@@soapfrost1418 agreed
Merry Christmas! I look forward to seeing what you do in 2022.
Have you seen The Fly 2 1989?
Merry Christmas
I can respect when a movie isn't trying to be pretentious, and knows exactly what it is
...yeah. s#!t
I have troubles with respecting your wit... :D
dog sh!+?
The issue is that this movie was a adaptation of a book who did took itself seriously. It could have been so much better...
Fun Fact: A sequel titled “Meg 2: The Trench” has already been confirmed to be happening. It’ll be directed by Ben Wheatley, possibly have an R rating, and is supposed to start filming in January next year.
Sorry to hear that. It'll be ANOTHER ruined story in comparison to the book. The book IS great. Read that. ✌️
@@KOLDBLU3ST33L As someone who has both seen the movie and read the books, you’re putting the books on a much higher pedestal than they deserve. The books are a lot of fun to read, but they don’t exactly have any substantial qualities that would place them on a higher tier of quality than this movie.
I read something saying Alten got to read an early draft of the script and he said it'll be dark, gripping, have potential for an R rating.
Personally I hope we get a look at a live action version of Alten's Kronosaurus.
It wint be r rated. They always say itll movies will be r rated but they never R ;)
@@blueturret5596 eh I'd say regardless of the bad parts of the books they are definitely better than this film in a ton of ways
sometimes i enjoy a thought provoking tour of the mind movie and other times i need to just watch a big dumb movie about an improbable giant murder shark and this one didn’t disappoint
Same,
MEG holds a special spot in my heart ❤️
I went into this movie with zero expectations and was on like 3-4 hours of sleep. Honestly, it’s pretty enjoyable if you turn your brain off and go in wanting a fun movie
We need movies like this!
Turn brain off and gawck at pretty people. Got it!
This movie is the definition of “dumb fun”
and i love every minute of it 😂
I love how a creature that's always lived in complete darkness is fine with bright lights and coming out during the day in the shallows.
Another book element ignored
I actually really liked the movie. It was an awesome and enjoyable movie. Also that Meg CGI is gorgeous
You must be very simple minded
@@EatChipsNow you must be so cool and smart man
I agree but it seems like good cgi isn’t very hard to come by nowadays lol
I have troubles respecting your wit.. :D
@@EatChipsNow HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA
I'd think a more grounded Megalodon film would have some interesting things to say, it probably wouldn't be half as ferocious as its fictional representations, and would be more about protecting the animal.
I didn’t know this was based on a book when I saw the trailer, but when I did watch the trailer I thought the idea was hilarious. There was absolutely no way an ancient shark can beat Jason Statham. I’m glad I was correct when I watched the movie while on vacation in Darwin, NT, Australia.
The books are bangin (im no reader so take it from me) i feel like if the movie were more accurate to the books it wouldve been good enough for sequels
This movie was more enjoyable than I thought it would.
In my book, this is the most formulaic greatest B movie of all time. I put it on whenever I need background noise or just mindless fun. And every time, I end up with the Thai version of "Hey Mickey" stuck in my head for days.
In one hand all biologists and paleontologists agree on the fact that megalodons are indeed extinct *on the other hand* we literally find larger great white shark specimens remains that is clearly eaten by something other than orcas or colossal squids
I've always flirted with the idea that we just can't go deep enough to find them anymore. Like they've gone so deep in the ocean that there's no way to actually see 1 alive.
Well, we barely scratch the surface/depth of the ocean. So there’s a possibility that they may still exist. Perhaps even bigger than before.
@@quadryjohnson2099 as far as we learned all known Megalodon populations actually lived throughout the warmer seas with their prey items several extinct whale species when their prey all gone so do they althought there could be several gargantuan colossal shark species that adapted to thrive on deep water that arent even known yet
There are so many things in the deep ocean we don't know about it could just be some undiscovered apex predator that has nothing to do with megalodons.
probably just a bigger elusive orca or a sperm whale that has a taste for sharks
I remember seeing it the summer it came out and while it wasn't gonna be a movie that would win an Oscar it was still a good way to enjoy a bit of summer fun after some hectic work hours.
I'm a huge fan of the novels and although the movie greatly differs from the book, I still enjoyed it.
It's not the movie I wanted, so many parts of the book would have made for awesome set pieces, the surfers, the Nautilus and the Chopper attack for instance. I still had fun and wasn't mad that it was the movie I got.
I dont care what people said about this movie, shark movies arent realistic anyway but I really enjoyed it. Its not deep blue sea but its still fun to watch :D
For the life of me, I never understand why Mega predators would try and expend so much energy trying to eat something that amounts to a french fry.
I kind of want you to cover the bad shark movies now. Like the sharknado series and the X-shark movies (ghost-shark, land-shark etc) not so much the plot but how each seems to try and top it’s predecessors with ridiculousness.
Definitely a guilty pleasure film for me. If it's on TNT, I'll watch it regardless of where it is as in the movie.
I've read all of the Meg series from Alten to date, so I was pleased when this movie was finally green lit from production hell.
It would have been better if they kept the meg being frail to bright light in the film we could have seen more of it hunting and attacking in the night
Once they said Jason Statham was in the movie, I was hooked 🤣. Everyone else is theatrical gravy on top an entertaining meal. Good movie and people all around :)
Honestly, if someone makes a movie that's based underwater and WANT it to be scary, look no further than Subnautica. Only thing is they need to stick to everything that made it so good and still scared players shitless 3 years later.
Merry Christmas FilmComicsExplined and everyone!☃️🎄
Merry Christmas!
The movies tone was si weird. Like, when old mate falls in the water after they kill the smaller Meg, he's laughing and having fun. Meanwhile, his friend died to the the thing like hours earlier.
One of the only RUclipsr's videos I watch until the end.
I kinda loved this movie. It's such a great monster movie.
In real life, a giant shark like Megalodon would never survive in today's Oceans due to all the chemicals and pollutants dump into the water supply, and even warmer temperatures is what caused the Meg's extinction. Also, the Meg would actually liquify if it tried to swim from the Mariana Trench, which would cause it to implode.
It would die while getting to Mariana Trench in the first place.
Well the shark actually roamed most of the oceans like the pacific atlantic and other oceans where the no trash and chemicals were at
Not only that, but the whales alive today are capable of defending themselves and even out speeding a Megalodon.
The shark would also face serious competition with smaller predators (great whites and orca) and even the fact that some people would just hunt it for the fins.

the books were FAR better. could you cover those sometime?
The trailer was so good!
And then came the movie Wich had a light tone and the PG-13 rating made it even more tame.
Imagine a dark terrifying version of this?!
We can hope that one day we get a real Meg horror movie.
I didn't know that they director made the national treasure movies, but it makes sense... Sigh!
This is one of those movies you can play when the internet is down or when you want something playing while you fall asleep.
I really enjoyed The Meg. Its a lot of fun!
Loved the film. The film solded itself, staham punches a shark but how
It would be cool if there’s a glowing shark in The Meg 2
I wonder how the rest of the series is going, are we going to fight the kraken!
I’d pay to see this. Let’s make it happen!
MEG: My movie is more fun than yours
MOSASAURUS: My movie will be having it's third installment soon
JAWS: Your movies sucked. Mine remains the best even after more than 30 years had passed.
This is a Great movie probably one of my favorite shark movies of all time 💜💜💜
The Meg is great, but I wish for the second movie be a bit more serious.
Happy Christmas everyone
The book MEG was actually really really good. Nothing like the movie.
I revisit this book on all my devices with regularity. Love it!
Great video like always! That was such a fun movie. On another subject, man you look like Giancarlo Esposito in your intro to the videos! FilmPollosExplained!
Christmas came early today.
Merry Christmas!
That scene with the baby whale did made me cry later that night.
I enjoyed he meg more then most people I thought it was a fun popcorn flick with two great leads . Even know I would have loved to have see Eli Roth vision of the Meg a hard r shark movie
Hear me out, Sharknado should be called Sharkacane.
Best shark movie in recent times.
It was entertaining if so completely predictable. I think the makes were aware of how silly it was and didn't take I too seriously.
I always just labeled this as "Michael Bay's Jaws"
Another awesome video, Knee Ant!
Happy Holidays Niyat and to your family 🎄
Few missed opportunities in the film but its good fun, isn't that why we watch movies anyway
Merry Christmas FlimComicsExplained!
As a fan of the predator that hasn't needed to evolve over millenia I loved it.
I love the meg movie and the meg books
Yea cause that's how you put a tracker on a shark.... 😆
This movie is brainless, endless, thrill. I just watched it yesterday with my wife. She loved the non stop action. One thing they did do well is make a ridiculous action movie without too many cringy lines.
Sharknando was a banger man 😂😂
The meg was a great movie worth watching. I was bummed that they killed Hiro Nakamura
I love the movie, but you should defo check the novels
Absolutely!
Deep Blue Sea and The Meg are my favorite ridiculous animal movies
I loved every mininute of this movie
Hey Happy Holidays!
One thing I would love to see from the channel is some Witcher content, especially with season 2 just dropping. You could do various monsters, the Witchers themselves, Ciri's background, etc.
Merry Christmas and all the best for the 2022 for you and your loved ones! 🎄❤️
Sharknado definitely the benchmark here 😜
Merry Christmas everyone
Merry Christmas!
Honestly I was more scared of the giant squid in the movie, that thing has limbs to yoink people straight off a boat.
Happy Holidays!!!
Great vid man. Comment for the algorithm.
Much appreciated!
👍. I Absolutely Love this Movie and Book Series.
I waited 20years to watch this movie.. I was there when the early rumors online round 2003, being in and out of production all the way to when Eli Roth was supposed to make it.. I don't hate this but that they dropped the two biggest scenes from the book did hurt me
This movie just feels like if they Michael Bayed "Deep Blue Sea". My sister insisted that we go see this movie in 4D and admittedly, it was fun.
But once you get home, you realize that without the 4D experience, this movie has no real substance to stand on.
Also, I was cringing the entire time Ruby Rose was in a scene. Her body language looked so unnatural and felt like she was trying way too hard to be aloof and edgy.
Merry Christmas to everyone here!!
Agree, I mean yeah it was a fun action movie but I was hoping for more of a horror.
Happy Christmas bro😄
Merry Christmas mate!
could you do video on anaconda movie franchise such as Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid 2004 or the movie arachnophobia
When you get a chance can you do a video about Antlers?
Bait is a good film. Not great, but a fun little shark movie.
Thanks bro, much needed :)
Did this get deleted sir? I could swear I've seen this video before. Ah well, not complaining, I appreciate everything you put out. 👌
Merry Christmas man. Y’all be safe and see your families. I
Cool video cooler beans
he did it twice in the movie lol. the big one and the little one
please do an ep on the silent sea!! ending explained wouldnt go a'miss lol
This would have been a great movie it Eli Roth made it
Wait the book had a sequel I'd thought it was a one done when I read it back in school
Such a great movie. One of those that should just be left to, just be….
Tho i never read the novels, i can certainly say i had fun with this flick. And alongside The Shallows and Deep Blue Sea, The Meg is a worthy shark film, even if it's a glorified B-movie IMO
Please dissect the Alien shoppers in the new Black Friday movie
They need a bigger boat
Been waiting for a WTF happened to this movie? from JOBLO Video.
Why nothing bad really happened on set with Jon Turteltaub and the studio on set
I like the movie.
Took the family to see this one just for kicks. It wasn’t complete garbage. Almost.
Sharknado isn’t bad it’s great
I remember reading the novel in high school and was a little surprised they made this into a movie. I knew it was going to be bad but since I read the book I figured, why not. Compared with the novel, I was a little disappointed with the ending they went with.
I’ve read a couple of the books (I started in the middle) but if I remember right they combined pieces of the first and second books to make the movie
@@samfranklin9339 Pretty sure I read the first two (not too sure if there were any more sequels after that), but that was back in high school so I barely remember anything.
Anyway, Merry Christmas ⛄🎄. I enjoyed this B movie Sci-fi Action Adventure that took 15 years to make.
Merry Christmas!
Could you make a video about Muzan Kibutsuji known as the Demon King from Demon Slayer?
You should do a video on the new matrix film
Do a video on Lake Placid
Can you do videos on the aliens from the movie battleship and Independence Day 2
Curious, how were they gonna contain the baby meg?
Love the title of the video 🤣👍
Thanks!
@@filmcomicsexplained 👍 Merry Christmas have a good one
Merry Christmas!
