Member DragonClaws Posted April 13, 2017 Member Share Posted April 13, 2017 Thought we already a thread for this movie, but it appears to have been a casuality of the technical problems the forum had. Statham with co-star Lee Bingbing on the set of Meg. Statham says shark movie is "really good...apparently" Link- http://www.denofgeek.com/uk/movies/meg/44534/meg-statham-says-shark-movie-is-really-good-apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member whitesnake Posted April 10, 2018 Member Share Posted April 10, 2018 Official release date for The Meg is August 10th, 2018. The Megalodon is the largest shark that ever existed. Some believe it's still out there, feeding on humpback whales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be, the most unexplored parts of the planet are it's many oceans, and while I dont know the exact percentage, there's a lot more water than land. The film looks fun, nice to see a big pop corn movie thats not driven purely by Marvel or D.C characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Drunken Monk Posted April 11, 2018 Member Share Posted April 11, 2018 While I wish Statham would stick to fisticuffs, this looks like big, silly fun. I won't run out to the cinema to watch it but it might be worthy of a weekend watch when it finally makes its way to streaming services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DragonClaws Posted April 11, 2018 Author Member Share Posted April 11, 2018 Maybe they should have hired this guy to deal with the big shark instead?.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member robbie Posted July 24, 2018 Member Share Posted July 24, 2018 This is probably the film I am most looking forward to this year . Hopefully it will be another classic like mechanic resurrection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member robbie Posted August 14, 2018 Member Share Posted August 14, 2018 Another statham classic . Hopefully they decide to do the r rated cut on bluray as would then be even better.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted August 22, 2018 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2018 Got through watching this one over the weekend....more 'Sharknado' than 'Jaws', but some good moments (and a bizarre speech about how cruel it is to eat shark fin soup). I gave it the full review treatment below - http://cityonfire.com/the-meg-2018-review/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member robbie Posted August 22, 2018 Member Share Posted August 22, 2018 Loved this film. . . i thought the cgi was good and doubt Eli Roth would have done a better job. Maybe it was more in the tradition of sharknado than jaws but i found it more entertaining than both. I think most people enjoyed it. That's why it's taken $300 million in 2 weeks. This was more in the action / adventure realm than horror. Hopefully they will add the r rated stuff to bluray then it will be one of best films of all time. Here are parts of your reviews i disagreed with. Nothing wrong with a person thanking him from being rescued and him replying your welcome. This is how people usually react in England where i am from ,especially if not know person too well. We do not need to turn into gangsta rappers and start swearing or crying like a little girl . . So extra mark for that. Also this is an A movie not a B movie . Budget is too high . (There is no such thing as high budget B movie). Comparing it or saying it's a B movie is Just an attemp to have a dig at a quality film I also agree with Li bingbing on the waste of using the shark fin for soup. . I like Tomato soup and chicken soup but shark fin soup does not really appeal to me. I have never even seen any shark fin soup at local supermarket, so why bother, let the shark keep its fin . Again extra mark for that. My rating is 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted August 22, 2018 Member Share Posted August 22, 2018 Why do you keep bitching out and editing your post to make them less offensive? You do this almost every time. Are you not man enough to stand by your words, or do you just realise you're being a douche and then don't have the balls to be one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member SamSeed Posted August 23, 2018 Member Share Posted August 23, 2018 I enjoyed this. A lot of fun, nice character humour and the action on the big screen was great. But will I rewatch? Nope. One of those easy to watch films that isn't worth adding to your collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to keep it pg-13 like the meg .So have to edit it. I am not bitching i just do not agree with some points of review which is fair. Not being a douche all points are spot on. I won every debate hands down. Last city on fire review i saw was 9.5 for buybust and the action looked so sloppy but what do i know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, I'd recommend switching the auto-correct which frequently screws up your grammar from Romanian to English, then what you want to say will likely be a lot more clear. 1 hour ago, robbie said: i stand by my words its just some of you lot get so offended and report my like little girls if i say anything that can be deemed mildly offensive .

Member Drunken Monk Posted August 23, 2018 Member Share Posted August 23, 2018 $300 millions on a $130 million budget (before marketing costs). I haven't seen the film yet but something tells me we're going to see The Meg 2: Even Meggier at some point. It looks like lowbrow cinema is still something the general public loves. I'll probably give this a watch eventually. I thoroughly enjoy films like Deep Rising and The Shallows. I even watched Deep Blue Sea the other week and got a kick out of it.

You've lost me on this point though, is this relating to comments which have been edited? What debates are you referring to? CGI was descent in this and it's usage is fine on this. How would you make a film about a 70 ft shark? A model shark would be difficult. Comparing CGI in this to wirefu is crazy. Wirefu sucks because no martial artist past or present bounces over roof tops and spins like a tangled up spider. Nothing in the meg is as dumb as that. But you and some others like to insinuate that I am stupid , illiterate & racist basically because I have laughed at a few of your favourite films . I never do spellcheck or auto correct . You need it more than I do. I also never deleted any real digs, the guy was stirring. Where was this type of review style when buybust was up on cityonfire. I saw alot of faults on that and i only saw the trailer. Hope you get a few tins of shark fin soup free for that review. Probably when it comes out on bluray they can do an r rated blood red tomato soup version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Koravec Posted August 24, 2018 Member Share Posted August 24, 2018 The bickering has me laughing right now. 😂 I dont know any of the past remarks between anyone to choose sides, but as of now I hope Robbie doesn't get booted off the site or anything. I just saw this movie yesterday and was planning a relatively douschey review on it myself, should I reconsider or post it as I planned? Im honestly still trying to find a good medium in terms of reviewing things, as Im new to it. Seems like a tough balance between entertaining and professional. To be honest too many reviewers on this site forget to add in their own bits of personality and opinions into their writing imo. As much as we should appriciate each other taking time to write about flicks for others to reference, we also should desire honest thoughts and outlooks. If we're only looking for a synopsis than we could just refer to the product page or trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
