the first one was awesome. the new one is awaw*vomits a little*awful.
FernandoRumdebum
I *really* wish they didn't make the sequel. It was perfect on its own.
personthatusesimgur
TIL some people liked Pacific Rim a bit more than I did!

This is the type of dump I can get behind.

Why would the guy know if the girl was pregnant before she knew, even if they were linked?
DontTazeMeBrah
I did until Guillermo del Toro didn't come back for the 2nd and they got some hack to replace him
KaineZilla
Yo I never thought about people using Drift for prosthetics. Because all Drift really is is a neural interface.
SmellOfMonkey
One of the things that irks me is the speed the pilots walk compared to the robot. Their movements are supposed to transfer so at those >
SmellOfMonkey
speeds the robots should be speed walking.
samtherat6
You don't stab or blast them until you absolutely need to because Kaiju blood is extremely toxic to the environment.
JarlBalgruufTheBallin
One of my all time favorite movie scenes is when gypsy rose up and all your hear is the fog horn.
Alkyone
We like pacific rim now? I wasn't aware. Completely forgot about the franchise (is it even a franchise?).
TheFastpaws
It was until they refused to give Del Toro what he wanted. Now it is a canceled flaming hot pile of shit.
assahola
Underrated dump.
ThatOneArachnidKeeper
@OP This is exactly what I needed today. More mecha aw yis.
justanotachi
Thank you! more mecha coming soon then :)
ThatOneArachnidKeeper
Always great to hear. Tag me when you post such if you wouldn't mind. :)

Where Kaiju come from? Where Kaiju go? Where did you come from, Cotton-eye Joe?

Uprising sucked soooooo hard. Such a waste. Hope the third installment is better.
KaineZilla
Uprising has flopped even in China. It's not getting a third.
NightDany
Shit, that's a waste of a cool concept... At least we got the first one!
LincLoud
The sequel didn't grab my attention the way the original did.

Entered the thread for this; not disappointed

A problem that can be solved by robots is the kind of problem I like
NoGoodNick
Is Clifford (the Big Red Dog) a kaiju?
GirlInTheGreenDress
Hahahahaha!
xochiluvr
Where do they come from? Where do they go? Where do they come from, Kotton AI JU?
Harm
Absolutely underrated comment.
ThrobbinHoodz
No no. A specific rim
Isometimesupvotereposts
As in not the second one?
Mobbe
Could you be more pacific?
wherearemytesticles
Sky's rim belongs to the Nords!
SoPoSassquatch
Turkishtime04
Yes, that rim.
ThrobbinHoodz
Aye close
Mokelzwerg
So you‘re saying Pacific Rim is Neon Genesis Evangelion?
Nightelfbane
No. Pacific Rim is good.
Mokelzwerg
No. It’s not.
SBRover3
Yes, but with less depression.
TastyBrainMeats
NGE was the Dark Knight Returns of "teenager pilots giant robot" shows.
Alphariusmaybe
A more silly version of robot jox. A film that can't decide if its Saturday morning crap or an exploration of human propensity for violence
Mokelzwerg
Thank Yalu
Mokelzwerg
I meant Thank you. But let’s also thank Yalu. Why not
GuyFromDeathValley
I watched Pacific Rim AFTER NGE. Funny how many parallels in the story and characters there are, honestly.
DefenderOfDog
ConfuMeister
The Kaijus were spilling toxic blood that'd contaminate water and soil. So blowing up isn't an option.
DenverCoderIX
FallingStar7669
Even our cars are just tiny, contained explosions. Run out of bread and milk? Blow some shit up.
GuyFromDeathValley
to be fair, in the movie they said they already tried to nuke the breach. so.. yeah, they nuked it first.
NoDaveHere
How was the sequel? I really liked the first one, but the trailers for 2 looked really bad
Brael
It was really bad.
Lisossoma
I liked it better than I was hoping. Less jokes but still cool monster robot fights
Qualtagh
They just forgot to ever stop the exposition. Finn started talking about aliens at the start and no one told the actors "okay, we got it"
CygnustheBananaSwan
Hated it, couldn’t stand the majority of the characters.
Grievous954
If I had to describe it i'd go with Forgettable.
BarretXIII
terrible. Cringy. "All our available pilots are conveniently dead or injured, so let's use our handful of plucky cadets to save the world!"
mendrak
This, exactly. It's as horrible as it sounds.
mendrak
Loved the original, sequel was utter garbage.
Plaaant
It sucked. Hard.
APackOfExcitedGingers
(apparently unpopular opinion) I liked it. Had more action and Jaegers didnt insta-die like in the first one. The young pilots were annoying
TheFastpaws
If you like punching yourself in the face while listening to bad rap music. Then this is the movie for you!
manchudreamer
It was alright, the tone is different, and the combat is faster. That could be a plus or minus depending what you thought of the original
TastyBrainMeats
Faster I can deal with. Does it still feel like everything hits really fuckin' hard?
Plaaant
No. No it doesn’t. The Jeagers are animated with no weight or physical presence. It looked and felt like a Micheal Bay Transformers movie.
TastyBrainMeats
Ugh. That's a crying shame.
Plaaant
Tell me about it. I avoided all spoilers and went to see it on opening day, ready and eager. Could give you a rundown on all the worst shit.
Plaaant
The sequel was such a disappointment. Had none of the writing or attention to detail that made the original great and SO MUCH RETCONNING
FungusForge
The way the trailer looked was setting up so many red flags for me.
Plaaant
I avoided most trailers like an absolute fool
Tinman2022
And then they had to go and underwhelm with Pacific Rim: Uprising. Ah well.
baronnapalm
Right? I found nothing especially terrible and nothing especially good about it. Excluding boyega who's characters jokes were pretty decent
Tinman2022
Yeah, he's a good actor. So he can carry bad lines as far as possible. But he can't hold up an entire bad movie on his own, yanno?
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
The best part was that robot with the two swords and that's like 5 minutes worth
Nightelfbane
Hey. That one was good
Senguie
I really enjoyed it, dunno why you get downvoted. Altough it felt like the start of a trilogy.
NightDany
Barely... Didn't had the first one's world building or that sense of emergency. Also it felt like they wanted to sell you toys
surprisemotherfuckers
It felt like they jammed a half season of a tv show into a movie but poorly. Why are there kid jaeger pilots when they had tons of adult 1/?
surprisemotherfuckers
pilots in the last movie? Why build more jaegers after the threat is over when they were already being shut down during the last movie? 2/?
surprisemotherfuckers
Why is someone's brain in a jar being used for training people? This movie felt rushed and incomprehensible at times 3/3
LiquidPoo
The jaegers were so boring and lack luster in that one.
Tinman2022
They tried fanservicing too much. "You liked the Russian couple in the first one? HERE'S A RUSSIAN COUPLE LOOK AT THEM"
Tinman2022
Also, I know that the whole thing derives heavily from Anime tropes, and I'm fine with that. But did it seem even MORE cliche-y this time?
BarretXIII
way more. "all available pilots are conveniently killed or injured before the climax! Let the plucky young cadets take over! YAY!"
BarretXIII
"Oh shit! This new big ass kaiju almost took out several jaeger in one attack!... LEEEROOOOOOOOOY MMJENKIINNNSSSS!"
TheFastpaws
It was all the worst parts of giant robot animes tossed into live action. God did we need Toro at the helm again. Flaming hot garbage.
Tinman2022
"Oh no! The ENTIRE FLEET has been destroyed. Can we repair all of these GIANT ROBOTS in time?" "Well, this one teenager can." "Yaaaaaay!"
TorpedoSkyline
I’m hoping the next one isn’t terrible
TastyBrainMeats
Give it back to Del Toro!
YouCantUnsuckADick
I haven't watched it yet and was avoiding it entirely due to Del Toro not being involved.
Tinman2022
Its really not worth your time. The acting is phoned in (regardless of the merit of the actors), the pacing is all off. Its just awful.
Akubarix
That and the horrible music used to advertise it. Listen to the musical scores Toro used and then uprising's. It's a fucking joke.
TheFastpaws
Everything that grounded it was remove even the heft of the giant robots making them feel real. It just isn't worth your time.
BarretXIII
yup. I saw it on a discount, and I want my fucking money back!
Tinman2022
I agree. It had so much potential. All of it was just so forced and cliche'd. I get that the concept is dopey, but come on.
Dualpsiioniic
Damn that makes me angry, I was so hyped coming out of the cinema after watching the first one and being like "whens the sequel?"
