Blue Star posted:Pacific Rim was good but I had a couple problems with it. First, i thought it was kind of boring how all of the kaiju had the same origin. They were all just monsters created by the same aliens for the same purpose. I like it better in the Godzilla movies where you have a bunch of different monsters that all came from different places and have different goals and personalities. Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, King Ghidora, and so on. Second problem was that the main protagonist was kind of boring. You get that most Godzilla movies have him only fighting one monster, right?

So "this 60 year old movie franchise with dozens of installments has more monsters than this one single movie" is a weird critique, imo

You dont have to go all "Um, actually" on me.

I'm just glad the koreans moved into the massage parlor down the street so now I don't have to go all the way to hawaii to give someone a pacific rim.

Pacific Rim had too much human time. I strongly agree that the protagonist was utter trash who I wanted to die because his death would have been the most interesting thing about him. The mecha designs felt rather forced as they followed the American wrestling angle which meant they had a bunch of intentionally badly designed gimmicks for weapons.

When they finally whip out the blade in pac rim it was like ok you could have just knifed them to death right off the bat instead of spending 20 minutes punching them ineffectively?!? It's still goofy fun but sons of anarchy guy and his waifu were terrible.

Its occured to me recently that the reason Prometheus failed and Blade Runner 2600 will as well is Ridley Scott's great world building. He's a lovely director but he's was smart enough in his youth to know that just telling a story about the world itself isn't enough for a film. Now you have these lazy hack frauds come in and they go for the easy temptation which is to tell a larger story about the world of the film franchise rather than trying to craft a smaller story that is part of it so you get this really cheese hackneyed god/creator poo poo.

Ridley Scott is the biggest fraud of them all then, because it's him who wants to expand the worlds instead of telling a smaller story the most.

Probably true now, but when he was younger he had the common sense and self restraint to realize it makes films laughable when you go that route.

The movie's stated reason is because the kaijus bleed radioactive death but the real reason is because the megazord doesn't pull out the power sword until it's time to kill the monster

a bone to pick posted:all of this just so Vader could deliver one of the cheesiest lines in Star Wars history. I think there was a SW comic from about 18 years ago where Vader is weighing his preference between an Imperial Officer and some random person on a planet. After explaining all the things the random person did to help Vader, he says to the Officer, "What have you done for me, lately?" To me, that always struck me as a cheezy sort of line from Vader.

pacific rim is the only movie i've seen just flat out refuse to be fun and cool. all the cool gimmick robots die immediately so we have to look at vanilla-bot in every fight, they cast the single dullest white cardboard cutout for the main guy even though they had idris elba right there, the final fight is god damned under water and the protagonist doesn't even have the courtesy to stay dead in the end.

I'm going to take the middle ground and say while it wasn't great, it was still pretty good and I don't regret watching it unlike some movies that came out this decade.
