Wu Jing takes on Yu Cheng-Hui in the 2002 Chinese drama, Shaolin King of Martial Arts.
And yes, the Shaolin monk in this clip (Wu Jing) is the same guy from the upcoming, The Meg 2: The Trench.

Uncle Jiuming is very charming, and it's more-or-less fun, but for a film with three 'rex-devouring megasharks, a genuine kraken, and a death count in the dozens, this film holds absolutely no tension at all - and a movie that doesn't even bother to ask for investment inevitably comes across as boring, even if Jason Statham uses a shark as a jetski ramp to do a barrel-roll while throwing an explosive javelin at another shark.

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!!

SEND HELP?? -Karma getting satisfyingly served -The dog lives I WAS EXTREMELY STRESSED -"You miss your Ma?" SOBBING -Man and Shark connections that have no relations to dolphins at all -Wu Jing is so hot and the fun protective uncle send help this is my weakness
In other words this is a modern day cheesy shark movie that owns it and is now one of my favourite movies of all time. Period.
If you're having a bad day, if you need a laugh and to roll your eyes, please watch this movie. You won't regret it.

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.

Meg 2: The Trench (2023) Review
Tumblr media
Yep, they made a second one.
Plot: Jonas Taylor leads a research team on an exploratory dive into the deepest depths of the ocean. Their voyage spirals into chaos when a malevolent mining operation threatens their mission and forces them into a high-stakes battle for survival. Pitted against colossal, prehistoric sharks and relentless environmental plunderers, they must outrun, outsmart and outswim their merciless predators.
I was not a big fan of the first Meg movie. It did the typical Hollywood monster movie cliche of focusing too much on the human characters that nobody cared about, and too little on the big shark munching on people. Look, no one is expecting an Oscar-worthy motion picture here. We just want a fun silly summer blockbuster that features bonified action star Jason Statham battling a massive shark and somehow having an actual fighting chance due to nonsensical physics and because Statham is a badass who could fight a minotaur if he had to. With The Meg 2, though I didn't have high hopes, I was still interested as this one is directed by Ben Wheatley who has managed to build quite a strong little filmography in the British indie market, from the highly entertaining warehouse shooter Free Fire to the hallucinogenic A Field In England to challenging the status quo of the class system in High-Rise. As a director, Wheatley evidently enjoys sequestering violent, shortsighted characters in cloistered environments and watching how they claw at each other's throats. So even though at first I scratched my head at Wheatley tackling The Meg sequel, I soon realised that it made perfect sense. A bunch of characters that are ready to be chomped and eaten by a massive shark? Wait, may Ben Wheatley be the answer to that simple request we as movie fans are asking - Statham VS Shark?
Having seen The Meg 2: The Trench I am happy to confirm that it is a better film than its predecessor. However, it is not a good movie. More so the first 2/3 of the movie is a generic underwater survival movie that very much exists to fill up the runtime, but it is frustrating as there are hardly any megalodons in this first 2/3 of the movie. I mean they are there, but they mostly just do a lot of swimming and staring. Lots and lots of swimming, and lots and lots of staring. However coming to the last third of The Meg 2 and it becomes this entirely different beast that is this crazy mad load of bonkers featuring prehistoric sea creatures attacking this beach island, and it is silly, ludicrous and ridiculous and is exactly what I wanted. Heck, there's even a Kraken in this movie! A fricking Kraken!! And most importantly, we get Statham VS Sharks (plural)!! That last 40 or so minutes are super entertaining, and even all the cast become more lively and enjoyable to watch as they run about doing various survival shenanigans. If only that final third was actually the entire movie. All the stuff in the beginning is so unnecessary and in fact, the set-up for all the beach stuff could have been summed up in 5 minutes.
Jason Statham very much is here to cash in a paycheck, but dammit does this man have that badass charm and charisma that he easily carries the cast of this movie alongside Wu Jing, who in a way is the other main character that is there to target the Chinese audience market. Both Statham and Jing and fun to watch, and they both have plenty of opportunities to kick butt. There was also this guy called DJ (played by Page Kennedy) and he was actually hilarious. His one-liners were funny and the ongoing gag with his little survival backpack was actually really entertaining. Again though, this DJ character is in the movie from the start, but he doesn't really show off his true colours until later in the movie when all the boring trench stuff is done with.
Overall I enjoyed The Meg 2 more than I expected, but that enjoyment primarily came from the last part of the movie, where the movie finally embraces what it was selling to us in the trailers. Also, this now makes me wonder with all the massive sea monsters at the end of this movie, are we leading up to the inevitable crossovers of Megalodon VS Godzilla VS Kong? Look, all of those are owned by Warner Bros, so it's surely only a matter of time. As for The Meg 2: The Trench, it's a forgettable yet partially enjoyable summer blockbuster, yet the one thing I won't forget is Jason Statham muttering in his grizzly voice "it's a deviated septum".
Overall score: 5/10
