They did a really good job with the trailer for this one. My 5-year-old saw the trailer and was glued to the screen. It did look like a lot of fun. Then it turns out all the good parts are in the climax? Glad I was warned.
Did anyone else know this franchise was based on books and there is 8 of them💀 I just assumed it was just some random shark movie. Apparently the man behind these movies is interested in a 3rd movie so the 3rd book would be adapted for that. I can’t imagine they would adapt all 8 books😂
I think , The Meg 2/the Trench,,,, This Movie is very exciting and worthy for me to recommend to my closest friends, both office friends. or close relatives. The Movie is very entertaining in the beginning and very tense in the last hour. I give 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐stars out of 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐stars for this movie.
Sorry to hear it sounds like they didn't stick this one with you. I quite enjoyed the novel. I interviewed the author, Steve Allen, for Cemetery Dance magazine and set up a book signing for him at my local Barnes and Noble. He actually sold the movie rights to Meg first, which caused a bidding war for the novel. The movie got delayed many years- he says because Mighty Joe Young bombed-- but it finally came out. I'm sure he's thrilled the sequel got out as well. He actually named the commissioner of MLB after me in his third Meg novel, Primal Waters. This is one I have to see, so I hope it works for me.
The guy is a vindictive asshole who has tremendous hostility to anyone who doesn't subscribe to his dumb theory about giant prehistoric sharks surviving in the ocean depths in modern day (yes, he actually believes this). He's also a terrible writer.
I find it absolutely hilarious in the saddest way possible that Hollywood has made so many movies that are like this and should just be these massive fun movies people like watching but end up making really expensive boring ass movies that just leave you wondering how someone could have thought that this is what people wanted from this concept lmao😂
For the first time in my life I almost walked out halfway through the movie. At the end of the movie I didn't know any of the characters names, and which one of them actually got eaten
You nailed it. Also, the movie starting with how the trailer started, literally exactly, was so frustrating. So not only were the only exciting/good/goofy parts in the trailer, they were legit the ONLY enjoyable moments. I also was hoping to just turn off my brain and enjoy a “fast and the furious” shark style movie. But instead I got Skinamarink 🤦♂️
I literally fell asleep 20 minutes in and only woke up at a shark jump scare about half way in. Like I have no clue how the characters got back up to the surface after getting stuck under water
I love cheesy shark films (it’s my guilty pleasure). Had to go see this today to maintain my streak 😂. It wasn’t great but it wasn’t as awful as I thought it would be. I agree it needed more shark/creatures action. I wonder if they were trying to save on the cgi by showing the eye over and over and making it really dark 😂
You've probably already seen them but sharknado is definitely one for you if you love cheesy shark movies haha, I loved them. And there's also a movie out called Black Demon about a megalodon
Agreed on the first one. I was SO amped bc I love sharks and Statham’s pretty dope. It was visually beautiful but damn in the end they wasted the opportunity to make something incredibly groundbreaking. Even as a fun popcorn movie…it wasn’t very fulfilling at all.
Jason Statham is basically a modern day Steven Seagal. He has zero acting range, zero personality, zero charisma, Never gets hurt, and plays the same character in every movie.
My Favorite Jason Statham Films Transporter 1 & 2, Crank Films, Expendables 1 & 2, The One, Collateral, Cellular, Chaos, The Pink Panther Remake, War, Death Race 2008, The Mechanic 2011, Blitz, Killer Elite 2011, Safe, Parker, Fast & Furious 7 & 8, Spy, Hobbs & Shaw, Wrath Of Man, & The Meg 2
I loved the 1st Meg but this one not so much lol. The fact that they was underwater for almost an hour & the sea creatures that can all of a sudden walk took me out of it...unfortunately that was 95% of the movie. It was a worse version of The Abyss & Jurassic World or Skull Island.At least the head explosion was kinda cool🤷🏽♂️
Chum is another word for friend in the UK. Like Pal. So when he said see ya chum, he meant that. Not chump. That’s why on some posters is says New Meg. old Chum. (Old friend) Lol. Still a cheese line though.
They should hire Alexandre Aja to direct The Meg 3 and get R-Rating, because he knows us horror fans what we want from fun summer horror flick. He directed Piranha 3D and Crawl what are for me personally really fun summer time horror flicks to watch at summer with ton of awesome gore and enertainment
I really enjoyed The Meg 2, but I also enjoyed the first. Maybe that's key. If you enjoyed the first film, you're more likely to enjoy the second. If you didn't like the first, it's probably unlikely you'll enjoy the second. And I'm definitely not saying that if you like The Meg, you'll enjoy The Meg 2. Only an idiot would think that's what I'm saying. I also feel like they upped the action in this one. I didn't think it was boring at all. I liked that they had Statham (and others) have actual fight scenes against people, which was lacking in the first film. Some of the dialogue WAS cringe, but that's true for the first as well. I thought it took what worked in the first and upped it. Also, they went against 2 Megs in the first film, not one.
@@kyleschneider2957 I didn't say that EVERYONE who enjoyed The Meg would enjoy The Meg 2. I was saying if someone hated The Meg then they aren't likely to enjoy The Meg 2. So, no, there doesn't go my point.
I actually had the opposite effect. My wife wanted to watch these movies on max. I didn't really want to, both times, and came out at the end loving it, both times. They're over the top mind meltingly cheesy suspend your disbelief to enjoy movies. They're fun popcorn movies.
@@rozwynn2349usually when I watch reviews from people who didn't care much for the 1st movie but I did then usually I know I'm going to like it either that or the Long Island Iced Teas will help lol. I love craziness like these movies
I had a ton of fun with this. It was hilarious, the cast was fun and going from The Fast and The Furious to The Lost World to Aliens to Under Seige/Speed 2 but wet was just a fun trip.
While I liked the movie, and list in my category called "Good Popcorn Munching Fun", I kinda would've liked to sea more giant mudderfukking shark action in my giant mudderfukking shark movie. The song that they used for the end credits, CHOMP, was so cringe it made the LL COOL J song from DEEP BLUE SEA look like a classic.
Loved this one the same way I did the first. The megs are still the main attraction of the movie. They´re just not the only ones. It´s like with the Jurassic movies: there´s much more than the T-Rex and the raptors.
Jaws in 1975 was a A certificate now known as PG but had blood ; severed heads and gore , why all these years later is Meg2 so bloodless when its PG too
The very best thing for me about The Meg 2 movie for me?? I don't watch a lot of TV commercials, so me running across a trailer for it was about a .05% chance. So it was to my surprise when I went to the movies and saw it advertised...... So that's what we went into to see. My 6yr old daughter is into sharks, so I thought that this might be kinda good for her. After about 30mins of movie and my daughter asking me where are the sharks daddy? I was getting a little on edge and thinking this was a really bad idea. Next thing I know my daughter climbs over into my lap and crashes out. I think I am with everyone else on this movie. They needed more shark and less everything else. It was almost like The Dark Knight Rises. You got a 2 and a half hour movie and 20 miss of Batman!!! I went to see a Batman movie and got a wild love story??? Anyway I think they could have done a lot more with this movie. They didn't have rush in with Jason saving the day immediately like at the end. But this is my opinion and from what my wife says about my opinion, it doesn't mean crapola!!!!
My favorite part was when Jason Statham swam from one under water base to another. 25,000 ft deep. Without a diving suit. And he survived. I'm pretty sure he'd be crushed by the water pressure.
I wonder if the "friendlier" rating might not be because it's co-produced with a Chinese company, and China has rather more strict guidelines regarding morality.
I’m pumped for this movie. Got tickets for Sunday with the wife, sister and brother-in-law. We loved the first one but we’ve also watched just about every corny creature feature ever made since we were kids.😂
@@Joker_JAK they aren’t gonna stop me from seeing it. Lol. These are the same people that liked Barbie for crying out loud. I just want giant sharks… that’s all… if the movie delivers on that then I’ll be satisfied.
@@ScrimpBoat your not gonna get that , that's the thing they're only in the movie for about 10 mins the rest of the movie it focuses to much on the humans that's what we all wanted just dumb insane shark attacks that look fun , you've been warned
I can agree that the trailer made it feel more action packed and heightened than the first one when in reality it’s more dialogue and character driven, which can be a valid criticism. But I enjoyed the movie for what it was. It is definitely a play in the background kind of movie compared to the first one.
saw it yesterday with my youngest daughter who i saw the first one with; found myself falling asleep about 60 minutes in and i never fall asleep at the movies 😂 huge missed opportunity and i agree with Cody 💯 re the dialogue, downright painful…and Cody i LoVe that shirt, Styles is the man! 🙌
Lmao glad you mentioned the locusts in JW3, I felt like this (for some reason) took multiple ideas from that film. I didn’t hate it but I agree it was kinda boring
Jason has been on my list with the rock that just do the same role every movie. It gets old after a while and don’t even get excited when he’s in movies nowadays
@@gibramrivera-yv2lo if you can only play one role that means you’re good at that role. Doesn’t mean you’re a good actor. He has one facial expression in all those movies you mentioned
The movie could have been better if it really focused on the idea of the trench itself, since I think the suggestion was that prehistoric creatures including the Meg had survived in the deep unnoticed by people. I would prefer the team in the submersible having to do battle the monsters they encounter deep in the trench. Yet it turned out that unknown to them some evil corporation had already built a full-sized station there (how?) doing illegal mining, and in doing so somehow released all those prehistoric monsters. We know nothing about most of the team at all, which actually did not matter much, since it was obvious all except the main characters would be killed or eaten before the submersible reached the surface again. The movie not only copied ideas from other movies, but actually also copied from itself, and the last part was almost an exact copy of the first film, in that the Megs invaded a beach or coastal resort filled with people on vacation and you have the carnage all over again. The only difference was that now there were not only Megs but also other monsters including a giant octopus. In addition, the battle was carried onto land with Komodo-like creatures that could run as fast as cars. I guess in any sequel, the movie would be called "Megnado" with the battle continuing in the air.
i found the daughter to be so annoying , not listening to her dad every time he told her to do something that was clearly for her safety and Statham has 100 chances to kill the bad guy but he doesn’t which ends up with a lot of dead people!!!
I enjoyed the second half quite a bit, but definitely a big missed opportunity. Should have condensed the first hour into like 20 minutes, and just have more monster mayhem (with more than just the 3 species we got)
I Liked the 1st I thought it was Ok, It was good, Statham was Cool too, but not 1 of my Favorites Of his Though, I Love The Meg 2 Great Action, I thought it was a Massive Improvement over Meg 1, Fun Movie, Jason Statham & Cliff Curtis did a Good Job too, I Liked the Other actors too, 1 of my Favorites Of 2023 & Of Statham

Jaws is rated PG, and even that movie had more carnage
Very true.
When the female scientist asked if Lance was still alive when his helmet was floating infront of them I laughed my ass off 😂
to be fair, she could've been commenting on post death reflexes? nah. (did not see movie, only hearing bad thigns)
Hey is lance still alive , even tho his helmet is off and he would suffocate to death?
@@Leshy.the.bishop his head would be crushed long before he suffocated
Well Jason can just swim without his suit.
@@Gregbaltzer oh yeah cus pressure
Turd 2: The Stench
I love this 😂😂😂
🤣Well done😂
that title would make more sense
Lol, nice one
😂
They should have made it more suspenseful and scary instead of having it like a action shark movie. We’ve got enough of those
I like how Cody said this could have been a guilty pleasure but this was just guilty 😂😂😂
That sounds like the first movie, not this one
They did a really good job with the trailer for this one. My 5-year-old saw the trailer and was glued to the screen. It did look like a lot of fun. Then it turns out all the good parts are in the climax? Glad I was warned.
They really did say f&%k it, let's throw a kraken in there too. 🐙😂😂
They should have fully leaned into that type of nonsense.
The villain characters were hilariously bad. When they started shootings at jonas when he was chasing the megs on the jet ski I was laughing so hard
There was actually two sharks in the first film. Shows you how much stuck with people lmao
Lol I forgot about that
8:02 damn that impression was SPOT ON
Did anyone else know this franchise was based on books and there is 8 of them💀 I just assumed it was just some random shark movie. Apparently the man behind these movies is interested in a 3rd movie so the 3rd book would be adapted for that. I can’t imagine they would adapt all 8 books😂
Yeah, I've read them all. Though the movie changes a lot. Haven't see 2 so not sure how much they changed.

The Movie is very entertaining in the beginning and very tense in the last hour.
I give 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐stars out of 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐stars for this movie.
@@lambriahcarey. Biggest bs review I've seen so far
Just a thought maybe the movie named after giant sharks should actually be about the giant sharks
finally watched this movie and it made me realize just how well-written directed and acted the Sharknato movies are.
Sorry to hear it sounds like they didn't stick this one with you. I quite enjoyed the novel. I interviewed the author, Steve Allen, for Cemetery Dance magazine and set up a book signing for him at my local Barnes and Noble.

Things I learned today:
1) The Meg has a novel
2) Several novels
3) Holy shit… why?
The guy is a vindictive asshole who has tremendous hostility to anyone who doesn't subscribe to his dumb theory about giant prehistoric sharks surviving in the ocean depths in modern day (yes, he actually believes this).
He's also a terrible writer.
Me: “Should I see this movie?”
***immediately checks to see if Cody has reviewed it
I find it absolutely hilarious in the saddest way possible that Hollywood has made so many movies that are like this and should just be these massive fun movies people like watching but end up making really expensive boring ass movies that just leave you wondering how someone could have thought that this is what people wanted from this concept lmao😂
I would rather suffer watching Jaws swim to Bermuda for the agonizing 4th time
For the first time in my life I almost walked out halfway through the movie. At the end of the movie I didn't know any of the characters names, and which one of them actually got eaten
When it ended I was like "so we're just leaving that there? Ok"
They should've took a page outta Sharknado's book and just made it all about the MEG.
The walking to the station scene reminded me of underwater too. A far superior movie that is not talked about enough!
In the row in front of me seeing the Meg2 there were just as many kids (no older then like 10) as adults and I realized I made a mistake going
You nailed it. Also, the movie starting with how the trailer started, literally exactly, was so frustrating. So not only were the only exciting/good/goofy parts in the trailer, they were legit the ONLY enjoyable moments. I also was hoping to just turn off my brain and enjoy a “fast and the furious” shark style movie. But instead I got Skinamarink 🤦♂️
I didn't like the first Meg to much it was meh needed more shark action and shark killing but it felt watered down for a pg 13 rating.
I wish I would have waited until the reviews came out before I bought my ticket but at least the last 20 minutes was good like everyone said.
I literally fell asleep 20 minutes in and only woke up at a shark jump scare about half way in. Like I have no clue how the characters got back up to the surface after getting stuck under water

I mean it is called the trench so they spend like half the movie down there
@@rosita3528 Black Demon has even less shark action
@@Leshy.the.bishopcause that was the books names, The Trench was the B plot that came together for the finally.
Bravo on the “A History of Violence” callback.
The 1.5 second clip from Scott Pilgrim that Cody edited into this review is 1000 times the entertainment value that both the Meg films offer.
Agreed on the first one. I was SO amped bc I love sharks and Statham’s pretty dope. It was visually beautiful but damn in the end they wasted the opportunity to make something incredibly groundbreaking. Even as a fun popcorn movie…it wasn’t very fulfilling at all.

“Can you get water boarded from a movies dialogue” 😂😂
Absolutely of course.Absolutely no no surprise coming there
FYI, 'chum' is a British term for 'mate' or 'friend' (as well as a term for bait)
My Favorite Jason Statham Films Transporter 1 & 2, Crank Films, Expendables 1 & 2, The One, Collateral, Cellular, Chaos, The Pink Panther Remake, War, Death Race 2008, The Mechanic 2011, Blitz, Killer Elite 2011, Safe, Parker, Fast & Furious 7 & 8, Spy, Hobbs & Shaw, Wrath Of Man, & The Meg 2
The big problem with movies nowadays is length and pacing. I miss the days of brisk 90min movies that know exactly what they are. This ain't that.
I loved the 1st Meg but this one not so much lol.

If they tried to make it as real as possible so we will enjoy the action
Statham is best when he’s allowed to have a sense of humor. I love him in Spy

He directed Piranha 3D and Crawl what are for me personally really fun summer time horror flicks to watch at summer with ton of awesome gore and enertainment
It's a lost cause at this point, give it a decade and high budget series and actually adapted the books
It’s based on a book, so it follows the storyline from the novel.
Liar, it does not

The fact the Titan incident happen around the same time at half that depth makes the movie look so bad.
Well...like the old saying, lightning never strikes twice

Cody Leach, will you review Last Voyage of The Demeter? It's a vampire/dracula horror movie.
Shark movie supposed to have shark attack and more victims and more blood so you will not feel bored
I haven't seen this film yet, but honestly there was no need for a sequel..

I'm a huge fan of Wu Jing. He needs to go back to more traditional action movies.
Thank you Cody for your review you have saved me time and money
This needed to be a R rated gory B Movie, very disappointing.
Excellent review Cody.
In the book Angel kills kids
Honestly, I loved this movie. I had so much fun with it.
My understanding is that the movies are so tame because they're Chinese co-productions and they need to pass the censor boards over there.
Back in the day we'd get different versions for different countries depending on cencer laws
Last 20 minutes was worth it..which was ofcourse in trailers..
Great review Cody keep up the great work
Jason Stathams best work 🤣🤣🤣
This sounds just like the garbage Steve Alten was worried about when they made his books into movies.
Bro I hate when movies have stupid concepts and instead of playing into that they just make the movie boring.
This one was better than the first. The first hour was much closer to the novels style
Are they incredibly boring too?
@@finger3181 if you didn't like the more serious and grounded first hour, then you'll find them boring, yes
That's a Stright up Lie.
i found the daughter to be so annoying , not listening to her dad every time he told her to do something that was clearly for her safety and Statham has 100 chances to kill the bad guy but he doesn’t which ends up with a lot of dead people!!!

I enjoyed the second half quite a bit, but definitely a big missed opportunity. Should have condensed the first hour into like 20 minutes, and just have more monster mayhem (with more than just the 3 species we got)
I Liked the 1st I thought it was Ok, It was good, Statham was Cool too, but not 1 of my Favorites Of his Though, I Love The Meg 2 Great Action, I thought it was a Massive Improvement over Meg 1, Fun Movie, Jason Statham & Cliff Curtis did a Good Job too, I Liked the Other actors too, 1 of my Favorites Of 2023 & Of Statham
