Is it just me or does a sci-fi movie where vegetables have become giant mutant creatures thanks to a Mad Scientist are taking over the world sound cool.
Like seriously have there be four main characters, a chef, a college biology student, a guy who hates eating his vegetables, and the comic relief, team up together to fight the mutant vegetables and deal with each of their vegetable related issues.
The characters(and who I think would play them)
-The Chef: Michelin chef, uses his cooking skills to fight the vegitables as he has been trained to know how to prepare a vegitables and therefore knows their weaknesses. Would be played by Hiroyuki Sanada
-The biology Student: She is super smart and nerdy. Goes to an Ivy League school. Her part in this is personal between her and the scientist who made the vegitables evil. Played by: Letitia Wright
-The Vegitable Hater: Hes just a not so smart gym jock who watched the vegitables kill his family. He has no benefit to the team, he's just out for revenge. Played by: Dave Bautista
-The Comic Relief: Scared of everything but pretends to be cool about it. Actually has some pretty good fighting skills but is just too scared of the mutant vegitables to use them. He would have to be played by: Page Kennedy
-Evil Mad Scientist: Don't really see much of him until the end. Keeps creating more evil vegitables to throw against the main characters. Played by: David Tennant
Slowly throughout the film learn that the biology student accidentally helped create the formula that turned the vegetables into mutants and only he knows how to reverse the process.
About an hour into the film, the comic relief character dies dramatically saving the chef's life then in the third act when all seems lost have the comic relief show up again but like with cyborg parts or something to save everyone.
I would watch that film.

Howdy folks!! The MEG 2 review here!
Spoilers Ahead! I'm about to say a bunch of stuff that can be determined from the trailer and by...you know movies, if you watch them enough, but still I'm warning you for spoilers.
Point 1 - No children (that we are introduced too) or dogs are harmed in this film.
Ok, onwards!
So for a joint American/Chinese production this movie has everything you would expect including:
1. Passable SFX
2. Joint heroism and ingenuity from both the American and Chinese protagonists
3. Technology referenced that doesn't exist yet
4. A good amount of language mingling
5. American villains but no Chinese villains cause that's how we roll.
6. A truly international cast
For this type of action/monster film we get everything we would expect including the following:
1. Ridiculous action sequences
2. Comically evil bad guys delivering comically evil lines about ocean exploitation
3. Two comic relief characters, one of which is now a badass
4. Very bad decisions, all around
5. Animals not acting like animals
6. Joyously oblivious people getting tragically (but in the funniest way possible) eaten
7. The main cast survives!
Bonus extras:
The opening sequence is hilarious!
Girls, women and black folk being badasses
One male character is just a babygirl. He goes with the menfolk to do action and just doesn't action...at all, it's great!
Jason Statham always looks pretty good
The new guy,Juiming is very quippy and capable so that's fun and not bad looking either.
A giant squid on megalodon fight, I think it was a little late but fun when it happened.
Silliness!! So much silliness, you will laugh, have fun with the jump scares and be like "oh no" throughout.
Critiques:
I had tooooo many kids in my theater 😝. These kids were young too, like under 10, I don't know what that was about.
This movie was about 1/2 hour too long. Not in a "I couldn't wait for it to end" kind of way. But the mainish villain should have died or been severely incapacitated at these 3 times since these people aren't superhuman. And the killing the sharks sequence definitely could have been trimmed.
As usual for this type of hybrid film (I don't think China wants to engage in these types of romances, right now) there are no romantic interests, which I appreciate, but very little was explained about what happened to the romantic interest from the last film.
Ok, so are you looking for something stupid to watch that provides air conditioning and eye candy watch the MEG2. You'll laugh at least!
Peace!!

I saw the first “Meg” in 2018. It wasn’t terrible but I’d wasn’t great either. In fact, the first line of my review was: “It’s not as bad as it’s 49% Score at Rotten Tomatoes suggestions.”
The sequel is called “The Meg 2”. I think it’s actually suppose to be “The Meg Squared” because the plot has exponentially more stupid character doing stupid thing.
Of course Jason Statham returns, along with a couple of characters from the first movie, including Page Kennedy. In the first film he played a marine biologist who didn’t know how to swim. In the sequel, his character has the single best idea of the entire script. He explains during the interval between the stories, he learned to swim and created an emergency tool kit, containing a gun and other items that would be useful during an emergency. Finally, a character too learns a thing and prepares!!!
The other returning character is played by Sophia Cai. She played an 8 year old girl earlier. Why do they need a child in the film? You know she will always disobey orders (like stowaway in the sub right before it’s chased by a giant shark). And the heroes will be distracted trying to save her (meanwhile a dozen or so other characters will die needless deaths). Believe me… Sophia’s character is very irritating; but it’s not her fault - I blame the lazy screen writers!
The script has many stupid people making stupid decisions - but Jason Statham isn’t one of them. No matter how preposterous the plot becomes, Statham plays it seriously and convincingly. If I’m ever trapped in a submarine with giant sharks and giant squid attacking, I want to be next to Statham (and I promise to follow all of his orders).
Two final notes: the CGI dinosaurs look descent, but the sharks look fake - especially their fins above water. They look like cheap plastic sails.
And once again, the movie ends with a little dog in danger. Gawd, I wish the dog had become chum for the sharks!
(As I write the the movie’s score Rotten Tomatoes is 22%. It’s more accurate than the first film. BUT if you like movies with Statham, or dinosaurs, or giant sharks, sure, go see this. But don’t say you weren’t warned of all the stupid people doing stupid things.)

'Meg 2: The Trench' Movie and 4K Review
The following review was written by Ultimate Rabbit correspondent, Tony Farinella. I haven’t seen 2018’s “The Meg”, but after watching the sequel, I don’t see myself seeking out the original. “The Meg 2: The Trench,” I thought, would be a fun little popcorn film to kick back and enjoy while I shut my brain off for 90 minutes or so. Instead, it is a film which is almost two-hours long and goes…

Meg 2: The Trench - an impressively stupid movie....
I quite enjoyed the first Meg movie. Sure, it did take itself a little more seriously then it needed to and it was plenty cheesy when it wasn't trying to be, but it was overall pretty fun and it knew to make a film titled 'The Meg' to be about the Meg. There were fairly long extended sequences dealing with both Megs. So I was looking forward to Meg 2, and the first trailer seemed to indicate that they knew what tone to hit. Unfortunately, the trailer turned out to be misleading as we instead got a pretty dumb movie which is barely about the monsters.
There are times when I genuinely wonder what writers were thinking when they conceptualize these movies. I mean, it doesn't take a genius to understand that people just want Jason Statham fighting giant sharks or any other monsters they can think of. It isn't that hard. But this film is filled with 2/3 corporate espionage/environment plot which didn't even make much sense, with some seriously annoying villains. Only in the last 1/3 does the movie embrace what the trailer was selling and we get our human heroes fighting the Megs and other monsters. Problem is that it becomes far too chaotic. There are 3 Megs which are difficult to distinguish from each other, human villains, a Kraken, and some Lizard monsters. So it becomes silly in an unintended way. The actual Megs are just kind of plot devices. They are there to cause some destruction and then they are kind of just around in the background as a threat. But they are never the focus. I also found it a little tasteless that the move kills off Suyin between movies. It was really not necessary. I get they want a child character and so they wanted to retain Meiying but they could have come up with another explanation for her not being there. It kind of ruins the romance that was present in the first film. We essentially get a replacement character in Wu Jing's Jiuming, with he and Statham's Taylor essentially co-parenting Meiying.
Additionally, while the first Meg movie was bright and sunny, Meg 2 spends a large part of the movie in darkness, either in an underwater station or in the darkness of the trench. The film only brightens up when the film literally reached a place called 'Fun Island'. Despite the chaos, admittedly, there is enough goofy fun to had in the last act. The cast is generally fine. Statham does his Statham thing as Jonas Taylor. Wu Jing, Cliff Curtis, Page Kennedy, and Shuya Sophia Cai are all likable. Page Kennedy gets in a couple of good laughs, especially relating to his experienced in the first film and the changes he has experienced since. The bond between Jonas and Meiying is sweet. The special effects are largely solid.
Overall, the first 2 acts kind of drag which is why the movie is overall a little disappointing. It shouldn't be that hard to make a movie like this, at least from a story point of view. I would give it a 4.5/10. Watchable largely for the fun l had in the last act.
