So if they know that there’s a big shark some where in the ocean, why don’t they get a team on the water to lure it to them and then get some military aircraft in the sky to shoot it with heavy weaponry once it reveals itself?
The sharks are trapped in a thermal vent or some shit and its not that big of a deal to kill them now that we are aware of them. Not hard at all. They live in some contained dangerous pocket of the ocean and there are worse things there.
They could, but they're under time constraints in a very remote location where it would take hours for the military to respond. The bad guys also employ signal jamming, as one of the main goals of the characters is to alert the authorities.
No. You'll immediately notice the horrendous Chinese style of editing movies. It's completely unwatchable. And of course at around 4 minutes in, it becomes WOAH LOOK HOW HIGH-TECH THE BUGMEN ARE!!1!1!! If you need another example, sit through the first couple minutes of 'Wandering Earth 2'
> is the qt chink wife back
No. She died off screen because irl the actress was arrested for massive tax fraud, vanished for a year during which she became the sex slave for top CCP officials (I'm not even joking).
My apologies. I got my Chin Chang Bing Ling's confused. I've also lost count of how many chinese actresses it's happened to. Pay your tax bills you idiots.
Its like a Chinese version of jurassic world
The kind of movie you would catch your ex girlfriend's dad watching, and he'd say something like "I've seen this one, its good"
And you'd spend the rest of the day wondering how someone could watch a movie like this more than once
>Its like a Chinese version of jurassic world
Thought the same thing, I don't know if it's faithful to the Alten novels but the ecoterrorism/underground mining plot reminded me of the locust corpo plot in the last JW, a lot of that should have been cut or edited. At least the actual monster scenes did their job, I didn't hate Statham and I liked the Jaws and Jaws 3D references.
A lot of it sucks and just feels like it's wasting your time >megs take a backseat to shady underwater mining operation >black guy keeps stopping the movie to deliver exposition about what a badass he has become >human villains and the dynamics between them are a waste of time, the boss lady is killed by a dino and no one even sees it happen >lower level thug villains keep pursuing the protagonists after their boss is dead
Also in terms of structure and locations it's basically a copy of the first movie.
Only big difference is there are 3 megs and a kraken now (a kraken whose existence no one reacts to)
it wasnt even about the sharks anymore. Some stupid prehistoric creatures were also in the movie and a shoehorned le evil mining operation where the sharks were in the first movie
The second book is all about an evil Russian man trying to mine in the trench for magical hydrogen isotopes that make fusion the best cleanest purest energy source so he's going to perfect it and achieve world domination. So it makes sense that they'd put some kind nod to it in the movie.
Who cares, the movie still sucks. And it wasn't even a small nod, it was a major plot point, the mining facility scenes filled at least one third of the entire movie.
I haven't seen 2 yet but the first one was fricking awful so of course it sucked. And like I said, the book is all about that. The evil Russian guy is introduced at the start and then he kidnaps Jonas' Asian waifu and takes her down to the trench where dinosaur nonsense happens and the whole climax of the book happens down there so it would make sense for them to pretend to give a shit about that part of it since they took the name of the book.
1 is at least dumb fun, it has good moments and it can be entertaining if you're just looking for dumb action. 2 is just all over the place but it's not fun, just boring. Gotta give them props for putting a big titted asian girl wearing a bikini in a one minute scene, but at that point it's not even worth watching the movie, just watch JAV.
Don't even bother, she's on screen for like ten seconds actually. She has one line, but she's not even a side character, she's an extra. Also, not exactly a bikini, I remembered wrong.

There we go, no need to go watch the movie anymore.

It's unreal that you're right. It's there, and no one even talks about or acknowledges. Even when the one Chinese guy goes to try and kill it, I'm pretty sure he talks about the sharks lmao

Does she die horribly in a tastefully done shower scene? If so, post webm. Is her performance good, she normally does only goodie two-shoes characters. I've never seen her play bad or evil.
>in a tastefully done shower scene
I wish. >Is her performance good
She plays "generic evil b***h", nothing special about it. If you're looking to see her wet or in skimpy clothes, you're out of luck. She looks hot wearing glasses, I guess.
She looks sweet and innocent and is wearing glasses but she's actually EVIL. Give me a kiddie pool, a plastic shark from the 99 Cent store, her and the Chinese chick with big boobs and I could've made a better movie with like 1% of the budget.
It was supposed to be funny when the guy proposes to his wife but drops the ring and when he turns around to look for her she is gone because a giant octopus snatched her down to Davy Jones’ Locker.
>Jason Statham goes free diving at the bottom of the Mariana Trench with zero oxygen in his lungs for 5 minutes right after someone else dies from explosive decompression when their pressure suit cracks
I genuinely couldn't, it's the worst and most insultingly stupid scene I've ever witnessed.
As a boomer that sat through jaws 3d too, I’d rather watch that than Chinese action slop. There’s something otherworldly about how low quality Chinese action movies are.
Remember how the first meg movie was just some fun popcorn action flick? They decided to get rid of that for the sequel and push environmental politics in such a heavy-handed and propagandistic manner that it would actually make James Cameron cringe in disgust. It felt like if John Kerry wrote the script
Yes. It's 3 movies in one:
-after a brief introduction, an underwater action adventure segment
-a fight/shootout action sequence in the platform
-a final action sequence involving the sharks in a resort Island that's similar to Piranha 3D but not quite as fresh.
The trailer does not fool you and the movie offers the popcorn fun you expect no more no less
yes
it tried to be 5 movies at once and it was terrible
So if they know that there’s a big shark some where in the ocean, why don’t they get a team on the water to lure it to them and then get some military aircraft in the sky to shoot it with heavy weaponry once it reveals itself?
(I’ve never watched this movie)

Worst things disaster wise or animals?
Without knowing too much about the novels I assumed these movies were building up to a massive Moby Dick appearance.
They could, but they're under time constraints in a very remote location where it would take hours for the military to respond. The bad guys also employ signal jamming, as one of the main goals of the characters is to alert the authorities.

Idk how to describe it but Chinese action films feel like they take place in an alternate reality. Nothing feels real.
is the qt chink wife back or does he have the father and daughter relation like man of fire at least?
> is the qt chink wife back
No. She died off screen because irl the actress was arrested for massive tax fraud, vanished for a year during which she became the sex slave for top CCP officials (I'm not even joking).
That was Fan Bingbing. Bingbing Li is the actress from The Meg
My apologies. I got my Chin Chang Bing Ling's confused. I've also lost count of how many chinese actresses it's happened to. Pay your tax bills you idiots.
She died in between movies of "Notcomingbackforthesequelitis."
Super.
The last 20 minutes is. Dumb fun giant monsters on a rampage and people defeating them in the dumbest ways.
Up to that it's honestly just the most painful kind of dumb, where you'd really have to turn your brain off to even get through it let alone enjoy it.

Jawsbros...
Dont worry, Jaws is still the best giant animal movie out there.
Nah, it was stupid as frick but not even "funny bad", it's just boring. Stick to the first one.
Someone post Skyler Samuels webms. I just want to see her and don't really want to see the rest of the movie.
Her character is secretly evil and dies horribly in the movie.
Does she die horribly in a tastefully done shower scene? If so, post webm. Is her performance good, she normally does only goodie two-shoes characters. I've never seen her play bad or evil.

My vote goes yes and it is exactly that.
the last 20 minutes are for sure
still better than any Hollywood blockbuster and it's terrible
Why do Chinese like this crap? I thought asians were meant to be smarter than Black folk and mutts. Yet they keep Transformers going, ffs.
trans movies were good though
It's one of those movies where someone could vastly improve it by making it into a highlight reel that cuts out everything but the monster scenes.
First is dumb fun kino.
Second is just meh.
Wasn't too into chinese broads (language sounds horrific) but this movie cast doubt
It's certainly dumb. But I didn't have much fun.
Go read the first two books these movies are based on instead, you'll have a much better time.
Somehow "The Meg™" has returned.
I would support the sea animal over Jason Statham any day
This movie is actually too dumb to be fun.
>Jason Statham goes free diving at the bottom of the Mariana Trench with zero oxygen in his lungs for 5 minutes right after someone else dies from explosive decompression when their pressure suit cracks
I genuinely couldn't, it's the worst and most insultingly stupid scene I've ever witnessed.
Frick all of you.
I had to sit in a theater as a kid and see Jaws 3/D with my family.
You kids nowadays are softer than baby shit.
As a boomer that sat through jaws 3d too, I’d rather watch that than Chinese action slop. There’s something otherworldly about how low quality Chinese action movies are.

Good movie, makes the /misc/chuds mad.
DUUUUDE JUST GO SWIM IN WATER 25K FEET DOWN JUST HOLD YOUR BREATH homie
Someone should have told those people in the titanic sub.
Dumb as frick. The only fun scene was when the hot blonde b***h gets eaten.
I liked how they tried to have a breasts and ass bikini beach scene but because of the chinese censors they did everything they could not to show it.
The normie’s “HAHAHAH i love movies that don’t take themselves seriously xddd”
The first movie was dumb fun. This one was just aggressively stupid and unfun in a Sharknado sequel way.
I can't wait for Meg 3
Sure if you have bug brain that gets excited by looking at flashy screen.
After watching this movie I realized I need a Chinese wife ASAP ASAP ASAP
Yes. It's 3 movies in one:
-after a brief introduction, an underwater action adventure segment
-a fight/shootout action sequence in the platform
-a final action sequence involving the sharks in a resort Island that's similar to Piranha 3D but not quite as fresh.

Thought it was pretty fricking boring
no it's just dumb
