React to the Spider-man Spider-Verse movies🙏 Across the Spider-Verse is literally the best movie that came out this year, and this is coming from a hard core Mission Impossible fan. 😂
what's really scary about the ocean is that we as humans only know about 10% of the Ocean it's the 90% of unknown that brings a cold shiver down one's spine.
I don't why but i laughed when that kid at the sea got so calm and ate his lollipop after the shark got distracted while everyone else was freaking out , it was like a reward for him 🤣
Pippet is the name of the dog that was in Jaws. I believe it was a black lab. It was just in one beach scene where some guy was calling for his missing dog. There was a stick floating in the water he was playing catch with. Here, to pay homage, the named that tiny little dog Pippet too.
This movie was really slept on. It's so funny and just the right balance of exciting and dramatic and it KNOWS the tropes. So you get the set up, the expectation, and then just the right amount of subversion.
You think so? I really disagree - it's got some great imagery, but this seems like a very self-serious movie to me. Pretty much all the main plot points are predictable, there aren't any clever twists. Sorry if you like it, I'm not trying to ruin it for you.
I like that while this movie has some of the outrageous and comedic moments that so many shark movies do, it also has grounded characters with heartfelt moments. Several of the deaths in this movie are able to succeed at making you feel sad for the characters
I remember reading this book after getting grounded and it was my fathers kind of big proud moment. I sentence my kid to his room for two weeks so he just starts reading; and reading a book called 'MEG' It took them 30 years to make it into a movie. Glad he made it from there to the theater. Miss ya pop.
Like many others have said, the dog was a nod to Jaws. My guess is that the dog survives because he was so small, he just got brushed aside by the wave rather than getting swallowed God i love watching Nikki's reactions (and watching Steven knowing she's going to react and watching/waiting for it himself😂😂)
Hi was so looking forward to the sequel, and I have to say I was a little let down. Which I don’t say very often but yeah, no I wish they had left it alone, or that the sequel have been better put together.
The Monterrey Bay Aquarium in CA has a viewing window so you can look into the ocean and see the wildlife from underwater, then walk out the door and onto the street. Much safer than an underwater rig in the middle of the ocean.
When Nikki stated her fears at the beginning of the reaction I immediately thought "They've GOT to do "The Abyss"! It's a terrific movie but Steven would probably have to do a little handholding. 💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙
The Abyss isn't scary per se, and it certainly doesn't have very many jump scares other than the obvious ones you can see coming a mile away. I think Nikki might have had an easier time with that one. Now a movie like, The Sphere or Deep Star Six, might be more fun for them to watch for scares lol Also if we really wanna freak Nikki out where she will NEVER go in the water again - they should watch Pirahna 3D lol
I lost a bet and had to watch Sharknado with my niece. The bet was only for the first ten minutes but I just kept watching. It was exactly as bad as expected but I ended up watching two sequels too. I highly recommend it for mindless entertainment and would love to watch you guys react to it. Did anyone else watch that movie?
I was bedridden for a week and forced to watch 1,2, and 3. Previously I had refused to watch them, so my kids took the opportunity to force me (even took the remote from me). I was pleasantly entertained at the camp of it.
Sharknado is a cinematic masterpiece. A work of art. I don't know how it didn't win several Oscars. 😂😂😂 seriously though, it's just a fun, over the top, hilarious movie.
Another recommendation (but NOT for your kids!) is 'Underwater' with Kristen Stewart. You guys would hate it but it is one of the best horror movies I've ever seen. Face your fears - I dare you to watch it! 😄
i just love how nikki freaks out when she's watching horror movies or the meg and Steven's laughing. it can be so funny. But great reaction. I just watched strays, which was so funny.
This is my favorite type of movie I went into this with really low expectations and ended up having a really fun time. The exact opposite of a lot of superhero movies lately.
So good to see you two react to this one! Here's hoping we'll put "King Arthur" (2004) and "Dragonheart" (1996) on the roster soon, they're great ones!
Ugh the sequel is HORRIBLE though. Even the special effects are a step down from this one, and don't get me started on the insanity that is "the plot" lol
Based on the 1997 novel of the same name by Steve Alten. A lot of directors were considered for the project between 2002 and 2015, which includes Eli Roth, Jan De Bont, and Guillermo Del Toro.
You guys should see the news, a couple days ago they discovered a huge tentacle thing in the deepest darkest ocean it looks like one of those face huggers from the movie Alien.
Hi Nikki and Steven I really love your reaction to the Meg movie🦈 It's my favorite shark movie and I hope you both watched the Meg 2 the trench next , Please tell us you're watching it next !!!!
Yeah I agree I love the Meg and the Meg 2 it's super good and I love DJ and it he keeps it hilarious but (Bait) It's actually my favorite shark movie this is a great second ❤😂
Omg! Me, too! I'm terrified of drowning. I'm petrified of deep water and going over bridges that go over deep water. Odd that I like watching under water scary stuff. And I agree, the ocean is horrifying. I could never work any ocean jobs.
bro i love watching movies w yall dude 🤣🤣 i swear we have the same reactions lol i love the meg bro its perfect for a friday movie night or a suprise film w the bros lmaooo im ready for the next one
In case no one else points it out, the portrayal of the Megalodon is far bigger than it was in real life. And if you watch the sequel, it was not around in the time of the Dinosaurs. And as a final word. Since the only evidence of it's existence are it's teeth. There is no evidence whatsoever that Megalodon resembles a Great White Shark. Which is what everyone assumes, since both have teeth which are triangular in shape and have serrated edges.
This movie (and the sequel) ignores sooo much basic science. For instance, you don't have to equalize air pressures when diving in a submarine. But you really have to just do a Frozen and let it go.
@@acdchook Like many other films about the ocean. Even documentaries on Discovery like to exaggerate. Very often, big studios play on tallasophobia. For me, after 2 years of studying the basics of hydrobiology at the University - It was a funny comedy tho.
the opening scene of the sequel is there because it was originally the opening scene of the first book, but they didn't use it for the movie and some people missed it being there.
This was actually the last movie I saw in the theater before Covid hit, and it was amazing. I jumped out of my seat so often my dad just kept laughing at me. Because some of those startling scenes when that shark is in your face in the theater it’s intense and who doesn’t love Jason Statham lol.
I Can't wait for you to see the sequel. it turns up the insanity to 11. This movie I had been waiting for literally over 20 years. the first book in the Meg series was published in the 90's and the author, Steve Alten, had been pushing hard for a film version to get made. Sadly every time it kept ending up in development hell. It got close to being made once, but then Deep Blue Sea came out, and not only stepped on this films toes, but also failed at the box office, which killed development. Finally they were able to get this made, and now a sequel, and hopefully the rest of the series gets made. I think the film does a good job of adapting the book. there are alot of changes, but most are either not that big of a deal, or in many cases, actually made the story better. the ex-wife character was changed completely. she was an utter b**** in the book, and you were glad when got eaten. (the dog pippin actually belonged to her in the book, and i THINK it survived, too, tho i could be wrong) the "twist" was kind of there. in the book it was originally jonas, and terry's brother that go to the trench (terry was what sunyin's character was named in the book, they made her and her family chinese for the film cause they funded the movie). they in the gliders that you see, tho they were tethered to the ship. they get attacked, the brother gets killed and the meg gets tangled in the wreckage of his sub as it gets pulled up the surface. just before hitting that layer is when the much larger meg comes in and starts eating the tangled one. the warm blood from the smaller meg protecting it from the colder water above the layer. thats how it gets free. the other change, which i wish they kept in this movie (tho its mentioned in the sequel), the reason the shark had been so ravenous was that it was a she, and she was pregnant. she gives birth just before the final confrontation, and the book ends with a scene of them capturing the baby (Angel) to take back to their oceanographic institute. Angel (named Haiqi in the sequel film) ends up being one of my favorite things in the series. I get why they cut the scene, because they weren't sure they were going to get to make a sequel, but it still would have been nice to see it in this film.
It's kind of funny you mentioned dolphins, they can actually be more aggressive than sharks and have been known to kill some and also try to um..."force themselves" on humans. Smaller sharks are much safer to swim with lol
I have a movie recommendation for you to react to: QUARANTINE (2008), a really cool Found Footage-style horror film, with intense, brutal moments and a disturbing ending, you're going to enjoy it.
Have you ever seen rec it is a copy of quarantine also really good I mean it follows quarantine to a tea Rec actually came first funny I thought quarantine was first
@@bloodblossom8435they prob recommend Quarantine over Rec because if i’m not mistaken Steven has slight dyslexia so reading the subtitles would suck for a Spanish film lol
Fun Fact: "Pippin" in the name of the original dog that got taken in Jaws. Also the little fat boy is supposed to represent the boy that got taken on the raft in the same movie.
Nikki for October: "The Towering Inferno" (1974) all star ensemble cast, no CGI "The Eiger Sanction" (1975) directed by Clint Eastwood, no CGI "Where Eagles Dare" (1968)
7:58 Nikki is 100% correct here. Imagine how you would react if you were chilling in your house and a shark walked into your living room. I'm totally Team Meg in these movies.
@@Zarab923 The ratio between humans killing sharks and sharks killing humans is literally ten million to one. Make no mistake, we are the villains on this planet.
@@SilentBob731correct! Humans kill an estimated 100 million sharks every year. That rounds out to almost 274,000 sharks every day, or over 11,000 sharks every hour, or about three sharks every second. So just think - during this reaction video, almost 11000 sharks were killed. Movies like Jaws and the Meg are fun for entertainment but also unfortunately feed this kind of behavior. 😢🦈
We adored the Mermaid series. It’s something else. I just loved the passion those people have, even though it’s kind of strange, but who’s to judge. To each his own. I don’t have that much passion about my job for sure. I did think this movie was a lot of fun. I expected it to be totally obnoxious but it surprised me. I’m kind of excited to see the next one. 😮
i think what makes movies like this even more scary is knowing that the "meg" was real at one point. they say there aren't anymore as big as the meg but we also have only searched 10% of our oceans sooo...you be the judge lol
Six years before this, a film called "Safe" came out. It had Jason Statham protecting a young Chinese girl being hunted by Chinese Triad, Russian Mafia, and corrupt cops. Great action film.
Watch "Phenomenon" 1996 starring John Travolta and "What Dreams May Come" 1998 starring the late, great Robin Williams. One right after the other but watch them in that order for the greatest emotional impact.
I love how they named the dog Pippin. The dog in JAWS was Pippin but he died when the Kintner boy got ate I think. This movie was surprisingly enjoyable. As soon as a kid or animal shows up Nikki's face always gets concerned and sad.😂❤
Fishing for shark fins has been going on for decades . They kill them just for the fins. It is a huge business, mostly in the Oriental. The shops there are full of thousands of fins.
Ok Nikki and Steve, I really want you guys to watch The Wrath Of Submarine. It was a shark week documentary that is now on TH-cam . A boat capsizes in South Africa IN SHARK ALLEY , but all the sharks disappear and this HUGE SHARK creates issues for rescuers. It acts WAY different than a usual great white shark. I definitely recommend it.
It's not the location or the me glad on that's the most frightening, but being surrounded by people who ignore the first rule of science... "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should".
Hey Nikki and Steven! Please watch Avatar the last airbender (TV show obviously not movie 😭🤣) It’s in the top 10 IMDB best shows (ranked 7th!!) among classics like GOT , breaking bad and the Sopranos! Definitely NOT a kids show and would love to see your reactions to the amazing character development
Nikki you’re not alone😭 octonauts taught me about the spook fish and it’s not nearly as cute as they made it🤣 also Claude the coconut crab being so sweet but also probably being the one that ate Amelia earheart is something I think about too often😭🤣

React to the Spider-man Spider-Verse movies🙏
Across the Spider-Verse is literally the best movie that came out this year, and this is coming from a hard core Mission Impossible fan. 😂
Another name for this movie is, ... Leviathan Wakes... (The Expanse)
what's really scary about the ocean is that we as humans only know about 10% of the Ocean it's the 90% of unknown that brings a cold shiver down one's spine.
I know Nikki was stressing, but I was laughing my ass off at her reactions....lol
I love that she’s so invested. LMAO 😂
We really need a curse counter for Nikki in movies such as this. :D
She cracks me up.
Her inner 5 year old woke up. 😂
Nikki freakouts are why I subscribed.
Toshi is such a hero without even a second thought he sacrificed his life, a short lived but definitely a memorable and respected character
Yep he's def one of the HEROES 😜 iykyk
"YETTA!!!"
I loved him in Hero's!!!
I always cry when “ Hiro” dies
I don't why but i laughed when that kid at the sea got so calm and ate his lollipop after the shark got distracted while everyone else was freaking out , it was like a reward for him 🤣
lmao
Oh yeh the kid with the lollipop 🤣🤣
watch fantastic beast and where to find them
He act as though nothing happened, maybe that's why it was so funny😂
The ocean is the embodiment of "Love it from a distance."
I have thalassophobia (fear of the ocean) and nothing scares me more than movies like this.
I love it.
that reminds me since summer seems to be one month off the calendar... lets go surfing!
Have you ever seen the abyss? Parts of that make me squirmy and it's only due to the sheer amount of water over their heads.
Same, also have thalassophobia, one of the reason I also decided to read the books
I also have thalasso, but, funnily enough, water in video games has always given me the most stress because I'm in direct control of what happens😂😭
I love your pfp 😭😭
Pippet is the name of the dog that was in Jaws. I believe it was a black lab. It was just in one beach scene where some guy was calling for his missing dog. There was a stick floating in the water he was playing catch with. Here, to pay homage, the named that tiny little dog Pippet too.
Except the dog in this film is called Pippin.
I think both dogs names were Pippin
I laughed my ass off when I first heard the bride calling the dog.
That's some bad hat, Harry
pippin was in the book, too. similar situation, but she was owned by the ex-wife there. with a bit of "role reversal" lol
I love the references from jaws, like the dog named pippin or the kids mom letting him go back into the water.
the kid's hat reminds me of the hat the mom wore, too. lol
You should watch the river ‐ a Jurassic park horror short film by ali awada.
This movie was really slept on. It's so funny and just the right balance of exciting and dramatic and it KNOWS the tropes. So you get the set up, the expectation, and then just the right amount of subversion.

Another good campy shark movie is Deep Blue Sea. Highly dramatic and really amplifies that possibility of drowning. Definitely recommend.
Deffo one the best best shark movie ever. It has it all
And LL Cool J
@@kimberlyjeanne9456also Samuel l Jackson
@@kimberlyjeanne9456 Deepest bluest
Helz yes! I second the recommendation for DEEP BLUE SEA.
(But ignore the sequels; they're awful. And not in a good way.)
I like that while this movie has some of the outrageous and comedic moments that so many shark movies do, it also has grounded characters with heartfelt moments. Several of the deaths in this movie are able to succeed at making you feel sad for the characters
Not gonna lie, I saw the thumbnail and immediately wanted to see Nikki's reaction to Pippin 😂

The dog doesn't die!
The Meg 2 just came out recently. I haven't seen it.
Pippin survived because she just kept swimming (ala Dory)

The Monterrey Bay Aquarium in CA has a viewing window so you can look into the ocean and see the wildlife from underwater, then walk out the door and onto the street. Much safer than an underwater rig in the middle of the ocean.
Man can't resist tapping the glass on the aquarium, metaphorically speaking.

Their Patreon decides what they watch. Popular vote is the way. What we want doesn't matter, lol.
its been a long long time but I think I remember liking the first one lol.
Another recommendation (but NOT for your kids!) is 'Underwater' with Kristen Stewart. You guys would hate it but it is one of the best horror movies I've ever seen. Face your fears - I dare you to watch it! 😄
I was lookin for this comment! It’s SO GOOD!
Definitely a good one for them to react to!!
yeah, i thought she did a great job in that movie. loved it.
I just watched it last night, I put my vote for it as well.
there's a second movie to this that came out this summer its called meg 2: the trench if you guys are interested .
i just love how nikki freaks out when she's watching horror movies or the meg and Steven's laughing. it can be so funny.
But great reaction. I just watched strays, which was so funny.
I like to think the dog slipped through the sharks teeth because he’s so tiny. Lol great review
This is my favorite type of movie I went into this with really low expectations and ended up having a really fun time. The exact opposite of a lot of superhero movies lately.
I love this movie and I hope the second one is just as good
The second one not as good as the first one but it dose have good moments
Oh see I thought 2 was better, it was more fun I guess. It took itself less seriously and was very entertaining
In the end it turned out much better than I expected. I will 100% admit that I dismissed it unfairly.
Don’t you worry Nikki. The second one is basically a mash up of the Meg, Jurassic park, and sharknado.
It was terrible
basically like the books. in one case, almost literally. lol
Rewatching this makes me appreciate Nikki's anxiety way more! lol
So good to see you two react to this one! Here's hoping we'll put "King Arthur" (2004) and "Dragonheart" (1996) on the roster soon, they're great ones!
OMG Dragonheart 😍
*Yeah, plus both have also great original scores.* 🎵🤘😈👍🎵🔥🔥🔥
King Arthur,now that's being cruel.
King Arthur is amazing!
I finally saw this just a few months ago and now I've seen the sequel too lol. Shark movies are always fun. 🦈

*I think I like "DEEP BLUE SEA" [ 1999 ] a lot more, but all over "THE MEG" is still okay. It is more on the funny side.* 📽📀
Yes please to "Sharknado" ( 2013 ), "Sharknado 2: The Second One" ( 2014 ), "Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!" ( 2015 ), "Sharknado: The 4th Awakens" ( 2016 ), "Sharknado 5: Global Swarming" ( 2017 ), and "The Last Sharknado: It's About Time" ( 2018 ) reactions.
And it's other spinoff films ( about fire spitting tarantulas ), "Lavalantula" ( 2015 ), "2 Lava 2 Lantula" ( 2016 ), and "Armageddon 2025" ( 2022 ) too.
This finaly is one of the best seasons finaly of all time !! It was priceless re-live the anxiety i felt by looking at your faces !! ❤
You are my goto guys for movie reactions .... just so good.
7:58 Nikki is 100% correct here. Imagine how you would react if you were chilling in your house and a shark walked into your living room.
I'm totally Team Meg in these movies.
we'd be in a lot of trouble if a shark entered our living room, ha!!
Yeah but we don’t exactly have the same physical presence as a shark ha
@@Zarab923 The ratio between humans killing sharks and sharks killing humans is literally ten million to one.
Make no mistake, we are the villains on this planet.
@@SilentBob731correct! Humans kill an estimated 100 million sharks every year. That rounds out to almost 274,000 sharks every day, or over 11,000 sharks every hour, or about three sharks every second. So just think - during this reaction video, almost 11000 sharks were killed. Movies like Jaws and the Meg are fun for entertainment but also unfortunately feed this kind of behavior. 😢🦈
We adored the Mermaid series. It’s something else. I just loved the passion those people have, even though it’s kind of strange, but who’s to judge. To each his own. I don’t have that much passion about my job for sure. I did think this movie was a lot of fun. I expected it to be totally obnoxious but it surprised me. I’m kind of excited to see the next one. 😮
homeboy didn't get eaten though , hes probably just chilling in the stomach sitting on the otther shark it ate. lol!!😂
i think what makes movies like this even more scary is knowing that the "meg" was real at one point. they say there aren't anymore as big as the meg but we also have only searched 10% of our oceans sooo...you be the judge lol
Six years before this, a film called "Safe" came out. It had Jason Statham protecting a young Chinese girl being hunted by Chinese Triad, Russian Mafia, and corrupt cops. Great action film.
Watch "Phenomenon" 1996 starring John Travolta and "What Dreams May Come" 1998 starring the late, great Robin Williams. One right after the other but watch them in that order for the greatest emotional impact.
Love Love Love this Movie❤❤❤ Can't wait to watch the 2nd one
This movie made me fall in love with Jason Statham lol and I love the sequel too!! Especially the return of Pippen 😂
Absolutely love Jason Statham, and this was my introduction to him as well
For Nikki's mental health, next movie you guys review should be a comedy. And nothing with height or water. lol.
I absolutely looove her reactions 🤣🤣🤣 My exact reactions when I watched this for the first time (yes I have seen it many times) And I love sharks 🤣🤣
I love how they named the dog Pippin. The dog in JAWS was Pippin but he died when the Kintner boy got ate I think. This movie was surprisingly enjoyable. As soon as a kid or animal shows up Nikki's face always gets concerned and sad.😂❤
Love this movie, miss just action packed Giant monster movies (that's not Godzilla related)
they need to watch the meg 2
Pippin..............aaaahhhhh got me rolling on the floor 😂😂😂
😂 love the reference to ‘Pipin’ the dog, from the dog in the first jaws movie 😂🦈
Fishing for shark fins has been going on for decades . They kill them just for the fins. It is a huge business, mostly in the Oriental. The shops there are full of thousands of fins.
Loved this reaction! Now you guys have to watch The Meg 2!
Anyone else catch the call backs to Jaws? Dog names were the same, little boy begging to go back into the water, and the shark dragging a dock.
20:57 "Hello,..name's Bruce." ~Finding Nemo.
You have a cat called Finan! That is the best thing ever! I love that 💗 I am such a fan of The Last Kingdom and Finan was always one of my favourites
I would so love to sit around and watch movies with you two! LOL
Meg rolled a natural one on it's attack roll.
Nikki has a big caring heart ❤️ I respect that
I'm 100% on board with Nikki!!!
Ok Nikki and Steve, I really want you guys to watch The Wrath Of Submarine. It was a shark week documentary that is now on TH-cam . A boat capsizes in South Africa IN SHARK ALLEY , but all the sharks disappear and this HUGE SHARK creates issues for rescuers. It acts WAY different than a usual great white shark. I definitely recommend it.
It's not the location or the me glad on that's the most frightening, but being surrounded by people who ignore the first rule of science... "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should".
This movie for whatever reason is such a fun, easy watch. Not the greatest by any stretch, but damn is it entertaining.
People say that megalodons are dead and extinct but the government doesn’t have a submariner to go deep in the mariana trench
Hey Nikki and Steven! Please watch Avatar the last airbender (TV show obviously not movie 😭🤣) It’s in the top 10 IMDB best shows (ranked 7th!!) among classics like GOT , breaking bad and the Sopranos! Definitely NOT a kids show and would love to see your reactions to the amazing character development
Nikki you’re not alone😭 octonauts taught me about the spook fish and it’s not nearly as cute as they made it🤣 also Claude the coconut crab being so sweet but also probably being the one that ate Amelia earheart is something I think about too often😭🤣
