    Viewer Question:
    Micha - I really believe there are some movies that just shouldn’t be made. The Meg is one of those and The Meg 2 is one of those too. I had no idea they were thinking about doing a meg sequel and when I saw on twitter that they’re already making it I just had to ask WHY? Ok a giant shark, wow we haven’t seen that before. Seriously, why do you think they’re even bothering to make this one? Thank.

    The Meg was a big, dumb, FUN movie. I see nothing wrong with turning my brain off for two hours. I feel kind of bad for the person asking the question, who obviously cannot switch his brain off. People like that sadden me.

    The Meg was a fun horror action movie which equaled a fun summer at the movies. It made people laugh, while jumó in some scenes here and there while making us appreciate the unknown mysteries of our ocean. So I’m down for a Meg 2!!

    The Meg was just pure fun. The plot was basic yet different enough to be interesting, the characters were bland but fun and over the top, and the action was always the highlight. Hope they don’t go full on copying the aliens 2 school for smaller monsters more monsters in the sequel

    One of the things we Finnish people can be proud of in Hollywood is Die Hard 2, which was directed by our Renny Harlin, who ironically also directed Cutthroat Island. But I have always liked Deep Blue Sea as well by Harlin.

  • @FestArc

    The Meg is a great 'In The Moment" movie. I enjoyed it when I first saw it in the movie theater. I bought it on Bluray and enjoyed it again with friends and family. But I haven't watched it since. It's just not something that jumps to the front of my mind when I'm choosing a movie to watch. However, I know when MEG 2 gets closer to release I will no doubt be rewatching Meg. Hopefully, the second one will be as entertaining as the first. I'm also a sucker for 'creature features' and shark movies in general. As mentioned in this video Deep Blue Sea is great, The Shallows is great, 47 Meters Down is great. I also put Croc and Gator movies in the same boat (pun not intended). Crawl is one that came out recently that was great. So yeah, I would never be the guy to as why something is being made especially if it's a creature feature. Because there's a market and a lot of love for the creature feature. Especially one that has a big or decent budget attached to it.

    I actually really enjoyed The Meg, and not in a “So bad it’s good” kind of way like a lot of other people say they did, I thought it was a legitimately good movie, I don’t exactly think they should be making a sequel though, I think this should’ve just been a one and done kind of movie, I hope I end up enjoying this one too but I’m not gonna lie, I don’t think we needed it

    • @Merdicano
      @Merdicano 2 роки тому

      I found it quite entertaining and solid enough, pretty good cast as a matter of fact. My issue was that the middle act of the movie was really weak to me, like, something about the story at that point just made me distracted and look at my phone because it didn't felt interesting. But just that

    As one of the few people who have read all The Meg novels.. It's basically aquatic Jurassic Park. The 7th and final book is coming out this summer. I really hope one day we get to see Steve Alten's ideas on the big screen. It's so much more then just big shark carnage. Much like Venom I was there day 1 for The Meg, and will be there day 1 for the sequel.

    As for the Meg, and I enjoyed it. It wasn't anything groundbreaking, but me and my kids had fun watching it. I dunno that I'll go to the theater to see it, but I'd watch it on streaming or HBO if it's on there.
