Cool. I think.
|
A Second chance to make a first good movie. :thumb:
|
first one was a boo for me
|
Don't know why people thought the first was so good.
|
Too me it was just Power Rangers for grownups. nothing great about it at all.
|
I really liked the first one. Kind of surprised at the dislike. Much better treatment of the whole mecha/robot thing than what we usually get in America.
But maybe people dislike the genre. |

The first one was fantastic to me. Hopefully this is just as good.
|
I was disappointed by the first one. Hopefully this one hits the mark.
|
The monster designs in the first were too bland for me. Need to add a little punch to them in the next movie.
That and find a way to bring Ron Pearlman's character back to life. |

Ron Pearlman's character lives. Watch after the first couple of minutes of credits.
I thought Pacific Rim was pretty fun, and as far as giant robot movies go, I liked it better than the Transformer shit. |

Thought the first was pretty stupid, to be honest.
The best thing about Pacific Rim was actually when I was watching the new Godzilla with my kids. When they were talking about how to handle Godzill and the, errr, Mutas or whatever they are called, my youngest son leaned over and said "I know ---- build giant robots!" I thought that was pretty damn good for a 10 year old. |
The first one was good from an action standpoint. once you start looking at the story though, it suffers drastically. if you were going into looking for transformers vs godzilla, it was pretty good though. i thought it was just a fun movie, and if you weren't looking for too deep of a film, it was extremely enjoyable.

Hunnam was about as wooden as it gets for a lead.

Not the point. If he's fine with the genre, there must be something in the genre better. Right?

Saying that doesn't mean I hate kaiju movies, it just means I had some issues with this one. Things that I thought should have been done better, with both the technology and the quality of the talent involved, both in front of and behind the camera. YMMV and I'm completely fine with you not having the same qualms with the movie that I did. I'm not trying to convince you or anybody else of anything, just explaining why I didn't quite love it. It just wasn't quite the movie I hoped it was going to be, with all the folks involved. I was disappointed. Didn't hate it. Not saying it was bad. Just that I hope #2 is a bit... more. |

I don't know about the talent behind the camera, but in front of it? Yeah, wasn't expecting any Oscar performances here. I think the main point for many of the fans of the movie is that this genre has never been about plots, or story arcs, or character development. It's been about massive creatures/robots fighting each other. That's it. The rest is just filler in-between what the real movie is about. Like porn, that filler is intended to get you to the action as quickly as possible. This genre is not Sex in the City. It's Debbie Does Dallas. |

OK, so just to be clear. It is OK to be a fan of a genre, even if you dislike everything within that genre?

I enjoyed the first one. Thought it was fun and loved the aesthetic. I understand all the critiques too, but in the end, I had fun watching it, and that's all I really wanted out of that movie.

The following is my opinion:
The characters sucked, the story made no sense, and I was not impressed with the overall look of the film. The FX were great. The monsters and mechs looked great. The framing around the action was terrible and distracted from what could have been a much better movie. JMO of course. Not really too concerned with a sequel unless they it's with a whole new cast of characters that might be interesting. |

I thought the 1st one was the ultimate popcorn movie done right...
|
I thought it was good and fun. Not a great film, but fun. I think it pretty much fit into Del Toro's style. Hes a quirky and unique film maker. He doesnt really make huge audience pleasers like a Michael Bay. His movies are shot dark and murky.

I agree, if you said you hated the movie for what it was, you need to provide a better movie. |

Award winning acting and character driven story arcs were never a part of this genre. If you bitch about the absurdity of an Evil Dead movie and someone suggests Bruce Campbell movies might not be for you, a response along the lines of "I'm fine with the genre. Army of Darkness just wasn't very good" just doesn't make sense. What "wasn't very good" to you is present in every other film of the genre, including the new Godzilla movie everybody has the same complaints about. We've already lost the vampire et al genre to tweens and Danielle Steele. Please don't try turning giant robot / monster fighting movies into some sort of Days of Our Lives drama. More Robots, Less Crying More Monsters, Less Romance More Fighting, Less Drama :D |
I'd like to see a prequel to Mama: "Stepmama"
Eh? Ehhhhhhhhhh? |

What genre are you talking about? Monster movies? If so Cloverfield is easily better. The new Godzilla is miles better.

Pacific rim is basically a toned down Michael Bay movie...except with shittier action scenes.

It wasn't just a monster movie... it was influenced by old Japanese anime cartoons too, among other things.
But I really enjoyed the first movie. It's probably one of my favorite movie theater experiences ever. I loved Godzilla too... I don't think you can evenly compare the two, they were aiming for two completely different things. In fact I'm pretty sure Del Toro said at one point they did not want it to be an ode to Godzilla, or at least those old monster movies. It was obviously far more influenced by the old Japanese anime mecha cartoons. |

Not to mention annoying actors and a storyline so terrible and full of holes it's made for MST3000... |
This movie sucked but the MegaZord Kaiju was ****ing awesome. Best design yet.

I knew to turn my brain off and enjoy Voltron vs. Godzilla but it wasn't working. Not any Godzilla and too much building up bullshit on how Voltron works and why we can't use it and bla bla. I'm out. My mind is already on the Monster-verse Legendary is setting up now. Hopefully they don't shit the bed like DC/WB did (but they are rushing in exactly like Justice League.) :shake: |
