I think this movie was made to be a Fun movie, not one that’s really in depth or serious, just fun, just pure entertainment, and because they knew that and they leaned into it, it ended up being a movie you could rewatch just because it is fun to watch.
I've never seen such a bad, trash pile of crap in my life. And I loved it lol Its great when movies, even though utterly stupid, are just fun with no preaching or scolding the audience. Makes a nice change.
I agree both movies are that but this one was just way less satisfying for me, much preferred the first one. But I did love some of the jokes in this one so it works, but I found myself a bit bored at many points. Maybe I just wanted more shark action, I am a simple man.
@@User-kq3od I actually like the second one more, but that’s just personal preference. The first though is still really good, and has some of the best creepy unnerving underwater cinematography I think I’ve ever seen.
@@JeffreyLong Really? Maybe if youre afraid of that. But I dont get that at all from either of these movies, I do enjoy horror movies tho so maybe its just a tolerance thing. Theyre good family friendly summer action flicks, Ik theyre not meant to be taken seriously 😂 Btw for me some of the best underwater horror shots are in these movies, I love when you see how tiny humans are, especially in the deep dark ocean, surrounded by lots of things or some giant thing. 47m Down Aquaman Underwater SCP-3000
The first one was actually fairly good imo, this one was too much. It just kinda sucked imo. I wish movies would choose whether theyre gonna try or not. I love movies like sharknado, velocipastor, zombeavers. But stuff like Meg 2 where they have the production quality and funding to be good but only half try to be good it just feels meh yknow.
We honestly need more movies like this. Everything tries to take their story so seriously nowadays rather than just have fun. Like this brings me back to the movies of the '90s the ones you'll always remember. Not the same copy paste intense drama we getting nowadays. This is just something to watch, to enjoy, and to have fun. One of the reasons why I love syfi originals so much and just movies they put on that channel in general.
This movie very much what it's supposed to be, a turn your brain off and have fun on the ride, nothing more. Sometimes movies are meant to be full on, over the top escapism and this one does it in spades.
I know it was all over the place, random and dumb impossible shit happening but I still loved the movie so much, it was so full of action and good shots and humor Love it
The giant octopus, Kraken, reminds me of the giant mutant octopus from the 1955 monster film IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA, with stop motion animation by Ray Harryhausen
@@User-kq3od Several groups of aquatic reptiles appeared soon after de Permian Extinction and evolved continuously during all Mesozoic. Thus it is quite difficult to make a proper phylogenetic classification (kinship) and there are scientific debates today. Sauropterygia is a huge artificial group that includes families of marine reptiles I mentioned above, but excludes others like ichthyosaurs, thalattosaurs and marine "crocodiles" (that weren't true crocodiles).
@@EliteLethal2 Interesting. I suppose it is hard to create a true genetic tree with such limited DNA evidence. Thanks for the info tho, always loved learning about prehistoric fauna and genetics was rlly fun in my college biology class few years back. Might look into this more, finding it harder to stay up to date with these things as time goes on although I suppose thats just because the internet becoming widely adopted made it possible for me to hear about all big breakthroughs rather than just what got aired on TV lol, feels like we overhaul half our beliefs about prehistoric life every couple years, exciting stuff.
Those things in the movie are none of those things, though. In the books they were supposed to be Kronosaurs, but these are just completely made up fictional animals.
@@CryosisOfficial of course, those creature are all GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms), so they are not truly dinosaurs or another back-to-life extinct reptiles. But my point is, the common people see a pterodactyl, a Dimetrodon or a plesiosaur and think they were flying or marine dinosaurs. By the way, Kronosaurus (contentious genus) was a pliosaur, which belongs to the superorder Sauropterygia.
Although this movie was fun and threw in a lot of wild scenarios, I miss how the first movie handled its serious emotional moments. While I realize the pressure was on for the characters to keep moving, I wish we could’ve seen more emotional depth around them, especially for MeiYing’s character as a 14 year old who should be dealing with the mixed emotions of getting to see deep beneath the sea like her mother while also witnessing people being eaten and imploding before her eyes. I don’t think she or anyone else has to take a total shift into being completely fragile but seeing more emotional vulnerability would have added a lot; I think there was a way to show the gravity of what was going on and how it’s affecting the characters, while still keeping the nonstop crazy action and not affecting runtime by much. I also wish the villains weren’t as cartoonishly evil. While corporate greed is a believable evil and really common in the monster movie genre, their bland motive just felt uninspiring and forgettable, especially given that the first movie handled its greed-fueled character in a much less stereotypical manner. As it is, while I was still rooting for the characters, seeing so many survive and seem so unaffected by their experience kinda made me enjoy the movie less than the first, since there seemed to be much more genuine heart to the characters in that one. I will also say that I like that DJ had growth between the two films and became an action hero in his own right, as a result of learning from the events of the first movie (events that a lot of the other characters didn’t seem to learn from). I also kind of wish one of the central messages from the first film “it’s about who you *can* save” was more prevalent, though I realize the villains of this one made it not as applicable of a phrase
I’m with Stella, I have a fear of the ocean or large expanses of water and Claustrophobia so… this was at times was hard to watch . Definitely better than Meg 1 for me. Thank you for the great reaction as per..💕
It's worth noting that The Tyrannosaurus Rex and Megalodon are separated by around 47 million years. These animals never existed at the same time, I know movies like this are supposed to just be dumb fun, but the general lack of detail attention really emphasizes the "dumb" part.
its the opening scene from the first book. actually, the cover of the re-released version of the book that came out in the early 2000s was a cgi render of that scene from the book.
I love these movies honestly I love anything Jason is in even his ridiculous action packed movies he has so much fun with these you ignore all the impossible stuff he’s doing these aren’t to be taken seriously. this was pure fun, action, and comedy I love they didn’t take it seriously sometimes it’s better just to be entertaining lol.
Finally with October coming in two weeks and now that you will be doing _Annihilation_ you think all 4 will react to the following spooky and scary films such as _The Witches (1990), Casper, Monster House, Arachnophobia, Haunted Mansion (2003), Five Nights at Freddy’s, Crimson Peak, Van Helsing, Happy Death Day 1-2,_ and/or _The Mummy?_
You should check out Ray Harryhausen movies, like The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad, Jason And The Argonauts 1963, 20 Million Miles To Earth 1957, The Valley Of Gwangi 1969, The Golden Voyage Of Sinbad 1973, Sinbad And The Eye Of The Tiger 1977, and Clash Of The Titans 1981.
Jason and the all the Sinbad movies absolutely rock. Definitely worth them watching to consider how monster special effects evolved. The medusa gave me nightmares as a kid ;-0
That would be great; viewing movies in the history of Special Effects and their influence on well known directors. Though I wonder. . .will they ever watch those movies? I worry that newer generations may not give Harryhausen the recognition he deserves because everyone else are watching Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Jaws, Jurassic Park, The Terminator, Ghostbusters, etc.
@@travisrygg3317 Yes, I agree a lot of reactors lean to current releases. I guess there is a juggling act to be done with new releases, contemporary and classics and who their channel's likely audience is. I love their enthusiasm for movies which keeps me watching. I forget sometimes that my 40+ years of viewing means the next gen have a heck of a lot of catching up to do on classics and only so many hrs in a day 😁 I do hope they will try and squeeze a handful of them in at some point. Metropolis definitely needs a viewing, always blows my mind how early it was made.
This movie gives the same feelings as Tremors, in that its a goofy 'bad' monster movie but its just so much fun. This is a movie you watch with friends on a Friday night, while snacking and drinking.
Imo, this movie knew it’s wasn’t Jaws so it went into the fun, crazy direction. However I do say there was a more serious tone in the first act with the underwater scenes. Once they get back into the station is where any bit of seriousness gets tossed out.
Hey guys I'm so happy I got to see your reaction to Meg one and now Meg 2🦈🦈🦈🐙 Also to answer your question yes the little girl is the same girl from the first movie she's all grown up now I'm so happy they brought her back And so happy to see Jason Jonas fighting more megs NTJ was really cool learning how to swim and fight and shooting his own gun🔫
Absolutely LOVED this film. the main reason I was hyped for them doing a sequel was because i am a huge fan of the books, and Angel is my favorite part of the series so i was SO happy they kept her in the film (i didn't mind that they changed her name to Haiqi). in the book it was alot less ambiguous with her. she had been raised in captivity like here, and she knew jonas. and there were scenes where she very obviously chooses not to kill jonas, and outright saves him in other scenes, like in this film with Jiuming. but i would be fine if it just became a running gag where she DOESN'T kill the main characters, but it looks like she just gets distracted by something else. the rest of the film was a blast, insane action, funny dialogue, self awareness and some really tense moments. I hope they continue with this series.
A very fun movie. Jason Statham still the cocky badass Englishman, TJ reminding me of L.L. Cool J from Deep Blue Sea and quite possibly the best character in the movie.
The opening scene for the movie, where the Meg starts eating the T Rex, is a big middle finger to Universal and JURASSIC PARK for making millions of dollars at the box office.
not so much a middle finger as a fun jab, but yeah, it ABSOLUTELY was a jab at the Jurassic park series. as said the opening scene here is the opening scene from the first book. and the first book was published in 97, the same year as The Lost World. infact, it came out just one month after the lost world opened in theaters. one of the review tag lines on the inside cover was even "Jurassic Shark". it had other references too. Pippin was a reference to the dog that apparently gets eaten in Jaws, also called pippin. and pippin was actually in the first book, it belonged to Jonas' ex-wife. and ended up in a similar situation.
54:41 Why do people keep saying he is holding the meg back with his foot ? In that scene (to me at least ) he is obviously just trying not to slide down the wet dock into its mouth. He is using it like a step off point or something
the sea floor walking scene in this one reminds me of another movie called "Underwater" which is another great watch. Its about a deep sea mining team that gets attacked by unknown creatures and have to escape back to the surface, a great suspenseful movie that not many people heard of because it got released in January of 2020.
Meg 1 is still my favorite but Meg 2 was just good in its own way as it was just fun🔥. I loved the tech and technology as a whole that was shown in this film as compared to the first one they leveled it up. Jason Statham is one of my favorite action stars and he was great and intense again in this film👍. Sergio Peris-Menchata was really good as the antagonist as well. I enjoyed the action final sequence in the film. Loved your reaction/analysis, take care, enjoy life, stay healthy and have a good one❤️
Honestly, the movies are very similar to the books. The books started out relatively grounded for a giant monster series and then proceeded to get more silly and stupid with each new iteration. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next novel or the third Meg movie is set in outer space…
This is silly but fun, Is it Statham at his best?!? No, but it is still Classic Statham! 😎 The mineral crusher fight scene is a call back nod to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom! 😉 I like the first one more but I like how they amped up the Action times 5 in this one! 🤩
Happy to see you resume on your group reactions after you last did one on your _2001: A Space Odyssey_ reaction three weeks ago and I wonder why you didn’t do more following your 2001 reaction for three weeks? Once again I enjoyed the reaction and I recommend to Hailey and Stella they will watch the following Science Fiction films (outside of the Terminator, Alien and Predator films) such as _Arrival_ and _Blade Runner: 2049_ (both films directed by Denis Villenueve who did _Dune_ which Hailey and Stella reacted to), the original _Blade Runner, ET: The Extra Terrestrial, Minority Report, Ready Player One, _The Matrix_ films and _AVATAR_ (including its sequel, _The Way of Water)_ In addition, I hope all four of you will look into the live-action _One Piece_ series cause you’re completely missing out on the series and just a week ago the show was renewed for another season.
It was so fun watching you guys react to this one. This is one of those movies that you suspend all belief and just have fun watching this. Pure escapism. There's another underwater one you guys should watch, The Abyss (I love the director's cut of this one.).
I just knew the uncle was going to die with his recklessness 😂😂😂 I originally didn’t care to see this because the trailer alone looked way more goofy than the first but overall it was a fun mindless watch
When The Transporter goes head to head against of Jaws' bigger prehistoric ancestors while riding a jet ski atop an ocean wave and brandishing a sword, you know it's gonna be epic!!!!😤
Watched this one in Dolby Cinema at AMC. The opening scene is from the first in the MEG novel series. Would've been cooler to see in the first film. Like the first film, it's another big budget B-movie. But it pulls from one direction to another. It wants to be fun, action packed and suspenseful. But takes a stroll through some serious drama (like it or not). Twists and turns with the human characters and just having to deal with the creatures from the treach The effects are pretty good. Every creature including the Megalodon(s) look formidable. Another smash for Statham ($390 mil worldwide) plus he returns for Expendables 4 in September. MEG 3 is definitely going to happen.
The fact that you said a random Amphibian is a human relative baffles me seems like you just read a random shady article and went off. And not just humans, modern day humans And they're definitely not ichthyostega. They're just an unknown species of Crocodilians. Stop giving false info.
They're not supposed to be anything. Some sites say they're based on Koreanosaurus (which looks nothing alike), that they're Kronosaurs (which look nothing alike). There's nothing scientific about the Meg movies. There's fictional amphibians, an octopus ridiculously larger than any that ever existed and megalodons which are at least 3 times bigger than the biggest megalodon jaws/teeth ever found. Dinosaurs went extinct at least 40 million years before megalodon existed. Whatever those snappers are based on, only Kronosaurs lived during the late Cretaceous, together with T-Rex, but Kronosaurs are marine reptiles, not amphibians. Nothing in these movies is even remotely accurate and that's not the point of it either. It's just supposed to be brainless, ridiculous fun.
No. They dont resemble any real life animal, at least not any semi-aquatic nor deep sea ones. Theyre just a science fiction creature made for the movie. And saying something that went extinct before dinosaurs were a thing is related to MODERN DAY humans? Nah, we are more related to Trex or Bananas.
I hope the next movie that you guys would like to watch is (underwater)2020. Now that’s a real horror movie because basically I’m afraid of being under water
12:06 when the girl says “do you miss your mom big fish?” She’s referring to the Meg from the last movie, the first one is the father (killed by the poison) and second Meg is the mother (stabbed in the eye) of the Haiqi
If I'm correct, Haiqi is the shark we saw swimming out of the female Megalodon's mouth at the end of the first film as it was being eaten by all the other sharks. Which means that she is the daughter of the female Meg in that film, which also means that she is the film's version of the Megalodon known as "Angel" in the books.
I liked the film. The craziest thing was that a really good friend of mine watched this with me when it came out and realized we saw Meg 1 exactly 5 years prior to the date! We both enjoyed the film. Very popcorn style which is fine. But the first had more emotional depth with the characters and felt more complete compaired with this one. I think if they were able to make the villans more personal with our characters and have a bit more emoitional depth with Jason, his now new kid, and the uncle could have made this movie better than the first. Meg isn't mindblowing but the first felt more solid. Love yalls reaction and was fun to watch Meg 2 again.
Since all of y’all are watching monster movies, y’all should watch Cloverfield right after y’all watch Annihilation, the movie is both good and nerve racking..

What is your favorite sea creature?
Orcas
My favorite are whales but my favorite creepy looking creatures are goblin sharks.
moray eel
Difficult to choose just one, but Livyatan, Kronosaurus and Kaikaifilu are up there. A modern animal would be the Bull Shark.
Dolphins and Whales but have a fondness for Sharks.

Exactly, it knows its just simple fun and doesn't try too hard so it works 😅😊
I've never seen such a bad, trash pile of crap in my life. And I loved it lol
Its great when movies, even though utterly stupid, are just fun with no preaching or scolding the audience. Makes a nice change.
I agree both movies are that but this one was just way less satisfying for me, much preferred the first one. But I did love some of the jokes in this one so it works, but I found myself a bit bored at many points. Maybe I just wanted more shark action, I am a simple man.
Obviously it's suppose to be a fun popcorn movie. It's just that one person's "fun" is another persons "pile of shit"
This is how I approach every movie I watch. Hasn't failed yet.
Stella: "That's what he's cute little backpack is aww."
Pulls out a gun from the backpack

With Stella’s deep sea claustrophobia you guys NEED to watch the 47 Meters Down movies, it will be highly enjoyable for us the viewers 😂
plus 47 Meters is a much better movie than any of The Meg
The first 47m down is actually so good! The second was eh for me. Id love to see them do that.

47 Metres Down is a complete waste of time, and that's BEFORE you find out one third of the movie is a lie
This franchise knows it’s bad and unintentionally hilarious. It’s our generation of camp classics.
I think it should win an Oscar for shits and giggles.

Good to know that there are people who recognize the classics and not just bringing up SyFy flicks👍
probably an homage, tbh. lots of little nods to other films here.
The only way this movie could be more over the top would be if they ran into Megatron down there.
Like what the group walking to the station one of them says hey guys look a giant robot
I think mechalodon would be better
Just a clarification: there weren't sea dinosaurs: mosasaurs, plesiosaurs and others belong to an extinct group called Sauropterygia. Greetings.

watching this in the theater the jump scares was much worse but still a great witnessing it though.
The last thirty minutes of the film are a huge chomperfest. Took a long time to get there though.
Yes, but i think it´s worth the wait.
Nice call back to The Abyss with the swim from lock to lock and fight killer right after.
Having dinosaurs in the Meg 2 movie is very incredible.
I love how Stella's face expresses what I'm thinking.
Dumb stupid...wtf? 🤣
This is like Shark ado but wayyy better. I love that it’s “terrible” and not realistic since it’s so entertaining. DJ killed it 😂
True. I thought all the Sharknado's were entertaining lol always enjoyed seeing who would cameo next.

The opening scene for the movie, where the Meg starts eating the T Rex, is a big middle finger to Universal and JURASSIC PARK for making millions of dollars at the box office.
It’s actually a scene directly out of the first novel, which came out in the mid 90s
not so much a middle finger as a fun jab, but yeah, it ABSOLUTELY was a jab at the Jurassic park series. as said the opening scene here is the opening scene from the first book. and the first book was published in 97, the same year as The Lost World. infact, it came out just one month after the lost world opened in theaters. one of the review tag lines on the inside cover was even "Jurassic Shark".
it had other references too. Pippin was a reference to the dog that apparently gets eaten in Jaws, also called pippin. and pippin was actually in the first book, it belonged to Jonas' ex-wife. and ended up in a similar situation.
(At 29:18) unless you have a strong set of lungs… that wouldn't be recommended, unless you want them to collapse.
(At 43:20) He wasn't there with his father, sister, or niece last time.
I personally like the first movie better.
54:41 Why do people keep saying he is holding the meg back with his foot ? In that scene (to me at least ) he is obviously just trying not to slide down the wet dock into its mouth. He is using it like a step off point or something
the sea floor walking scene in this one reminds me of another movie called "Underwater" which is another great watch. Its about a deep sea mining team that gets attacked by unknown creatures and have to escape back to the surface, a great suspenseful movie that not many people heard of because it got released in January of 2020.
Meg 1 is still my favorite but Meg 2 was just good in its own way as it was just fun🔥. I loved the tech and technology as a whole that was shown in this film as compared to the first one they leveled it up. Jason Statham is one of my favorite action stars and he was great and intense again in this film👍. Sergio Peris-Menchata was really good as the antagonist as well. I enjoyed the action final sequence in the film. Loved your reaction/analysis, take care, enjoy life, stay healthy and have a good one❤️
I was waiting for this movie reaction for ages!!! ❤
When I saw this in theatres the part with the eel scared the crap out of me.
Honestly, the movies are very similar to the books. The books started out relatively grounded for a giant monster series and then proceeded to get more silly and stupid with each new iteration. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next novel or the third Meg movie is set in outer space…
Yay I been waiting for this reaction 😊
You are not the only one 🙂
(At 13:25) Y'all failed to notice a small 80 ft ancient great white shark escaped last night?
This is silly but fun, Is it Statham at his best?!? No, but it is still Classic Statham! 😎 The mineral crusher fight scene is a call back nod to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom! 😉 I like the first one more but I like how they amped up the Action times 5 in this one! 🤩
I think you guys should watch the cave 2005 if you haven’t seen it
3:07 - 3:19 Movie Writers: Write that down! write that down!
Happy to see you resume on your group reactions after you last did one on your _2001: A Space Odyssey_ reaction three weeks ago and I wonder why you didn’t do more following your 2001 reaction for three weeks?
Once again I enjoyed the reaction and I recommend to Hailey and Stella they will watch the following Science Fiction films (outside of the Terminator, Alien and Predator films) such as _Arrival_ and _Blade Runner: 2049_ (both films directed by Denis Villenueve who did _Dune_ which Hailey and Stella reacted to), the original _Blade Runner, ET: The Extra Terrestrial, Minority Report, Ready Player One, _The Matrix_ films and _AVATAR_ (including its sequel, _The Way of Water)_
In addition, I hope all four of you will look into the live-action _One Piece_ series cause you’re completely missing out on the series and just a week ago the show was renewed for another season.
It's just such a fun movie, absolutely wild and dumb but turn your brain off fun.
It was so fun watching you guys react to this one. This is one of those movies that you suspend all belief and just have fun watching this. Pure escapism.
There's another underwater one you guys should watch, The Abyss (I love the director's cut of this one.).
I just knew the uncle was going to die with his recklessness 😂😂😂 I originally didn’t care to see this because the trailer alone looked way more goofy than the first but overall it was a fun mindless watch
Rambo, jaws, dumb & dumber, jurrassic park, betrayal, romance, family, comedy, & mystery. Here, I thought bollywood was wild & crazy🤣
I knew you guys would enjoy this movie when it got to “fun island” 😂 I loved watching that part in the cinema with a crowd.
When The Transporter goes head to head against of Jaws' bigger prehistoric ancestors while riding a jet ski atop an ocean wave and brandishing a sword, you know it's gonna be epic!!!!😤
That was.... interesting. Did you guys lose a bet and were forced to watch this?
Great reaction
Did Stella always have that lip piercing? It really pops out and looks nice here
I kept thinking the girl on the left was in pain with her lip ring. I think you kids would like the Tremors movies.
*Underwater movie*
Stella has left the chat
Stella's face when she saw the apex meg, was mine... I said ok... I quit! lol
What the flying fack is my only reaction to this haha I like the action XD but it was little hmmm XD
Watched this one in Dolby Cinema at AMC.
The opening scene is from the first in the MEG novel series.
Would've been cooler to see in the first film.
Like the first film, it's another big budget B-movie.
But it pulls from one direction to another.
It wants to be fun, action packed and suspenseful.
But takes a stroll through some serious drama (like it or not).
Twists and turns with the human characters and just having to deal with the creatures from the treach
The effects are pretty good.
Every creature including the Megalodon(s) look formidable.
Another smash for Statham ($390 mil worldwide) plus he returns for Expendables 4 in September.
MEG 3 is definitely going to happen.
alot of those people got swallowed and slowly digested and i hate the thought of that
Ocean gate vibes from this... also love this movie.
Stella's eyes look sad. I hope she is okay ❤️
The amphibious creatures, nicknamed Chompers, are supposed to be Ichthyostega, a species of amphibian that's distantly related to modern day humans.
They went extinct before the dinosaurs even existed
The fact that you said a random Amphibian is a human relative baffles me seems like you just read a random shady article and went off. And not just humans, modern day humans
And they're definitely not ichthyostega. They're just an unknown species of Crocodilians. Stop giving false info.
Sure, I see the resemblance lol lol
They're not supposed to be anything. Some sites say they're based on Koreanosaurus (which looks nothing alike), that they're Kronosaurs (which look nothing alike).
There's nothing scientific about the Meg movies. There's fictional amphibians, an octopus ridiculously larger than any that ever existed and megalodons which are at least 3 times bigger than the biggest megalodon jaws/teeth ever found. Dinosaurs went extinct at least 40 million years before megalodon existed. Whatever those snappers are based on, only Kronosaurs lived during the late Cretaceous, together with T-Rex, but Kronosaurs are marine reptiles, not amphibians. Nothing in these movies is even remotely accurate and that's not the point of it either. It's just supposed to be brainless, ridiculous fun.
No. They dont resemble any real life animal, at least not any semi-aquatic nor deep sea ones. Theyre just a science fiction creature made for the movie.
And saying something that went extinct before dinosaurs were a thing is related to MODERN DAY humans? Nah, we are more related to Trex or Bananas.
I hope the next movie that you guys would like to watch is (underwater)2020. Now that’s a real horror movie because basically I’m afraid of being under water
12:06 when the girl says “do you miss your mom big fish?” She’s referring to the Meg from the last movie, the first one is the father (killed by the poison) and second Meg is the mother (stabbed in the eye) of the Haiqi
So now the question is: Has Stella ever read/seen The Magicians? Her love of Pressure calls for it!
If I'm correct, Haiqi is the shark we saw swimming out of the female Megalodon's mouth at the end of the first film as it was being eaten by all the other sharks. Which means that she is the daughter of the female Meg in that film, which also means that she is the film's version of the Megalodon known as "Angel" in the books.
Nahhh this was how you do an insane sequel to an already insane first film and it worked well.
Yes it’s the same child actress but older
Jiuming has like the biggest plot armor I have seen in live movie.
I just watched it hahahaha it's so funny. and.... I didn't expect the plot. I needed a lightwight movie after the horror XD
You guys need to look up the book series. This turns into a lot more than a shark movie.
I liked the film. The craziest thing was that a really good friend of mine watched this with me when it came out and realized we saw Meg 1 exactly 5 years prior to the date! We both enjoyed the film. Very popcorn style which is fine. But the first had more emotional depth with the characters and felt more complete compaired with this one. I think if they were able to make the villans more personal with our characters and have a bit more emoitional depth with Jason, his now new kid, and the uncle could have made this movie better than the first. Meg isn't mindblowing but the first felt more solid. Love yalls reaction and was fun to watch Meg 2 again.
I have a feeling that the Meg (series, maybe?) being the modern version of the Sharknado series
even if it not him, she owns your channel. she's too beautiful and honest
Couldn't find any website that has the movie in HD and not recorded but imma watch this with you guys
I think the shark that killed the squid was Haiqi.
this movie series was originally a book series. the books are so much better, and go really in depth on the science stuff. super cool stuff.
Since all of y’all are watching monster movies, y’all should watch Cloverfield right after y’all watch Annihilation, the movie is both good and nerve racking..
(At 24:17) Zeus: release the kraken!
