It's like the Americanized or Whitepeoplized version  As for whether it's going to be good or not, we shall see. I'm skeptical by nature though - I thought Inception was going to suck. :x | ||

Del toro is very good, and just having his name attached to this project bodes well. Remember Hellboy movies? Pan's Labyrinth? I think he was attached to direct Hobbit too at one point. | ||

It doesn't matter how good it was or how much it disgraced the characters because it's not like people who like the series will acknowledge it anyway - like Star Wars. | ||

Don't get me wrong, super excited about giant robots vs giant alien monsters in 3D, but I don't get any of the references in this thread. | ||

At least it has Guillermo del Toro and pretty explosions. Although as expected for this genre, many of the explosions make no sense whatsoever, like the fighter jet blowing up at 0:41. huh? the monster takes a swipe at the jet | ||

the lack of proper intimidation and 'sleek' design - also the rocket punch is facepalm worthy, plz hollywood, go watch the King of Braves, GaoGaiGar. Let me explain it in a way that will express my facepalm, cuz its important to me. EVAs (short for, synthetic fighting humanoid evangelion, the topic of much mention of late), for example, has a freaky face. once the armour is removed it is simply a greyish blob with two eyes and flesh underneath. This giant robot here, simply looks like a bigger version of master chief, as usual (master chief, of course is based on a grunt robot from the Mobile Suit Gundam series). I can care less if it has flesh underneath, it is too american (which means its design is epic fail in a legit giant robot stand point) Now i do believe the reason why people think this is like EVA is simply because of the motion commands the 'pilots' or 'drivers' have to use. Hence everything i said about looks is pointless and people are just going to TL:DR this. BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO ME. What is more important to me is that Evangelion was NOT the only show to have motion commands. As a matter of fact, EVANGELION PILOTS DO NOT CONTROL THE GIANT ROBOTS BY MOTION! EVA pilots control the giant flesh bots by thought and finger commands are shown to be done with joy sticks. Also, EVA explained in their show; with visual demonstration, that the giant flesh bots are relatively entirely needed, by dropping a nuke and still not being able to destroy a giant monster. Angels from Evangelion also look more pokemon than Godzilla. HENCE! This giant robot movie, for me, reminds me the hell of WARHAMMER 40K instead of EVA. now those who thinks this looks like EVA, explain yourselves. edit: Jets don't fly under giant monster wings to be swiped at. Fighter jets barely even shoot these days, they take orders from the mushroom plane nearby and fire missiles. Jet fighters are designed for support, not for direct confrontation. | ||
