My boy Statham was holding back a Megalodons gaping jaw with nothing but his leg, of course I'm ready!
@@mimic1984he wasn't holding it back. He was holding himself back from sliding into its mouth
@@RockenTravis My mistake. Still looked funny to me, either way I'm in.
Of course.....I don't care if the writing isn't very good,but I dohope it is.I just wanna see the kraken vs and megalodon and Jason Statham killing it with a sword
Nah
This is a crossover we didn't expect. Gregg was like a mama setting up her daughter with a boy 😂
Love the jp logo
First date esque
I have a suggestion, do a reaction from the movie "bucket list".
For those who‘ve missed it. At 2:51, when the sub explodes, for a short second, you can see the shark getting blown up as well!
I love the reel rejects cast. Any which combination you give us, it's like a second family. I have no idea how well it would work but man imagine an "everyone is here" reaction, though rip to whoever would have to edit that
Rejects Assemble!
Let's be real, we only one we ever cared about surviving was the dog. This and _Deep Blue Sea_ are easily the best shark movies that aren't _Jaws,_ a movie I can just have fun with. Put it on as well as _Lake Placid_ or _Arachnophobia_ and I'm entertained. That's all I expected from this and I was not disappointed.
Agreed
What about Sharktopus vs Whalewolf? It's the best shark film ever made ever.
ahhhh Deep Blue Sea 👌 childhood classic
I love Lake Placid. Strangely a comfort movie to me. Same for Deep Blue Sea
I also wanted the little girl and jason statham to survive😂
I think the caught megaldon was it's infant, and it came to remove it from the boat. I haven't seen any of the reactors that have watched this catch the name of the dog "pippin" in this movie and the lady calling his name over and over again from Jaws when the guy in thecyellow shirt was calling for his dog pippin. When I first saw this in the theater, it tickeled me that they used it as a comedic call back to Jaws.
Wow I’m so ashamed of myself for not catching that!!!
I thought it was a reference to Lord of the Rings.
For a movie that is so unbelievable, it does a lot of really good things. The underwater shots feel almost like star wars. The cgi looks amazing, the gills moving on the shark and other small details really made it look real.
I don’t know why, but anytime I‘m sitting down and there’s simply nothing good findable to watch, The Meg is the movie I resort back to. I‘ve lost count over how many times I‘ve watched this movie, but somehow, it’s still entertaining.
I'm kind of like this with The Martian.
30:30 The “This wasn’t part of the job description” line always reminds me of the movie Thirteen Ghosts, where at the end Maggie says the same line & that she’s quitting!
I enjoyed this movie way more than I thought I would. Hope you two had fun!
Another JAWS reference - 3 floats
Jaws - they attached 3 barrels or floats, if you were fishing, to the shark
Meg - at the ludicrously crowded beach Meg was dragging 3 rafts, also called floats
Based on the 1997 novel of the same name by Steve Alten.
It took them 20 years to make this movie happen, as a lot of directors were considered for helming the project, including Guillermo Del Toro, Eli Roth, and Jan De Bont.
Like the novel better. Still like the movie though. Was a fun ride.
@@magnuswendin7924 Huge Peter Benchley fan here, Jaws, The Beast, and White Shark some of my faves... would you consider the Alten novel in that same vein, or more like the movie? Much appreciated magnus, shaine
Guillermo Del Toro would have been so awesome!
New Line Cinema made Meg movie release summer 2006.
Unexpected duo on first time watching, gotta say love these two 😂😂
The Meg is a great film. Seems like all of you enjoyed it.
like Citizen Kane?
i need more CinePals and Reel Rejects crossovers ASAP
Same. It threw me for a loop at first.
The Megalodon is my absolute favorite prehistoric beast.
This team up feels like one of those times when you, your friend and their friend are hanging out and your friend goes, “hold up, I need to use the bathroom real quick…”, and you and their friend just sit there like 😐 but in this case it’s less awkward lol
I'm glad Commissioner Gordon appreciated the greatness in monster filmmaking that is MEG. So much fun sharky fun 🤣
I think on every single meg reaction I've seen they always say that they want the shark to jump up and grab the helicopter 😂😂😂
The Chinese artists and their production here were the best part of this film. Usually, Hollywood butchers their collaboration, and here it's done right. More such needs to happen. Like John wick series, esp 4 did a perfect collaboration, too.
And yes, that cute teacup puppy swimming is just chefs kiss.
You know in John Wick Part 4 they were in Japan, not China, right?
😂but also killing all the Japanese characters or coreans characters so i don't know if it's good
I love this movie. Not my all time favorite but just a honest good cheesy movie who knows what it is. If any movie is allowed to have its jump the shark moments. I would have to say it should be a movie about a literal giant shark.
Great Reaction Tara and Andrew! Jason Statham is so cool in this movie! 👍
I remember seeing this movie weeks before going on a trip to Carolina. We'd be on the beach and I would get scared everytime I went in the water. I was only in there for short bursts 😅
Nah this duo is already funny from the intro 😭
Which Carolina lol
@@antitatr7438 I don't even remember 😭
That is crazy that these two didn't know each other because they are both my two favorite extended rejects family... Tara will always be my number one though!
Tara did a great job in the captains chair cool new pairing!
I love you guys reaction to the Pippin still being alive. When I first saw the Meg I was like "oh hell no!
I will literally watch any reaction you post with Tara in it. Love her!! ♥️
The amount of homages to Jaws that people miss when reacting to this blows my mind.
Maybe because I have seen Jaws about a million times so they scream out to me but how can you miss that the dog is called Pippin for god's sake?!!!
To be fair I pointed out a lot of references from Jaws but yes I did miss that one. I’m so mad about it lol
@@andrewgordon7662 🤣🤣🤣
@@andrewgordon7662 I just realised you're you! That wasn't a criticism of you by the way just an observation on the myriad Meg reactions I've watched. You were on the ball👍🏻
Does anyone else crack up from listening to some of these edits? "I think that was a great scene. Grounded, believable, good emotion / chinese"... 🤣 I can't help but crack up sometimes
The beginning was so awkward I love it🤣
Give Tara a red wig and she’s my ideal April O’Neal casting 😭
This dual was great, they were a BEAUTIFUL disaster. MORE of them. Loved it!
Fun flick and Jason really shines in these roles. All The Meg Scenes Are Just Ridiculous Fun, Excited for Part II And Hope to get more Of The Meg.
Right after I started watching this movie, I got a notification for this 😂. Perfect timing.
Pippin was also the name of the dog that got killed by Jaws😊
The part at the end when Jason stabbed the shark in the eye and it jumped out of the water. Jason actually did that shot and that just blows my mind how cool he is😂
The Syfy channel tried making a Megalodon movie (a few in fact)...it didn't receive quite as well...
Second, bigger shark remains one of my favorite ridiculous twists ever
Big ancient shark equals big silly fun
I like how Andrew thinks he’s a writer. There’s nothing wrong with the writing. It’s all pretty well done.
The mag is criminally underrated... Soo good!
Anyone else feel like this was secretly set up as a blind date?
Currently sitting on the beach watching this….
This was great! Loved watching these two together :) good fun 👍🏼
Ah damn, my apologies. I saw Flash and clicked on this thinking this was a Cinepals video. I'm like "why is Greg on this review"
I was just watching this yesterday. This was really one of the best shark movies since the Jaws movies and Deep Blue Sea. Also, "This isn't in the job description" I've heard that in Shrek 1 when he and Donkey rescue Fiona and she ask "How will you kiss me?" This was a great reaction
That's not saying much. lol
Alot of people hated on this movie but i loved the hell out of it
This movie reminds me of a higher budget, better acted, higher quality Syfy Channel original monster movie (B movies like:
Piranhaconda
the Sharknado Saga
Sharktopus
Sharktopus vs Whalewolf
Sharktopus vs Pteracuda
Ghost Shark
Atomic Shark
Toxic Shark
Zombie Sharks
Ozark Sharks
Sand Sharks
Ice Sharks
Planet of the Sharks
Empire of the Sharks
Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus
Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus
Mega Shark vs Mecha Shark
Two Headed Shark Attack
Three Headed Shark Attack
Five Headed Shark Attack
Six Headed Shark Attack
Santa Jaws
Dino Shark
Super Shark
Dinocroc
Supergator
Dinocroc vs Supergator
Swamp Shark
Dam Sharks
Trailer Park Shark
Avalanche Sharks
Jersey Shore Shark Attack
Malibu Shark Attack
Mississippi River Sharks
Shark Night
Frenzy
Triassic Attack
Basilisk: The Serpent King
Ogre
Rock Monster
Rise of the Gargoyles
Chupacabra vs the Alamo
Arachnoquake
Lavalantulas
Ice Spiders
Camel Spiders
Big Ass Spider (seriously, these are all very real movies)...the list goes on and on, I didn't even scratch the surface on how many of these kind of movies there are) this isn't a bad thing imo, I absolutely adore these movies, they're so bad they're good.
I just went to the theather randomly in september of 2018 and this movie was pretty fun i wont lie. It was really unexpected but good
They got vibes of ex’s
I was hoping they would fall in love by the end of the movie 😂
Andrew is Coy-level attractive. Also this is a great pairing!
I'm not used to seeing Tara on the left of the screen - she is awesome anyway. Liked both of them together too.
Statham dragging behind the boat reminded me of water world when he went "fishing "
The most unrealistic part of the movie?
When the Asian parent says "I love you" to the Asian child
Flash gordon is back. Haven't seen him in a video in a bit.
Isnt flash usually in the cine pals channel?
“Fin” is French for “finish” but it also used to be used at the end of a play or a movie. Great pun, in this case.
I Love this reaction ❤❤❤
I really liked the film and I'm looking forward to the date to go see the second film in the cinema, I'm really liking the video 🥰💕💫
It's a tiny thing but I pove how they call the dog Pippin. Like the dog in Jaws. Loads of great parallels to Jaws tbh. I thought they gave homage to Jaws really well without taking away from the story they wanted to tell.
The line is from Ghostbusters. Ernie Hudson.
Loving all the combinations, y’all amazing.
😂 ring the 🗣️BELLLLLL ✨
I like that Tera is here more. She is like the adopted reject
Based on a series of books I knew of prior to it's film adaptation.
Also Jason Statham's biggest film as an leading man.
Saw it in IMAX and loved every minute of it.
It's JAWS on Steroids, no doubt about it.
Some people were so quick to hate on it for 'Trying to be like JAWS" and by no means necessary is it trying to be.
The supporting cast, special effects and set pieces are pretty good.
Scenes of characters trying to get away from or fight this monster is either thrilling or hilarious.
This is just a really expensive B-movie.
Of all the other hundreds of shark-related movies they got made and released, it gets no bigger than this (literally, figuratively).
I just saw Part 2 aka The Trench.
Not too bad.
Longer running time than the first.
It has more suspense and humor than the first film.
This channel really makes any duo work like magic! I started watching this movie but didn’t really get into it, but seeing this reaction I had so much fun!
Love the Tara/Flash collab!!!
The dog lived, YAY! The little girl is the absolute best! She's sassy. She's smart. And she can keep her shit together in a stressful situation.
NAAH this is the crossover i needed ❤ singggg TARAA 🔥
greg gets married, now is a youtube matchmaker, lol
What killed Su Yens father was internal bleeding because he got hit by a heavy object as the boat was sinking. Also yes sharks are mostly opportunistic feeders rather it be a rotten dead whale or another shark they will eat it if it means an easy fast and fullfilling meal with little to no energy usage.
Btw now you guys need to watch Meg 2. The little girl is in it (shes older obviously) and shes just as amazing. Also, Jason is in it as well as pretty much everyone who survived in this first one (cept for one character but thats somewhat explained in the 2nd) edit: posted this before i fount you watched it lol. Gonna fo watch that reaction next!!!
During one dive I was in I got the jump scare of my life when a newborn great white pup no bigger than 6 feet came out of nowhere. We were in murky water where you could not see anything past a outstretched hand which gave the shark the added advantage but even in clearer water you'd be surprised just how often people have been around big sharks like great whites and never even had a clue they were there.
Great watch along
A match made in reactor heaven 😌😏
That commercial was in the perfect spot
Did they really miss the dad getting hit with that raft?!!😮😱😳
I definitely needed to revisit this, I was a bit harsh on my first comment saying Tara should have been paired with someone else, I didn’t mean anything negative towards Andrew, I really enjoy him and his reactions with cobra kai, it was very different seeing him with Tara and I gave up after 5 minutes, but I sat down and watched the whole thing and I actually enjoyed it, Greg warned us at first and I was just an ass about it, but it actually worked, I really enjoyed their reaction, I enjoyed the takes and commentary they both had on on it. It as great it was funny, I had a good time watching, my only gripe with this movie is ruby rose being in it and looking strung out as hell, and so I loved Andrews reaction to not even really being familiar with her at the beginning
Watch it digitally, I love your reactions!
I was glad when I stumbled on this movie while trying to find something to check out it was a fun watch though
Sure as crazy it is, its just a movie to have fun. The next one might embrace the craziness even more. I am hyped AF for it
So frigging excited for this love Tara and her ring my bell
Tara your the highlight of my week consider doing identity that's an amazing psychological thriller mystery
Fun movie and amazing commentary thank you reel rejects 💪🏻 this is awesome
I don’t expect much from Meg 2, so I vote for waiting to watch it on the channel
The back of the small motor boat plowed him in his chest, basically rupturing his organs, it happened when he fell off the boat
Here for my boy Andrew all the way from CineDesi.
I'm glad y'all watched it it's funny fun 🤣
great reaction this duo is awesome🙌🏽 thank you rejects❤️🔥
3:43 this is why I like this movie. Their are scientist they have big centre they are studying the see animals. They have knowledge.
Just seen this on Netflix it’s epic I loved it
The dog Pippen was named after the dog Pippen who was shark food in Jaws.
This movie is fun, I love it and watch it every shark week
Legends say Meg killed all the megalodon experts in the world, so they can claim Megaldon were killing dinosaurs in Meg 2. Meg 3 will be on the dark side of the moon where the Megalodon is fighting for the moon Nazis.
Greg I love your crossovers, you’re slowly building the rejectverse hahaha
A very underrated movie and apt reaction.
Thank you reject nation for sharing this movie 🍿 big fan hugs❤
pretty sure the line "this wasn't part of the job" was from deep blue sea the chef that worked on the crew said it I believe .
You guys really do the best movies
One of the greatest "bad" movies. Perfect blend of being ridiculous and clearly knowing their shit.
I actually enjoyed the original movie but had a lot of fun with this
I saw one of my crushes Andrew "Flash" Gordon in the thumbnail and I gotta click on it.
