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!
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.

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.
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 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.

I thought it was a reference to Lord of the Rings.
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 think on every single meg reaction I've seen they always say that they want the shark to jump up and grab the helicopter 😂😂😂
I enjoyed this movie way more than I thought I would. Hope you two had fun!
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
Unexpected duo on first time watching, gotta say love these two 😂😂
The Megalodon is my absolute favorite prehistoric beast.
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.

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
I'm glad Commissioner Gordon appreciated the greatness in monster filmmaking that is MEG. So much fun sharky fun 🤣
Great Reaction Tara and Andrew! Jason Statham is so cool in this movie! 👍
Tara did a great job in the captains chair cool new pairing!
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.

I love you guys reaction to the Pippin still being alive. When I first saw the Meg I was like "oh hell no!
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.
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 😭

Currently sitting on the beach watching this….
I Love this reaction ❤❤❤
Right after I started watching this movie, I got a notification for this 😂. Perfect timing.
This dual was great, they were a BEAUTIFUL disaster. MORE of them. Loved it!
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
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!
Big ancient shark equals big silly fun
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.
This was great! Loved watching these two together :) good fun 👍🏼
Give Tara a red wig and she’s my ideal April O’Neal casting 😭
Pippin was also the name of the dog that got killed by Jaws😊
They got vibes of ex’s
The mag is criminally underrated... Soo 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
Great watch along
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?!!!

The Syfy channel tried making a Megalodon movie (a few in fact)...it didn't receive quite as well...
Anyone else feel like this was secretly set up as a blind date?
greg gets married, now is a youtube matchmaker, lol
Flash gordon is back. Haven't seen him in a video in a bit. Isnt flash usually in the cine pals channel?
Second, bigger shark remains one of my favorite ridiculous twists ever
I was hoping they would fall in love by the end of the movie 😂
I like how Andrew thinks he’s a writer. There’s nothing wrong with the writing. It’s all pretty well done.
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😂
Statham dragging behind the boat reminded me of water world when he went "fishing "
Love the Tara/Flash collab!!!
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.
😂 ring the 🗣️BELLLLLL ✨
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"
A match made in reactor heaven 😌😏
The line is from Ghostbusters. Ernie Hudson.
“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.
That commercial was in the perfect spot
NAAH this is the crossover i needed ❤ singggg TARAA 🔥
Andrew is Coy-level attractive. Also this is a great pairing!
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 🥰💕💫
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!
i really like when family come together
I'm not used to seeing Tara on the left of the screen - she is awesome anyway. Liked both of them together too.
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.
Loving all the combinations, y’all amazing.
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

Tara your the highlight of my week consider doing identity that's an amazing psychological thriller mystery
The most unrealistic part of the movie? When the Asian parent says "I love you" to the Asian child
I like that Tera is here more. She is like the adopted reject
Here for my boy Andrew all the way from CineDesi.
The dog Pippen was named after the dog Pippen who was shark food in Jaws.
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.
Watch it digitally, I love your reactions!
I'm glad y'all watched it it's funny fun 🤣
You guys should watch the second movie on a date. You two would make a good couple.
Great duo!
Meg 2 is just as daft fun.
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.
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 .
38:11 this is too relatable😆
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!!!
I'm excited for this!
great reaction this duo is awesome🙌🏽 thank you rejects❤️🔥
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
Greg I love your crossovers, you’re slowly building the rejectverse hahaha
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.
Thank you reject nation for sharing this movie 🍿 big fan hugs❤
Awesome reaction
A very underrated movie and apt reaction.
You guys really do the best movies
