THE MEG (2018) MOVIE REACTION - SHARK MOVIES ARE GETTING CRAZIER! - First Time Watching - Review

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!

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 😆

[@seanharrison9496]

I caught that when I saw the movie in theaters

[@leeedwards2020]

Dog here was called pippen The dog in Jaws was called Pippet ,but there is definitely a reference

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.

Aree singing the Jurassic Park theme song is hilarious 😆

[@sheilaburns8977]

Yes, I love that theme song too!!

[@shainewhite2781]

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.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

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!

[@bridgethaines7127]

And bearing almost zero resemblance to the book at all whatsoever. Fun in it's own right, however.

[@shyfoxfeatherhere6446]

i didn't know Del Toro was apart of this movie

[@BarronessM]

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.

Two of the absolutely best shark movies are the shallows and 47 meters down. So good 👌👌👌

[@creaturemonk]

​@OfficialMediaKnights don't forget 47 meters down uncaged

47 Meters ... Uncaged

[@BubblyRainbows]

@@creaturemonk I don't want to spoil anything by asking about specifics (please don't give any), but if "47 Meters Down: Uncaged" is the one I think it is, I _really_ liked that one. Personally, I also liked "Open Water," "The Shallows," and even though it's not a shark movie, I always have to recommend "Soul Surfer" whenever shark movies come up. True story about an _amazing_ human being.

[@sheeps1495]

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.

[@PBRatLord]

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 !

[@miri6220]

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 😁😁

[@KxxSxrx]

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

[@whitneytincher6016]

You guys are awesome! Bring on ALL of the Creature Feature reactions. 😄

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Haha aw thank you, you are awesome!! We are definitely loving our creature features and will be sharing more very soon!!

[@BigBear--]

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.

[@blueeyedcowboy8291]

I think "The Shallows" was a really good scary as hell shark movie. "47 Meters Down" is another good one. Definitely check those out for next years summer shark movies. Great reaction, I liked this movie.

[@beth3263]

Pink Venom has a few references to other music icons as well, if you look hard enough - Kick in the door, waving the coco - reference to Notorious BIG One by one, two by two - Rihanna Look what you made us do - Taylor Swift Maybe more, but those are the ones I'm aware of 😊 The mv videos in this video are all the ones I would recommend for first time listeners, so i think youve hit the nail on the head

[@kylenaversen]

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.

A split second to make a decision, and a lifetime to tear it apart

[@DarkKnightBatman420]

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.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

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 😂😂

[@michaelbaumert9533]

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.

[@kikibwellness]

This was such a fun one! I always worry about the dog. 😅 Excited to see the sequel tomorrow!

[@chrisclay7013]

Pippin was also the name of the dog on the beach with Alex Kitner - excellent callback.

[@myroselle6987]

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!

[@kushminister5137]

good thing in these films, pippin stays with the immunity buff

[@NemiDK81]

Yes sharknado!!!!!

[@j.j.h.atemycereal]

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!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

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!

[@codyt821]

Pretty sure Pippin was the name of the dog that dies on the beach in jaws too lmao

[@FinarfinNoldorin]

It was great watching this movie with you! Thank you!!

[@digitalalchemy6414]

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.

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.

[@lucidhound4632]

The little yorkie named Pippin is actually a reference to Jaws from the beach scene with the black lab who was also named Pippin.

[@Shanosuke]

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

The Shallow is also a really good shark movie!

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.

So.....this is a year old but anyway...massive animals creep up on you pretty well, actually. On my 40th birthday I swam with whale sharks, all over 20 feet long and one a full 30. Naturally, that was the one that snuck up on me. You'd think a person would notice an animal the size of a schoolbus heading right for you, but oh boy I sure didn't, until my world went brown and polka-dotty. I was in no danger, as I had been told that whale sharks on the whole have the average IQ as a jar of mayonnaise and I don't think she even noticed me rolling down her back and wondering what the hell just happened. Also you mentioned how well the references to Jaws were but I think you missed Pippen. That was the name of the dog that was eaten in Jaws. Or at least implied eaten. All that was shown is the stick floating and no dog.

[@richardpickett3882]

I would recommend crawl.
