPASTOR!
This is the perfect example of "just because people can do something doesn't mean we should do it".
I really don't think that many people died compared to other movies, especially shark movies. I loved all the Jaws references! Being from Iceland it's always fun for me to see Ólafur Darri Ólafsson who plays Toshi's friend "The Wall" (big dude with long hair and beard). Aside from being in tons of Icelandic movies and TV shows he's been in some big Hollywood movies like The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, We Walk Among The Tombstones, Fantastic Beasts 2, BFG and Netflix's Murder Mystery. He's such a good actor.
If you wanna watch more specifically shark movies I recommend Deep Blue Sea, The Shallows and 47 Meters Down. The last one is especially intense because a lot of it takes place underwater.
there's another shark movie from 2011, i forgot the title but it's actually good one for indie film.
did Stella match her headset with her dress if so she is really super into fashion !
Favourite giant monster....it doesn't exist yet!!!!🤫🤐🤔🤨😏😉😬🥴😵😳😢😭😱💀👏🙌👍🎉
At the beginning when stella says Im stella and then smiles, It brings me joy!
Has to be the Tremors series soon !
33:12
Y'know, it always irritated me that they were playing in the water after they confirmed dozens of regular sharks still swimming about.
Orca
Tentacles
Jaws 2 (only good Jaws sequel)
Prophecy (1979sh)
Deep Blue Sea
Lake Placid
I haven't seen this movie, but during the shark cage scene, I kept thinking, "this shark is too small. The one that scared the little girl could've swallowed a minivan in one gulp, it shouldn't be struggling to swallow a 4'x8' tube."
Toshi was a true Super Hiro.😅
Boooooooooo!!!!! 🤣
The "fin" at the end is French for "end", but it makes a great double-entendre in this case which is why they used it!
“Better than Jaws??!!”
GET THAT SH*T OUTTA HERE!!! This movie is really fun, but Jaws is a masterpiece.
This movie is freaky and scary and really traumatising but its still an awesome movie all around. I love the shark attack spots so haunting and amazing and the storytelling is on point, I also love the casting too 😁so thanks for the reaction guys hopefully you did enjoy it and can’t wait what you did next 😊😄😉😉🦈🦈🦈

Cliff Curtis' voice is amazing when he says reel him in, DJ
The Ghost and the Darkness is a good example of animals killing for sport rather than food. Plus it’s based on a true story.

you guys should try Piranha 3D(2010) and the Lake Placid franchise
Omg I frigging love this movie
This is a great movie. Basically a love letter to the Jaws series. There are a ridiculous amount of Easter eggs from Jaws 1-4. It's worth it to watch the entire Jaws series and then go back through the Meg and find all the references. My favorite monster movie will always be Jaws, but I do like the 1999 Godzilla movie, Anaconda is another good one, Deep Blue Sea is scary funny, and 2005 King Kong is good too. And Lake Placid. Love the ending.
where underwater (2020)?
Can’t wait for the sequel
August 4th
