I dont care how some people view the first movie i absolutely loved it. A super dumb but super fun action movie with sharks that knows exactly what it is.
I went with my indian parents, who basically just watch bollywood, dont watch english stuff, and they had a blast. Thats all i wanted, so all in all a fun exper
There are a total of SEVEN books in Steve Alten's Meg series, with book EIGHT releasing later this year. So it was pretty much inevitable that they were going to make the sequels since the first one did so well.
I love when thy bring back original characters in sequels! I'm here for it. This is one of those movies, you let go of reality, and get lost In suspension of disbelief!
my only disappointment with this is that it doesn't look like Angel is in this. she was one of my favorite things in the book series. I know they want batshit insane, but whats more batshit insane then having a goodguy shark fighting on the human's side in underwater kaiju battles? for context, in the book she's the daughter of the meg from the first book. the meg in the first book had been pregnant and they capture her just after she's born at the end of that book and raise her in captivity as an amusement park attraction. the plot of the second book is her escaping, but then other creatures show up.
This looks FUN....I mean really..did Independence Day I and II take itself seriously? These movies are sheer escapism! Give me a good Statham movie any day...and this seems to fit the bill. Plus the SPX's look fairly good....not Avatar grade..but watchable. August seems like a decent month for something like this....Must say it has to be better than Pacific Rim II. Nice reaction as usual....keep it up.
The first ID was a rather serious, grounded sci-fi blockbuster with a bit of comedic relief thrown in. The second film was absolute dogshit in comparison, awful writing and pandering to a chinese audience made for a bad film.
Hey guys it's like just 5 years ago I saw your reaction to the 1st movie and now I get to see your reaction to the 1st trailer of the 2nd movie of the Meg the trench Comments so happy I got to see it !!
I think the trailer is pretty good but the first few seconds of it i had a huge problem with’ like the fact that the biggest Meg ever was able to jump out of the water so close to the island exactly where the T-Rex was standing in the shallow water’ there is absolutely no way any beach on earth would have a drop off that fast so close to the shore’
Attenborough really isn't reactor fare even when it concerns dinosaurs. To me the VFX of Prehistoric Planet was great, but it misses the edge that Kenneth Branagh brought to Walking With Dinosaurs in the 90s - Attenborough sounds just too calm and soft spoken to be talking about dinosaurs in general, but especially these days as he has to dial it back for health reasons.
Films doesn't always have to be oscar worthy writing. Sometimes it just have to be that film that'll make you forget your problems irl even for a little while. If fast and furious can get 20 films, what are some you guys complaining, Meg has only 2.
What's funny is I saw the t rex thing coming because that's EXACTLY how book 2 (Meg the trenches) opens. Meg eats t Rex. The rest of the movie...doesn't remotely look like the books lol. But - we should all just be here for the ride lol
So is another movie of sharks but now mixed with jurassic park... Two things which since two decades ago I've been wandering "ain't enough of that already?"
@@hypnos2434 What makes you believe I'm needing the advice of "don't watch it"? Or that I'm gonna spend my money on that? I never asked if you liked it or not. Because I ignored your existence (and I'm still not sure you're not a bot) Also because I'm very aware some people even like to eat their own excrement... Basically this is the ever made shark movie,with ever made jurassic park and the ever made 'mr I have a contract for how many hits I receive...' Because yes (every actor with that kind of contract use the same formula of making the same movie a million times with a different name) If you don't agree,that's okay! I'm not your mother and I had nothing to teach you about cinema or anything. But then don't bother appearing in my notifications like if you had anything to say.
It said on The cover of megladon rising that it was the sequel to meg cause it was offspring from the giant shark from the first the meg film maybe it was a follow up or a spinoff from the meg instead of meg
I just re read my message...and I just thought about Will Smith smacking an alien with his bare hands and him flying a completely otherworldly spacecraft the very first time..is no more cringeworthy than having Jason booting a Meg in the snot with his size 6 boot. On a third viewing...still looks like a great popcorn movie. Thanks for the thumbs up!
"The Meg 2": Warner Brothers follows "the syfy channel" with a "Giant Sharknado" series. The Discovery Channel's "Shark Week" made it impossible to try to watch any of the "Sharknado" movies without going LOL. Instead of this CGI mess, I'll look for "Mermaids: The Body Found" (2012), which stated it is a Mokumentary, up front. Mr. Mr. also points out why this movie is "chum." since it redoes every "Jaws" and shark movie trope ever seen. Mermaid jerky, anyone?;)
@@IdkIdk-vm4dm I would call that an interesting twist on a monster movie, if humans were safe but the oceans were being destroyed. Sometimes all you need is a little twist for a movie to go from "Scary monster eating people" to "Allegory for the oceans on the brink of collapse", and having a much better movie.
The megalodon didn't appear in the fossil record until 20 million years ago, about 45-46 million years after the Cretaceous ended. It's evolutionary ancestors would have been eaten by the various sea dwelling dinos like icthyosaurs, plesiosaurs and mososaurs before they could achieve such a great size. Like mammals they required the absence of large dinosaurs to reach the top of the oceans food chain.
Megalodon lived millions of years AFTER dinosaurs and went extinct 3 millions years ago, because of beginning of the last ice age and whales (their prey) moving to colder polar waters and also probably because of appearance of orcas as new apex predators.
To be honest, I really wanted to like the first one. I was hoping for more of...well.....THIS! So, despite the disappointment (to me) that was the first film, this one looks like its embracing its ridiculousness, and that will make it a bit more fun for me.
Dafuq are they talking about with that "for 65 million years" title card? T-rex was around less than 3 million years, megaladon for 13 million years. Dinos died 65 million years ago, that's not how long they were around. Do they not know what the word "for" means??
Also that megalodon only appears in the fossil record 20 million years ago, roughly 45-46 million years after the end Cretaceous extinction event that wiped out all but the avian dinosaurs. Also unless the Natural History Museum website is off they were around for 16.4 million years piror to extinction, but most dominant in the ocean ecosystem for 13 million years - possibly when the hyper predatory whale ancestors like Livyatan became dominant.
