But the salesmen from Lockheed Martin swore up and down that this was a suitable replacement for the A10. I know, it looks a little rough around the edges, but early days, man. Early days.

They thought of everything. Bravo!

That movie would have been so much better if they went with the story of the opening montage instead of the joyless tone and screenwriting 101 junk that was the rest.

Hooker - 2015-05-02 Aside from the scientists, the casting of Pacific Rim was horrendous. But it was still an amazing kaiju movie and I have to assume that people who didn't like it just don't actually like kaiju movies. Maybe they like the idea of kaiju movies in the same way I like the idea of old, foreign language films but also similarly find the act of actually watching them tedious and repellent. It's fine. You don't have to like them. I watched them when I was a child and they captured my imagination in a big way, and aside from the 90s Gamera trilogy and Godzilla: GMK, no kaiju movies in my lifetime have captured the sense of wonder, scale, and simplicity of the genre like Pacific Rim.

Mr. Purple Cat Esq. - 2015-05-02 What I think pacific rim got right was the sense of danger. Main characters and Jaegers fail and get picked off regularly (even the 1st fight shown) A palpable threat and real sense of tension was well established.

Gmork - 2015-05-02 Evangelion? Nothing happens?
I'm pretty sure you've only seen episodes and not the reboots or the combined movies. The show didnt have enough budget, all the best stuff is happening AFTER the actual series came out.

EvilHomer - 2015-05-02 Gmork hates Pacific Rim, too. I am noticing a pattern here.

infinite zest - 2015-05-02 I mean, things happen in Eva, but it wasn't the mecha action I thought it would be, especially when I was 14. A few years later I got a vcd with every episode and it's my favorite, but not then. Compare PR to another Kaiju movie with Heisenberg in it. He's great in it but it's like an hour with just Heisenberg talking and no kaiju

I like the big floppy sword.

Oscar Wildcat - 2015-05-02 The whole "looking very dramatic and dangerous, then folding like a cheap suit as soon as it takes action" thing is very appealling on a number of different levels.
