Pacific Rim was a rather overrated and boring movie
Just rewatched this again recently, I can't recall why I liked it so much the first time I saw it. The movie and its main characters is just...dull? Some of the monster fights are nice to watch of course, but everything surrounding it is just bland. I did like the karate/fighting scenes between the white dude and the Asian girl, but not much else to say.
Rather overrated movie, but if you liked it, more power to you. That is all. |

I walked out on it in the cinemas because it was that boring. I watched it again when it hit dvd to see what I missed not much at all.

It was a total POS. A friend was part of the crew, so I couldn't walk out.
Del Toro is overrated. |

I love this movie, not as much hope for the sequel though.
Del Toro is awesome. |

I found my enjoyment of the movie was heavily influenced by environment.
Because accidental doublebooking, I saw the film twice opening weekend. Once at a Deluxe Theater with my boyfriend. The kind of place with the reclining squashy leather chairs, and where after a certain time of day children under 13 are not allowed in. I found I wasn't really impressed with the movie. It had some gorgeous visuals, not the least of which were the actors. (Elba in a military universe. Good Glod....) The next day I went and saw it with my best friend. She'd requested we go and see it because it was her birthday. So we went to the local theater, where there were twice to three times as many people in small not squashy leather seats. I figured if nothing else, at least I'd get to see the pretty people in the even prettier light. Only, I loved the movie then. There's something about getting caught up in the moment with other people so close at hand that really changes the whole reception of a movie. Everyone gasped at the same time. We cheered at the same time. It was great. As with all things, your mileage will vary.

I loved watching the Hellboy actor look like a pimp gangster Will Ferrell. Everything else was "eh."
My buddy and his wife loved it; I tolerated it for their sake.

I don't get the rave reviews for the movie. That's the only reason I saw it. What even was the plot?

I just don't get all the critical acclaim for the movie. Is Pacific Rim 2 coming or not?

It was okay. As with most films of this nature, I liked the Giant Thing Fights Other Giant Thing parts a lot, & found the human drama stuff an annoying waste of time.

It was good, the middle movie fight was a blast. The kaijus in the end weren't anything special, but the other dimension stuff had somewhat lovecraftian feeling to it, which I loved.

Probably. Don't most sea creatures have nostrils?

I thought it was OK - the 'Australian' accents were really grating though. So much so that I found it hard to take it seriously.
