I don't. May they vegetate while i have what they're missing: fun. That thing looks like fun, and that's what it's all about for me in movies. If i want something with soul or real depth, i don't watch a fucking actionflick. It's like me saying everyone who drives around with less than 400hp in his car doesn't know what driving is and sucks in general. | ||

They explain why they don't just shoot all the kaijus, the kaiju blood is toxic to the environment and makes it uninhabitable. Excessive blunt force trauma is the preferred solution | ||

I believe the point of the robots is to subdue the monsters without killing them or spilling their blood everywhere as ranged weapon and projectiles would. Apparently the monsters blood is extremely toxic and near impossible to clean up, therefor blowing off limbs with weapons would be a disaster for the planet. | ||

For the sake of a "science" discussion, in what scenarios can you conceive of where guns/missiles/freakin' lasers are actually effective and putting them on a 100 foot tall bipedal robot is the best option? A humanoid robot is probably the least efficient method of deploying armaments. | ||

Don't know how del Toro can pull this off, but he will. They couldn't ask for a better man for the job. | ||

Yeah, this movie has huge robots and cool shit, AND is directed by someone who actually has talent. My problem was never with the "low plot, high visuals" type of movie. It was with the "low talent, low plot, high visuals" kind. | ||

Normally when I make fun of the Transformers movies, people say "dude its not supposed to have a plot, its supposed to have huge robots and cool shit". Yeah, this movie has huge robots and cool shit, AND is directed by someone who actually has talent. My problem was never with the "low plot, high visuals" type of movie. It was with the "low talent, low plot, high visuals" kind. Now, the problem with Transformers wasn't the plot. It's that the plots weren't related to the huge robots and cool shit, and took up all the screen time. I still hold that the 1st Transformers movie was one of the best adaptations of the franchise I've seen (granted, it's a very low bar), simply because the first half did a proper job of establishing the "Robots in Disguise" premise and the ludicrous nature of robots turning into cars, and the second half knew to get rid of all the bullshit and give you giant robots wailing on each other. I'll agree that 2nd and 3rd were complete steaming piles of shit, though. The one thing that can make Pacific Rim a total bust for me is if the trailers are showing you literally all of the action. I expect Guillermo Del Toro to have a clue, but it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if interpersonal issues and tacked on romance dominated 95% of the movie.

PL was brilliant partially because it was original... I already know PC will contain a scene with buildings being smashed, with things punching each other over and over, a romantic side-plot with a sexy chick, two dudes arguing about what direction they should go, and some bullshit speeches about saving humanity. Goddamn, even directing talent can't save something that is essentially a remake of every-single summer blockbuster produced in the last ten years. Plus from a marketing perspective Pacific Rim doesn't not have a solid established group of characters like most of the other blockbusters have (think Iron Man, WWZ (the book, Brad Pitt), the Lone Ranger).... Prediction=flop The man directed Blade II and Hellboy II (granted, that Hellboy was a fairly good movie). I think you highly overestimate him if you believe he's above doing a summer Blockbuster. | ||
