In the subtitles when I watched it, it was spelled Pippin, which I really liked, because I named my dog Pippin, after Pippin in The Lord of the Rings :) but it's also still very close to Pippit from Jaws yes I love that too 💯
No other shark movies come even close to Jaws. Jaws was a serious story that actually wanted to be a horror film and preyed on peoples real fears. The Meg is a popcorn flick with okay CGI and a mediocre cast. No one in the film is better than the other they just play their roles and that's it. Jaws is all practical effects with subtle and very effective camera work and great acting especially from Robert Shaw. It also has one of the most noticeable music themes and honestly blows The Meg out of the water...pun intended. Jaws was groundbreaking, this film sadly is not and on top of all that, The Meg is 30 minutes too long and gets boring throughout the second act. 6/10
I haven't commented in awhile but just wanted to say again, I love your content. You two are an absolute blast to watch movies with. Also, The Meg was super underrated when it released. It's a very solid movie.
Truth. The explanation for how it got to the surface was WAY cooler in the book. I read that in the late 90's, WHILE at sea on an aircraft carrier. Read it in one day. Couldn't put it down.
I definitely enjoyed the novel better than the film. Unfortunately, this movie was a 'one and done' for me. The clichés and tropes added to the screenplay turned this into a mindless summer movie. I liken it to Jaws without the chemistry and grounding.
This is like...#5 in my list of best shark movies. JAWS, Deep Blue Sea, JAWS 2, The Shallows, The Meg. Ironically in the book he DOES kill it from inside after being swallowed and it WAS pregnant. They capture one of the pups in the second book and make it an attraction. Course the book is wildly different, takes place off California mostly.
You know, if you're curious. This movie is based off a series of books, by author "Steve Alten" by the same title "Meg". It's a very good read in case you interested. It really goes more into the science of how these sharks could exist. Very much worth the read. Also, you were correct in your assessment. It is not glass, it is in fact Lexan a very heavy duty plastic often times used in bullet proof glass.
Fun fact: Jason Statham did his own dives for this movie. He also entered as a diver for Great Britain in the 1988 and 1992 Olympic Games but unfortunately failed to qualify.
It has always surprised me that Deep Rising hasn't become more of a cult film since it's release. I saw it in theaters when it released and was shocked by how enjoyable and fun it was. Hope the Mr. and Mrs. get around to checking it out. I was the same when I was a kid, watching Deep Star Six, and Leviathan often.
Growing up in Arizona I had the same farmers tan until I started driving. Then my left arm was always more tan than my right arm, because I would drive around all the time with the window down and my arm on the car door. :D
the Megaladon WAS real it's not a question of IF. They went extinct many years ago. 23:54 the tube/cage that is designed not to break...there is a flaw in that they didn't consider...perhaps one that break might ACTUALLY be safer.
Jaws is still better, I'm sorry Mrs. YOU me and Movies, Jaws still wins. The characters alone wins it. Where is Quint? Him being a psychotic sharker, and then hearing the USS Indianapolis story was chilling and explained it perfectly, I'd hate sharks too.
Stupid movie. I liked the idea but the execution was bad. A typical Statham movie. Every time you see Satham in a movie, you KNOW there's a TON of cheese and silliness in it.
The Meg, terrible movie, terribly acted and ridiculous plot. Meg 2 is going to be so bad, based on the previews, that it will far outdo the crappiness of this one. I may go see it just so I can laugh my ass off over how stupid it will be!
Ive been rewatching deep blue sea on max, so that joke feels like it was just for me, when i was a kid i only ever got 2 things from blockbuster. Deep blue sea and jango fett bounty hunter, better days
No, Megalodon is not alive today. They're long gone. There is no reason why they'd survive or the need for them in this ecosystem. To be honest, I think a pod of determined Orca would make a short work out of them, extract their liver for food and leave them to spread the message to other Megs, this is what's coming if you don't stay off our food supply. Ever seen how quick Orca can skewer a GWS? It's impressive. Orca is the Apex Predator of the 4 Oceans. Mankind is lucky they don't see us as prey, at least not now they don't but they are attacking boats lately. If Megalodon was still alive, we would've definitely seen it numerous times by now, they would've attacked boats. They should be similar to GWS behavior and hunting wise. They're damn near the same fish, just one is 3× its size.
Agreed. I enjoyed this film (along with Deep Blue Sea, 47 metres down and The Shallows) and I'm excited for the sequel but Jaws is such a masterpiece that it can't be topped
@@marktrigg467 yes i get jaws is a good movie.. but alot of the time people tend to like first original movies just because they were the first. better ones can come after and it does happen
Jaws is still the better film but this is certainly number 2. It doesn’t take itself seriously and that makes it a blast to watch. Meg2 in imax, here I come lol.
hold the phone - 🤨 hollow earth - k ur husband needs 2 take a break from the movies - i dont wanna hear him start talking bout leprechauns and them chocolate cooking elves that hiding in the trees
I liked this movie as well, for the same reasons. It wasn't too cheesy, but it also didn't take itself too serious. "The Shallows" is a pretty tense shark movie that would scare the hell out of you guys. It's at the top of my shark movies. Also, have you ever watched "The Abyss"? If not, it is a must watch.
I'm really glad you did this one. I read the books which I really enjoyed. The movie strays from the novel quite a bit, but it's really a fun movie and probably a better story for a movie as the novel gets very complicated story wise. Plus it was just a fun experience. I really do think Statham is perfect for this kind of movie and I can't wait to see how they do the sequel since the story for that novel was even more complicated and probably would be hard to make into a two hour movie. A couple of notes...YES they did do a few Jaws homages in the final scene, like with the little boy wanting to go in the water and the little dog being named Pipit, which was the name of the black lab that was the second victim of Jaws in the beach scene right before the little boy gets eaten. You don't see him get eaten...just his owner throwing his stick in the surf for him to retrieve and then suddenly he's missing as his owner calls his name and looks for him. But Pipit will always be iconic as the Jaws Dog's name. Also, Sir, you have good intuition when you thought a baby was coming out at the end, because in the novel, MEG has two babies right at the end. One of which dies, but the second one, a female they actually name ANGEL, is the shark in the books sequel.
At the start when the Sub explodes with the people inside who they're trying to rescue? You seemed to think it was because it was a nuclear sub it exploded. What actually happened is THAT is probably the best movie representation I've seen of a implosion (like what happened recently with the submersible). The huge pressures involved at that depth cause the air inside the submarine to heat up to massive temperatures which is why you see what looks like an explosion. Also when you get down to the kind of depths they were at in the first half of the movie aquatic animals actually evolve to not even HAVE eyes a lot of the time!
That's not what happens. At all. During an implosion, the hull gets crushed and ruptured, so it's no longer watertight and pressurized. Therefore, the air inside it cannot compress and heat up. It just escapes through all the cracks. That's it. No explosions. No weird stuff or speculation. It's a fact. We know what happens. What you describe is nothing more than an urban myth. A silly one too. Something that somebody came up with to make it more dramatic and for whatever reason some silly people keep repeating. As for the the explosion you see here, let's just say it's either than silly myth or if you want realism, let's say it's the torpedo fuel. If that was a European submarine i'd say it might have even been hydrogen igniting. Sorry for pooping your party.
Oh and the submersible simply fell apart because it was badly made. The hull cracked, as reported by the crew itself during their last transmission and by the Navy. In fact they have recovered large parts of it. No scorching or any of that silly BS. Sudden change in pressure completely destroyed the bodies too. Stop believing in myths.
Theres a cool scene in the movie Underwater where the characters are in pressurized suits at the bottom of the ocean, and one of them implodes after his helmet starts to crack. Realistic or not it was pretty gnarly
@@hulkslayer626 Not likely given the huge pressure difference, however some animals can survive significant pressure changes, notably certain types of Whales such as Sperm whales, which dive to very low depths to hunt Giant Squid. If you want to see what a animal from the bottom of the ocean would look like at the surface, you only have to look at the very famous Blobfish. The common picture of a Blobfish you'll see is at the surface, which means it's at much less pressure then it's used to, and would look very different to how it would at depth.
Umm.... we literally reference that movie in our intro to this movie and we watched it as our last summer's shark movie. There are links all over this video to go watch that reaction ;)
Speaking of people getting a fear of the ocean/sharks from Jaws, does anyone remember that some fast food place had these toys that came in the kids' meals for pools? They had a few different ones. I had the hammerhead and the great white. They were puppets and they could spit out water.
@@niklaslund2204 I think that you're right that it was McDonald's. I also did the same. Like I said, I had the hammerhead and the Great White one but I think there were other kinds. They were fun in the pool.
Seems like it was McDonald's or Long John Silver's (or maybe both). My brother and I had some of these as well when we were younger. I also remember having a Jaws game where the jaw was held open with elastic bands and these little pieces were placed in the bottom jaw. There was this miniaturized version of the extended pole with the hook on it like Quint/Hooper used in the movie, and we took turns trying to remove the little pieces out of the mouth. When the jaw became too light, the bands would cause it to snap shut, and the person with holding that little hook thing lost. Damn..... that makes me feel old.
@@Nimbus1701 I could see a number of fast food places having Jaws themed kids' meal toys for the twenty something anniversary of Jaws or something, I know the ones I'm thinking of were from the late nineties.
It's funny to see Masi Oka talk with a thick accent. He's actually rather plain and normal English speaking. I was freaked the first time I heard him speak in an interview back when Heroes was first on TV. He shocked me completely with how easily and smoothly he spoke. He reminds me of the actor that plays Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat. That dude doesn't talk ONE BIT like his characters. HIS everyday speech is definitely not as polished and refined as Shang Tsung's. lol
Gedde Watanabe is a great example of this as well. Probably best known as Long Duk Dong from 16 Candles, though I prefer Gung-Ho personally; dude is from Utah and is incredibly well spoken when not playing a character.
But not a Megalodon. They're long gone. There is no reason why they'd survive or the need for them in this ecosystem. To be honest, I think a pod of determined Orca would make a short work out of them, extract their liver for food and leave them to spread the message to other Megs, this is what's coming if you don't stay off our food supply. Ever seen how quick Orca can skewer a GWS? It's impressive. Orca is the Apex Predator of the 4 Oceans. Mankind is lucky they don't see us as prey, at least not now they don't but they are attacking boats lately.
There was one predatory animal that the Megalodon feared: Leviathan. It's basically a sperm whale with giant teeth. Not only did it grow even bigger, they were also faster and being mammals, had much tougher skeletons and probably a bigger appetite as well. A Livyatan would easily crush the cartilage of a Meg.
No evidence suggests Livyatan preyed on meg or vice Versa. It’s possible that they may or may not have been around at the same time. And recent studies suggest the largest megs were bigger than livyatan
If you like shark movies: Life Aquatic. Bill Murry, Jeff Goldblum, Angelica Huston< William Defoe, Cate Blanchett, a Wes Anderson movie, comedy, kind of an homage to Jacques Cousteau. You will have fun
Awful movie. If I hadn't read the books I probably would have enjoyed it enough. Similar to piranha 3d. But the novels were bad ass and this film and the second butchered the books
14:15 🤣🤣🤣 15:34 I feel like Masi Oka would've gotten out had it not been for this bit of oppositional flirtation. 17:09 Noice! Good call Mi'Lady. 👍 31:19 This guy is such an Elon Musk. Solid movie, and I love Jason Statham...but I'm Team Meg all the way. 🦈👍
You guys nailed both my deepest fears, sharks & tornados. Tornado alley resident, Jaws too early viewer. A tornado narrowly missed me a few years ago. It happened so fast I had no time to experience actual fear, only blank shock & instinct. As for sharks, the ocean is far away but I know they're lurking in the lakes and behind those grates in public pools. Stay vigilant! It was cool seeing YM&TM pop up in the Star Wars trials on Film Threat. This movie's good fun like the newer Piranah movies, I don't think it would've traumatized me.
It’s interesting when you compare Meg to Jaws. Meg is a movie that absolutely sucks compared to the book it is based off. Jaws is an movie that is actually far better then the book it is based off.
"It's unbreakable, specifically designed for sharks." Maybe 2cm thick. With like 2mm wire grid on top. What were you thinking. You would need at least 1m or more if you want to stop that shark.
🤣.....I screamed & laughed when the lady couldn't talk. AHHHHHHH. It's funny, but isn't, but is. I talk that way sometimes since I had my stroke. My family laughs @ me all the time. Whenever my dumba$$ sister hears me talking crazy she looks @ me & says yabba dabba doo. 🤣 Even when I'm embarrassed, I laugh @ myself. Cain't help it.
August 19, 2023 will be the 50th anniversary of "Enter the Dragon" (1973) starring the legendary Bruce Lee. You should react to it for the anniversary.
There was Jaws and Jaws. 3. Then there's Shark Night. Next Frantic and the Shallows. And finally, The Meg mine biggest favourable shark movie so far. You said that sharks are your biggest fear. So that makes her number 2 scariest horror in your life. Hahahahaha!!!!
@@moviesbye9294You gotta be on heavy drugs to think it better than the classic Jaws…the Meg is a decent movie..but in no way shape or form is it better than jaws🤦♂️
Yes, you MUST watch the Sharknao movies. Simply beause they are so stupid. That's why I love them, they are sooooo, soooo stuuupid!! I get to laugh at the absurdity.
My opinion means not one iota more than anyone else’s, but Jaws is a top ten movie of all time, and this poorly acted CGI-riddled mess was probably not one of the best ten movies the MONTH it was released. Love these reactors nonetheless, and 99% of the time I agree with Mrs Movies take on things. On this occasion, however, I couldn’t disagree more. Glad you enjoyed it though, I’m not the taste police.
At the end of the commentary they are talking about not wanting to be in the ocean and only being in a lake. Ummm...... about that...... is this a good time to mention that Bull Sharks can live in fresh water? A couple of them were found hundreds of miles up the Mississippi River, some freshwater rivers and lakes in South America and several people believe these sharks were responsible for some attacks and deaths of people in 1916, called the Jersey Shore attacks. I don't even mess around in rivers and creeks anymore.
Better than Jaws?????? I am unsubbing immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on a side note, shark fin soup is a very controversial item on a lot of peoples agenda to rid from culinary arts. The reason why they dont keep the whole shark is because sharks actually urinate through their skin unlike any other type of fish. It taints the meat making it smell and taste like ammonia but eating shark fin soup is more of a right of passage in asia. Most people that eat it dont even like it but they eat it as a status symbol kind of the same way as eating cobras in SE asian countries. Man conquering beast kind of thing. Gordon Ramsay actually did a very good documentary about it you should check out. The worst thing about it is they dont even kill the sharks. They pull them aboard the boat, cut the fins off and throw them back to die. Its actually terrible...
Even though the movie was enjoyable, it lacked so much balls compared to the novel. The Meg novel was a hundred times more bloodier than Jaws was. I read it thinking man they will never be able to do that. And they didn't. It's as if they wanted to hit the Jurassic World market so they made it a safe entertainment. But it's unfortunate cause it could have been a horror movie for the ages. Hell the shark didn't even look like a Great White. Even in Jaws they had the shark kill the dog and kill the kid. Not here. I knew right there and there that it would be a slap in the face of the original novel. Cause Jaws, a movie from 1975 had more balls than this even though the Meg novel was far bloodier and relenthless than Jaws. You have Chinese swimmers looking like a bunch of Frootloops to be served for Breakfast to the shark and he didn't eat any of them. My God such a missed opportunity. In the book they had the shark grab the helicopter. In that movie? Nope. Probably didn't have the budget. The fact that they cast Statham missed the point as well cause we knew he would defeat it so far less suspense. His name is Jonas because like in the story he ends up inside the shark and that's how he defeats it and it's the best moment of the book! In the movie? Nope. Cause it would have been too cool, you see. I mean I was entertained but it was a meh. Just like all those Jurassic World movies.
I can’t lie I wouldn’t have gone you call me crazy and insinuate that I massacred a whole crew of my friends and coworkers and then ask for my help after what I said was true and you ignored my warnings causing another crew to be in the same predicament…not happening I would purposefully have gone there just to tell them to their face “told you so and also you said it yourself “ex-wife” I don’t care about her safety over mine anymore so I wish you all the best with your endeavours but peace” and just gone home.
In regards to the harvesting of shark-fins ... sharks are mostly cartilage and the amount of meat that one would get from harvesting a shark isn't considered "cost effective" - essentially, the same reason buffalo hunters in the old west shot the buffalo and skinned them (occasionally taking a few bits and parts as well) - but for the most part, they left the bodies/carcasses behind as "waste product" because it wasn't what they were after. Yes, it's wasteful and a horrible practice ... condemned by just about every nature group on the planet ... and as long as there is a marketplace for it and people are willing to pay as much money as they are for these products (like they do for Elephant ivory and Rhino horns, etc) ...there will be poachers/hunters willing to go do it
"Pippen" is a nod at "Pippit", the Black stick fetching dog in Jaws... there are a handful of nods to Jaws in The Meg
In the subtitles when I watched it, it was spelled Pippin, which I really liked, because I named my dog Pippin, after Pippin in The Lord of the Rings :) but it's also still very close to Pippit from Jaws yes I love that too 💯
We've gotten some great animal type movies lately between The Shallow, Crawl, The Meg, now the Meg 2. And some B horror ones. Excited for more.
No other shark movies come even close to Jaws. Jaws was a serious story that actually wanted to be a horror film and preyed on peoples real fears. The Meg is a popcorn flick with okay CGI and a mediocre cast. No one in the film is better than the other they just play their roles and that's it.

What you describe is nothing more than an urban myth. A silly one too. Something that somebody came up with to make it more dramatic and for whatever reason some silly people keep repeating.
As for the the explosion you see here, let's just say it's either than silly myth or if you want realism, let's say it's the torpedo fuel. If that was a European submarine i'd say it might have even been hydrogen igniting.
Sorry for pooping your party.
Oh and the submersible simply fell apart because it was badly made. The hull cracked, as reported by the crew itself during their last transmission and by the Navy. In fact they have recovered large parts of it. No scorching or any of that silly BS.
Sudden change in pressure completely destroyed the bodies too. Stop believing in myths.
What about animals that have evolved to deal with those kinds of pressure? Would it be able to survive near the surface?
Theres a cool scene in the movie Underwater where the characters are in pressurized suits at the bottom of the ocean, and one of them implodes after his helmet starts to crack. Realistic or not it was pretty gnarly
@@hulkslayer626 Not likely given the huge pressure difference, however some animals can survive significant pressure changes, notably certain types of Whales such as Sperm whales, which dive to very low depths to hunt Giant Squid.
If you want to see what a animal from the bottom of the ocean would look like at the surface, you only have to look at the very famous Blobfish. The common picture of a Blobfish you'll see is at the surface, which means it's at much less pressure then it's used to, and would look very different to how it would at depth.
We know more about space than we do our own oceans. Hell I wouldn't be surprised that if aliens ever do visit? They'd come from the ocean
Need to watch "Deep Blue Sea" for a good Shark movie with Samual Jackson. It's a classic!!!
Umm.... we literally reference that movie in our intro to this movie and we watched it as our last summer's shark movie. There are links all over this video to go watch that reaction ;)
*47 METERS DOWN: UNCAGED WAS A GOOD SHARK MOVIE. CHECK IT OUT*
Speaking of people getting a fear of the ocean/sharks from Jaws, does anyone remember that some fast food place had these toys that came in the kids' meals for pools? They had a few different ones. I had the hammerhead and the great white. They were puppets and they could spit out water.
Yeah, pretty sure mcdonald's was giving them. I spent the time splashing around in my grandparents pool
@@niklaslund2204 I think that you're right that it was McDonald's. I also did the same. Like I said, I had the hammerhead and the Great White one but I think there were other kinds. They were fun in the pool.
Seems like it was McDonald's or Long John Silver's (or maybe both). My brother and I had some of these as well when we were younger. I also remember having a Jaws game where the jaw was held open with elastic bands and these little pieces were placed in the bottom jaw. There was this miniaturized version of the extended pole with the hook on it like Quint/Hooper used in the movie, and we took turns trying to remove the little pieces out of the mouth. When the jaw became too light, the bands would cause it to snap shut, and the person with holding that little hook thing lost. Damn..... that makes me feel old.
@@Nimbus1701 I could see a number of fast food places having Jaws themed kids' meal toys for the twenty something anniversary of Jaws or something, I know the ones I'm thinking of were from the late nineties.
It's not even better than Flubber.
It's a stupid movie that knows it's job is to be mindless entertainment and I love it. Too few of them nowadays.
16:47 Lol 😂😂😂😂
It's funny to see Masi Oka talk with a thick accent. He's actually rather plain and normal English speaking. I was freaked the first time I heard him speak in an interview back when Heroes was first on TV. He shocked me completely with how easily and smoothly he spoke.
He reminds me of the actor that plays Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat. That dude doesn't talk ONE BIT like his characters. HIS everyday speech is definitely not as polished and refined as Shang Tsung's. lol
Gedde Watanabe is a great example of this as well. Probably best known as Long Duk Dong from 16 Candles, though I prefer Gung-Ho personally; dude is from Utah and is incredibly well spoken when not playing a character.
Can I recommend another film underwater starring Kirsten Stewart it's really good 👍
It features another Giant sea monster very underated
The deep ocean seems to be the one place you're most likely to run into your ex-wife, even if you've never been married.
But not a Megalodon. They're long gone. There is no reason why they'd survive or the need for them in this ecosystem. To be honest, I think a pod of determined Orca would make a short work out of them, extract their liver for food and leave them to spread the message to other Megs, this is what's coming if you don't stay off our food supply. Ever seen how quick Orca can skewer a GWS? It's impressive.
Orca is the Apex Predator of the 4 Oceans. Mankind is lucky they don't see us as prey, at least not now they don't but they are attacking boats lately.
Its a good movie but not better than jaws
There was one predatory animal that the Megalodon feared: Leviathan. It's basically a sperm whale with giant teeth. Not only did it grow even bigger, they were also faster and being mammals, had much tougher skeletons and probably a bigger appetite as well. A Livyatan would easily crush the cartilage of a Meg.
No evidence suggests Livyatan preyed on meg or vice Versa. It’s possible that they may or may not have been around at the same time. And recent studies suggest the largest megs were bigger than livyatan
Ironically im afraid of spiders but arachnophobia is one of my favorite movies
Same!😅
her brain stopped!!!!
4:42 "... i'm usually just uncomfortable as a baseline." 😆
farmers of the world unite!!!
If you like shark movies: Life Aquatic. Bill Murry, Jeff Goldblum, Angelica Huston< William Defoe, Cate Blanchett, a Wes Anderson movie, comedy, kind of an homage to Jacques Cousteau. You will have fun
Me at that 15:02 quote; For the moment.
I just had to refresh the page lol
The Maze Runner pleaseee ❤️
Not even close to jaws......
I think it would be hilarious if you do reaction vids to the Sharknado saga and maybe the really stupid ones as well. Lol
Better than Jaws? No.
Awful movie. If I hadn't read the books I probably would have enjoyed it enough. Similar to piranha 3d. But the novels were bad ass and this film and the second butchered the books
14:15 🤣🤣🤣
15:34 I feel like Masi Oka would've gotten out had it not been for this bit of oppositional flirtation.
17:09 Noice! Good call Mi'Lady. 👍
31:19 This guy is such an Elon Musk.
Solid movie, and I love Jason Statham...but I'm Team Meg all the way. 🦈👍
You guys nailed both my deepest fears, sharks & tornados. Tornado alley resident, Jaws too early viewer. A tornado narrowly missed me a few years ago. It happened so fast I had no time to experience actual fear, only blank shock & instinct. As for sharks, the ocean is far away but I know they're lurking in the lakes and behind those grates in public pools.
Stay vigilant!
It was cool seeing YM&TM pop up in the Star Wars trials on Film Threat.
This movie's good fun like the newer Piranah movies, I don't think it would've traumatized me.
Brain Dead Movie
" There's two ,how can there be two ? Nobody said there were two , sh!t !"
36:58 omg LMAO!
It’s interesting when you compare Meg to Jaws. Meg is a movie that absolutely sucks compared to the book it is based off. Jaws is an movie that is actually far better then the book it is based off.
The Shallows is my second favourite shark film behind Jaws obviously
really wish people would stop referencing the "logitech game controller". the controller had NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HULL FAILING!!!!!!!!!
PS: 11:34 - 11:38 The fact that this sub was yellow and it went into the water like that, remind me of Thunderbird 4.
"It's unbreakable, specifically designed for sharks." Maybe 2cm thick. With like 2mm wire grid on top. What were you thinking. You would need at least 1m or more if you want to stop that shark.
🤣.....I screamed & laughed when the lady couldn't talk. AHHHHHHH. It's funny, but isn't, but is. I talk that way sometimes since I had my stroke. My family laughs @ me all the time. Whenever my dumba$$ sister hears me talking crazy she looks @ me & says yabba dabba doo. 🤣 Even when I'm embarrassed, I laugh @ myself. Cain't help it.
The novel is so much better but I did enjoy the movie for what it was. In the novel the shark glowed in the dark.
The girl's hair was distracting...I wish the Meg would've got her first.. maybe "Quint style". I know you all know the hair I'm talking about 😁
August 19, 2023 will be the 50th anniversary of "Enter the Dragon" (1973) starring the legendary Bruce Lee. You should react to it for the anniversary.
There was Jaws and Jaws. 3. Then there's Shark Night. Next Frantic and the Shallows. And finally, The Meg mine biggest favourable shark movie so far. You said that sharks are your biggest fear. So that makes her number 2 scariest horror in your life. Hahahahaha!!!!
I can’t believe you actually put that in the title. Shows me you only do this for the money of reacting and not the passion of good moviemaking.
It is better than boring Jaws tho
@@moviesbye9294 ok zoomer. I have an attention span that surpasses that of a goldfish.
@@moviesbye9294You gotta be on heavy drugs to think it better than the classic Jaws…the Meg is a decent movie..but in no way shape or form is it better than jaws🤦♂️
3rd reaction for this movie in 2 months with “BETTER THAN JAWS?!?” in the title. (TimotheeReacts and White Noise Reacts being the other two).
MRS. MOVIE'S NEW TITLE IS STATER OF THE OBVIOUS. ❤❤❤ ( makes my day how she predicts things )
Yes, you MUST watch the Sharknao movies.
Simply beause they are so stupid.
That's why I love them, they are sooooo, soooo stuuupid!!
I get to laugh at the absurdity.
"Aim for the butthole ".... that's just great general life advice .....
My opinion means not one iota more than anyone else’s, but Jaws is a top ten movie of all time, and this poorly acted CGI-riddled mess was probably not one of the best ten movies the MONTH it was released.
Love these reactors nonetheless, and 99% of the time I agree with Mrs Movies take on things. On this occasion, however, I couldn’t disagree more.
Glad you enjoyed it though, I’m not the taste police.
Can’t be better then Jaws
It certainly isn’t better than Jaws…but it’s a decent shark movie all the same.
At the end of the commentary they are talking about not wanting to be in the ocean and only being in a lake. Ummm...... about that...... is this a good time to mention that Bull Sharks can live in fresh water? A couple of them were found hundreds of miles up the Mississippi River, some freshwater rivers and lakes in South America and several people believe these sharks were responsible for some attacks and deaths of people in 1916, called the Jersey Shore attacks. I don't even mess around in rivers and creeks anymore.
Better than Jaws?????? I am unsubbing immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on a side note, shark fin soup is a very controversial item on a lot of peoples agenda to rid from culinary arts. The reason why they dont keep the whole shark is because sharks actually urinate through their skin unlike any other type of fish. It taints the meat making it smell and taste like ammonia but eating shark fin soup is more of a right of passage in asia. Most people that eat it dont even like it but they eat it as a status symbol kind of the same way as eating cobras in SE asian countries. Man conquering beast kind of thing. Gordon Ramsay actually did a very good documentary about it you should check out. The worst thing about it is they dont even kill the sharks. They pull them aboard the boat, cut the fins off and throw them back to die. Its actually terrible...
Even though the movie was enjoyable, it lacked so much balls compared to the novel. The Meg novel was a hundred times more bloodier than Jaws was. I read it thinking man they will never be able to do that. And they didn't. It's as if they wanted to hit the Jurassic World market so they made it a safe entertainment. But it's unfortunate cause it could have been a horror movie for the ages. Hell the shark didn't even look like a Great White. Even in Jaws they had the shark kill the dog and kill the kid. Not here. I knew right there and there that it would be a slap in the face of the original novel. Cause Jaws, a movie from 1975 had more balls than this even though the Meg novel was far bloodier and relenthless than Jaws. You have Chinese swimmers looking like a bunch of Frootloops to be served for Breakfast to the shark and he didn't eat any of them. My God such a missed opportunity. In the book they had the shark grab the helicopter. In that movie? Nope. Probably didn't have the budget. The fact that they cast Statham missed the point as well cause we knew he would defeat it so far less suspense. His name is Jonas because like in the story he ends up inside the shark and that's how he defeats it and it's the best moment of the book! In the movie? Nope. Cause it would have been too cool, you see.
I mean I was entertained but it was a meh. Just like all those Jurassic World movies.
I can’t lie I wouldn’t have gone you call me crazy and insinuate that I massacred a whole crew of my friends and coworkers and then ask for my help after what I said was true and you ignored my warnings causing another crew to be in the same predicament…not happening I would purposefully have gone there just to tell them to their face “told you so and also you said it yourself “ex-wife” I don’t care about her safety over mine anymore so I wish you all the best with your endeavours but peace” and just gone home.
In regards to the harvesting of shark-fins ... sharks are mostly cartilage and the amount of meat that one would get from harvesting a shark isn't considered "cost effective" - essentially, the same reason buffalo hunters in the old west shot the buffalo and skinned them (occasionally taking a few bits and parts as well) - but for the most part, they left the bodies/carcasses behind as "waste product" because it wasn't what they were after.
Yes, it's wasteful and a horrible practice ... condemned by just about every nature group on the planet ... and as long as there is a marketplace for it and people are willing to pay as much money as they are for these products (like they do for Elephant ivory and Rhino horns, etc) ...there will be poachers/hunters willing to go do it
