- Hey Knights! Today we dive into the depths of The Meg (2018) for the very first time. Join us on this exhilarating journey as we share our genuine reactions to the colossal shark adventure that has captivated audiences around the world. This film is filled with underwater suspense, jaw-dropping moments, and massive creature encounters that made it one of the wildest shark movies we've watched all year!
What is worse than a Great White shark? That's right a Megalodon that's trying to figure out where it fits in the food chain. Something tells us we are not gonna like the answer! In this thrilling film, we'll witness the discovery of the ancient megalodon, a prehistoric predator thought to be extinct. As we navigate the high-stakes mission to confront this monstrous creature we'll be adding our usual input on some of the films many aspects!
We hope you enjoy our reactions and commentary as we delve into the film's impact on the monster movie genre, its place in the world of aquatic thrills, and the technological achievements that make The Meg an absolute blast. After watching films like Jaws or Deep Blue Sea this one has it's own place in the genre.
Thank you guys so much for watching this with us!

Could you guys do the Sharknado movies reaction please and thank you if you guys do it.
I ALMOST died #LMFAO when the #Sprite that I was drinking suddenly shot out of my nose at time stamp: 30:06 when y'all straight up said, "OOOOHH, he be munchin".
The Shallows is the only other good shark film that I recommend next
please watch Tremor next!
Try a film called “Bait” if you want shark meets natural disaster
If a film can be entertaining, it's done its job, and The Meg certainly qualifies.
Agreed, it was fun!
Darn right.
This is tripe, just dreadful
@@Evilcsharper6474If you don't like it, don't watch it.🤡
@@Evilcsharper6474
Either your hypocrite for watching or you literally clicked on the vid to complain, either way just is horrible of you.
You couldn't have said it better. it's a fun popcorn flick, super entertaining, fun, and engaging...sharknado should be the last of this shark movie binge😂
Oh my god don’t 😂 You can tell by my face how excited I am about that idea
@@OfficialMediaKnights Cinematic masterpiece 🤣
I like how this movie is at least somewhat realistic and always tries to give an explanation even if it isn’t the best one
This is a guilty pleasure movie for me. It's silly and fun, but not stupid.
Another just plain fun and entertaining summer action movie!
Yesss!! Love those and this one hit just right!!
Based on the novel of the same name by Steve Alten. It took them 20 years to make this movie happen. A lot of directors Guillermo Del Toro, Eli Roth, and Jan De Bont, were considered for making the project. It made $530 million dollars against a $178 million dollar budget.
Whoaaa what a turnout!! Incredible how so many amazing directors were considered for this! It was such a fun ride, we thoroughly enjoyed this movie!
And bearing almost zero resemblance to the book at all whatsoever. Fun in it's own right, however.
i didn't know Del Toro was apart of this movie
Fun Fact: Jason Statham did most his own swimming (they used a double for the really hazardous stuff). He represented England in the 1990 Commonwealth Games for diving. At one point he was ranked 12 in the world for platform diving.
This guy is like a Renaissance man. Quite the athlete
You know it's a good night when you watching UA-cam and you get a notification that these guys make a new vid
Ahh man! That warms our hearts 😄
People never notice that the name of the little dog here is also the name of the dog in Jaws the guy was playing fetch with and got eaten at the beach. another little jaws Easter egg 😆
I caught that when I saw the movie in theaters
Dog here was called pippen
The dog in Jaws was called Pippet ,but there is definitely a reference
I absolutely love this movie, I hope you enjoyed this movie as much as I did
We had a blast!
i'm glad you guys watched meg! the meg 2 the trench is on its way so i hope you guys do the reaction of it too when it comes out
Most likely! We’ll keep an eye out for it 😃
You guys should check out Crawl for another good horror creature feature!
Crocodiles + lots of flooding + stranded deep in storm territory = a great time, has some great suspenseful moments and is criminally underrated for these animal-kinda horror flicks
!
Did anyone else get the ‘Pippin’ reference with the dog? That was the name of the dog that got eaten by the shark in the first jaws film lol 😂
The references from ‘JAWS’ are brilliant, but watching this with you the 2nd time for myself, I noticed the Bride on the yacht near the beach called her dog ‘Pippin’ same as the black Labrador on the beach in ‘Jaws’ . Thank you for this.
I absolutely love ridiculous monster movies (as well as disaster movies), it’s my guilty pleasure. shark movies are a fav of mine, i love sharks, they’re beautiful creatures. i wrote a college paper about the “jaws effect” and how sensationalizing random shark attacks and killer shark movies led to millions of shark deaths over the years, & how people are more dangerous to them than they are to us. still, as long as people understand it’s fiction, it’s such a fun & entertaining sub genre of films 😁😁
True, I watched Jaws when I was a kid. It was the beginning of my obsession with sharks. I'm a marine scientist now😂 and trust me many of us got inspired by Jaws
You guys are awesome!
Bring on ALL of the Creature Feature reactions. 😄
Haha aw thank you, you are awesome!! We are definitely loving our creature features and will be sharing more very soon!!
A split second to make a decision, and a lifetime to tear it apart
Favorite shark movie. Second is sharknado
I swam with Dolphins before. Even though I knew they were super friendly, and got to meet and pet them before we went in the deep with them...there is nothing you can do to prevent the instinctual anxiety and fear you have when you're floating along at the top of the water, starring down into the dark depths, only to see a huge shadow come out of that darkness and head straight for you. Thank god they were only warm and friendly Dolphins, that wanted to play. Side note, it was super fun swimming and playing with them. They'd let you hang on to their fins while they swam around at the water line, they'd also do this thing where if you were laying straight out on your stomache, and had your feet out straight out behind you, they'd swim up and propel you forward with their noses at wild speeds. To the point where you'd almost be standing straight up going through the water. They were also suprisingly warm, and soft to the touch, like velvety and warm. Such cool creatures.
Yes sharknado!!!!!
Please do sharknado it is a rabbit hole. I don't think it was ever supposed to be what it became. It's something I think u should watch.
The little yorkie named Pippin is actually a reference to Jaws from the beach scene with the black lab who was also named Pippin.
you missed a huge jaws reference. Pippin the dog. The dog in Jaws that gets eaten by the shark at the same time the little boy got eaten. They named the little dog in this the same. unfortunately it survived.....
Saw a video where Rainn Wilson talked about sitting next to a guy on a plane watching the office for the entire flight, which he acted in and is most well known for. Rainn said he never got into it and the guy defended it, then he took off his face mask slowly and talked to him. It took almost a minute for the realization to sink in then the guys mind was blown. As a big fan of the office, with some small reservations, I thought it was funny. It's great Rainn Wilson is in this, Super, and Star Trek: Discovery. Hope to see him in more things.
Whaaat, that is such a great story haha!! Imagine sitting next to an actor that's in your favorite show and getting to tell them why you love it! It was probably a good thing the guy didn't know it was him 😂😂
5:47 here she is the indominus Rex
Don't forget The Shallows movie and the 90's Movie Octalus aka Dead Rising. A really underestimated fish monster movie. Funny and brutal. Came out a few month after Camerons Titanic and was a complete box office bomb and it was so not deserved, cause it's kinda connected to the Skull Island idea and directed by Stephen Summers.
Also Cliff Curtis is in this, playing Mac in his movie.
Thalassaphobia be like 😱😱 but this also (with in reason) shows me how beautiful the world can be when humans don't touch it ❤❤
If you want to keep the deep sea theme going, I recommend 'The Abyss'(1989). James Cameron
Ohhh!! I’ve had that one on my list for years! Thank you for reminding me! That’s an excellent suggestion 😃
I second, third and fourth this motion !
You guys have to do the sharknado series if not for the ridiculousness of them. Cause you think it can't get any crazier but it keeps saying hold my beer😂.
25:55 I understood that reference.
Bingbing Li wasn't in the sequel, she got into hot water with the chinese government (officially over taxes) but she has only made one movie since The Meg. Her 'taxes' scandal essentially shutdown her career faster than you can say Mel Gibson.
This Meg was killed in the same way the Great White was killed in JAWS -- the book. Brody's victory was over his own fear of the water. He went under the surface and sliced the shark's belly open with a knife. The smaller sharks in the area finished it off.
Just so you know. 😀
Love this Movie❤ Statham Rose Megalodon what more do you need❤ Can't wait to watch the Meg 2...
Pretty sure Pippin was the name of the dog that dies on the beach in jaws too lmao
Aria and Densie I got an interesting story to tell you The part where they're filming the boat scene thin the actress ruby rose she almost drowned during the sad because her feet were And drowned by a bunch of water and the people had to stop for a moment to save her but she's okay but it really did happen during filming this movie !!!
HI GUYS IM WATCHING NOW
HIYA BACK!! Hope you enjoy!!
This was such a fun one! I always worry about the dog. 😅
Excited to see the sequel tomorrow!
Pippin was also the name of the dog on the beach with Alex Kitner - excellent callback.
Actually it was Pipit but close enough. I hated that part of the movie. I did read, however that Spielberg offered an alternate idea of what happened. He was getting feedback from people complaining about that segment and he responded by saying that maybe, just maybe, Pipit didn’t belong to the guy throwing the stick. Maybe he was a neighbors dog who just decided he was tired of chasing the stick and went home. Pipit wasn’t, perhaps, eaten by the shark at all. I can live with that!
Someone probably already told you this, but the dog in The Meg, is a callback to the lab who was eaten in JAWS. 😀 ❤️🎬👍
They didn't seem to notice the Meg getting blown to bits by the nuclear sub at the start
This was AMAZING in the theater!! ❤️🎬👍
The Shallow is also a really good shark movie!
Love this 1 and meg2 so good and because of jason lol one my favourite actors
Megalodon lived in the Early Miocene epochs a time when mammals started to rule the Earth after the extinction of the dinosaurs. This predator lived around 26 million years ago all the way to the Early Pliocene. This animal ruled the oceans and hunted whales (where you saw it did to the whale family), giant squid, sea turtles, and other sharks. It was the apex predator of its time but it had competed against another predatory whale named Livyatan, and Brygmophyseter. It's the ancestor of the Great White Shark, but scientists differ on whether it would have more closely resembled a stockier version of the great white shark, the basking shark, or the sand tiger shark. But as water temperatures began to get cooler, the Ice Age began to change its habitat and the food became scares or for some unknown reason, around 3 million years ago the Megalodon fated into extinction. But some people believe this fish might be lurking somewhere out there in the oceans as part of the cryptozoology. But we don't know.
Just an okay movie, saved by the performance and charm of that little girl🙂
Btw, if you're considering Sharknado, I'd watch the hell out of that.
The first time I watched the first in the series, I absolutely hated it, but when I gave it another go, I laughed my a$$ off again and again🙂
And they just keep making them more absurd, more insane, more ridiculous and also more funny😂
you need to watch sharktopus vs pteracuda
It's interesting to see Ruby Rose in this movie after seeing her in the first season of Batwoman as the title character. Batwoman in comics and other media is the cousin of Batman.
Going deep into the ocean scares me the same way climbing mountains does, when you make it to the top or bottom you just halfway there...
Can this be considered a "B Movie" when it costs SO much money? Not that there's anything wrong with being a B movie. But don't get me wrong, this movie is TONS of fun. And features one of my favorite actors, Cliff Curtis. He's one of those guys who shows up everywhere and is ALWAYS good. Great choice, guys. Thanks!
I myself was asking the same question. Technically no because of it's budget but it definitely gives off that vibe. Just a fun popcorn flick!
I understand completely why you having a good time 😀 everything about Sharks is awesome
Haha sharks are awesome, but a megalodon?? Even better!!
@@OfficialMediaKnights 💪💪💪
The reference to Florida drivers had me on the floor 🤣 I lived there for 5 years. It's sooo accurate ❤ Great video!
Hahaha I need to find a “I survived I-95” hoodie
I laughed too! I have family in Florida. Every time I go, my dad always offers to drive to sacrifice for us. 😂
The launch of the glider reminded me of the launch of Thunderbird 4. 🙂
Now that it's summer again and Shark Week just happened you guys should watch The Shallows with Blake Lively, I personally found it to be a rally good flick.
It was an okay movie but i had read the book and having that anticipation hurt my overall opinion of the film. The part that hurt the most was cutting the Tanaka family and substituting them with Suyin and her father. Two very different kinds of characters and Terry Tanaka was a very likable character for a female lead. I wonder why they changed so much
YES to sharknado!
Steve Alten is an awesome author , he wrote' Dominion- The Mayan Trilogy',a great science fiction series . I hope someday a good director brings them to the screen.🤞
The research we’ve done in the area they are shows that it’s not scientific fact, but that doesn’t mean it’s not happening in other unmapped parts of the ocean. It’s just not in the Marianas Trench
Fun fact for this movie, even if the megalodon swallows you hole you're as good as dead because it's stomach will immediately digest as quick as possible
46:30 "and you guys are in the sky" 🤣🤣 everyone thought that!!!
I know I'm a little behind on catching up with your guys's videos but I love pointing this kind of stuff out not a lot of people notice it but when that submarine imploded in the beginning on the right side you can actually see the Megalodon getting blown up and turning into chunks which is cool cuz Jonas pointed it out later
Nothing spurs a rescue effort like sheer pettiness to prove your ex wrong lmao
Eeeexactly! 😂
You need to see THE THIN RED LINE Best war film ever
Only just found you guys but I love you already you have my sense of humour.... First thing i thought was the jurassic park theme too 🤣 going to check out your others after this
I'm so happy they saved Pippin as well, as there are so many movies that they kill the dog. I want a Pippin now 🙂
17:20 I just saved this up cuz that scene in the film was my fav:)
Your faces when the second one came up, and yes, there is Always a bigger fish !
( sorry, had to )
Do Jaws 3 and Jaws the Revenge. I like Jaws 4 because it has Micheal Caine, my favorite actor, from back in the day. 😊
The dog inn this movie has the same name as the dog in Jaws. Another Jaws reference.
I agree extra points for the movie for keeping the dog alive as well.
Oh definitely, brownie points for that!! The doggos must live!!
@@OfficialMediaKnights agreed yes they really do
For some weird readon i dreamed about this movie last night.
29:39 nah that thing's eyes are sensitive to light
as Qui Qon Jinn once said there's always a bigger fish
also Pippin fool of a took
You'd best rid us of your stupidity by throwing yourself in next time.
Nobody ever watches my favorite of the Jaws movies, which is Jaws 3-D with the young Dennis Quaid, Lea Thompson, and bunch of other people
Poor Gracie and Lucy they were special whales!
one of my top shark popcorn fun movies, the other good shark film is the shallows starring blake lively.
Haha definitely agreed!! We have The Shallows on our list so cannot wait to get to that one asap!
You missed a key Jaws reference. The dog’s name is the same, Pippen.
The one thing about this movie i don't like is the fact I was told about a year or so ago that there was another version of this movie which was just like a rated r version of jaws but on a much larger scale and much bloodier and violent but there a lot of changes and it ended up being a pg-13 watered down cut.
I loved this movie I love the jaws references too the dog in the first jaws was called pippin and he was eaten so I’m called this dog survived and I’m so called you guys picked up on the subtle references I loved Jason statham and the lady that plays Suyin
Took watching g a reaction of Jaws to realize that both dogs were named Pipin. Did you see the "meg" swim out of the mouth of mama meg. I was hoping for more of horror/ suspense.
I got bitten lightly by a shark whilst caugh in the rip between two beaches in Australia. A childhood of many cuts yet this fkker took the cake. 40+ stiches.
The book had a better ending. Taylor sends his submersible right into the meg's mouth, getting swallowed whole. He then cuts his way out of the stomach to the heart and cuts out her heart.
Wait whaaat?! That is a BADASS ending!!

🖤❤️💛
not shark movie but croc/alligator movies : " Lake placid " or " Rogue " are so much fun as well
And 'Alligator' from 1980 is well worth a watch too!
I would recommend crawl.
Thermal layers exist it’s how subs hide from sonar
Jason Statham and y'alls reaction, made the cheese melt away from the movie and became enjoyable. 😊
Aww man! That means the world to us. Thank you! 😃
our fav shark people
Shark Gang ❤️
❤️🙏
Great film reaction!! Such a fun packed entertaining flick! You guys should definitely check out Deep Rising. A cosmic Lovecraftian horror sea film im sure you both will love so highly recommend
If you have a chance i recommend reading the book that the movie is based on Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror, it's a good read. I was in high school when I read it and waited 10 years for a movie to be made and I wasn't disappointed.
You guys should consider reacting to In The Heart of the Sea.
Fact: the female megladon is bigger then the male one
🚨🚨🚨🚨🦈🦈🦈🦈🌪️🌪️🌪️🌪️
Have you guys done the Sharknados? If not YOU HAVE TO!!!! Greatest bad movies of all time!!!!!
Great reaction. A fun movie. And starring Jason Statham as... Jason Statham. 😂
Oh yah this is perfect. 🦈 I knew you will enjoy this guys. 🫶
Such a fun ride man! ❤️

FUNNY COUPLE REACTION - TO MEG (2018 ) FILM !!!!
Dr Heller dying is a huge waste AFTER he’s patched things up with Jonas. There’s huge potential for character growth there. Heller could’ve gone from biggest critic to greatest ally.
so meg 2, its wild :D
I just have to say this...when something wrongly major happens in the world it's always in North America or Asia 😂😂😂 glad I'm from Portugal in Europe!
You guys need to watch the shallows
2:50 That's what she said.
22:16 Yup every team. Even The Italian Job.
But, there's still comic book movie adaptation teams.....or is he just too cool for all that? Yea, he's too cool for it. Boys, Avengers, JLA: he's not interested. Stop calling. LOL
