If not for the mecha did they eat it up for the kaiju?

Anyway what wouldn't Japanese nerds love about this movie? It's got mechs and it's got kaiju. What's not to love?

There was loli fanart on pixiv weeks before the movie even premiered in Japan.

It hasn't. It's matched its budget awhile ago. The likelihood of a sequel is high. Del Taco wants to go the NGE route and make another movie with jaeger/kaiju cyborgs.

That made if less boring silly goose. What tension is there in a film if you don't care about the characters? All the action sequences in the world can't make an audience care, but a simple flashback sequence, which expands a character's background, can.

"To fight Gods, we created Gods of our own"

My short review is that if you expect NGE-levels of plot you will be disappointed. Pacific Rim is mostly about giant Mecha beating up Giant Kaiju. This is synergized with plot that wouldn't stand up to its own but complements Kaiju-beating nicely.

Except they didn't make any of the characters interesting, and the development was worse than usual Hollywood crap. The action scenes, atmosphere, unique setting were good, but the main characters all came off as generic and uninteresting. I liked all of the overly eccentric characters because it was over the top to the point of being colorful and charming, but USA-kun was boring and when he didn't die it ruined the scene before where he said the line about falling being easy.

I'd rather focus on the merits or lack of within the movie itself, but I'll concede that some of the advertising people probably did that intentionally... I didn't see very many trailers for it because I tend to avoid them as far as television goes, I was more hyped by Del Toro working on it.

Well obviously they can't make the entire movie one big fight scene. My point wasn't really that they did try to develop them, it's that they were wasting their time in the way they went about it. Most of the characters ended up being boring cliches anyways. I just felt like in a movie like this, where everyone is going to see giant robots fight giant monsters, the characters aren't that important.

I thought the character development complemented the action nicely. It gave it weight where there otherwise wouldn't have been any.

Mako's problems, MC fighting differently after his brother's death, Aussie son and kid finally acknowledging their relationship--it all creates a depth to the action. We don't see any of it, but all that growth happens when they fight.

It had quite a few moments which afterward made me go "huh..." and made me appreciate it more. I honestly don't know how they could have done it any better. It has a lot of eyecandy and action, but isn't the mindless confusing mess that's Transformers. Subtext in a summer blockbuster, it's quite rare.

Plotholes the movie. What was the point of throwing monsters into the ocean? Why didn't they just use their sword from the beginning? Why not equip the jaegers with long range weapons since most of the kaiju could only attack close range? How did he get back through the dna portal with no kaiju dna? How come there is 0 military presence other than the kaiju? Couldn't big fucking bombs work on them since apparently punching and piledrivers in the ocean seem to work?

It's like the director was so excited about making his weeaboo movie that he forgot to make a tight plot.

Huh? The ocean is where they came from.

Gets kaiju blood everywhere. Kaiju blood is toxic.

>Why not equip the jaegers with long range weapons since most of the kaiju could only attack close range?

Why not just shoot missiles at the kaiju and forget the giant robots completely? Maybe because that would make for a shitty movie?

>How did he get back through the dna portal with no kaiju dna?

Apparently because the DNA is only needed to enter the anteverse, not leave it.

>How come there is 0 military presence other than the kaiju?

What?

>Couldn't big fucking bombs work on them since apparently punching and piledrivers in the ocean seem to work?

Before the jaegers were built the kaiju were nuked. That tended to kill a lot of civilians when you've got a kaiju in the middle of a city. And again, two hours of shooting missiles or dropping bombs on giant monsters would make for a shitty movie.

Now you tell me, why are you over-analyzing this lighthearted send up to cheesy old Japanese monster movies and giant robot anime?

Oh right, autism.

Wat? What kind of attack is to fucking suplex a monster into the ocean, which slows everything down from water resistance and basically makes the impact almost worthless.

>Gets kaiju blood everywhere. Kaiju blood is toxic.
Then why use it halfway through, and then just continue to use it? Seems to me like it's easier to clean up a bit of kaiju blood rather than them destroying a whole town. I mean look at the BP oil mess, that was taken care of, and that's a lot bigger than a bit of kaiju blood.

>Why not just shoot missiles at the kaiju and forget the giant robots completely? Maybe because that would make for a shitty movie?
They could at least explain it better as to why a punch works, but they can't just fire big missiles with fists on them from a safe distance.

>Apparently because the DNA is only needed to enter the anteverse, not leave it.
I think the word "traverse," or "pass through," or something along those lines were used. I thought of it as a metal detector.

>>How come there is 0 military presence other than the kaiju?
I meant jaegers. I had something else typed before. In every alien anime ever, they send out a bunch of planes to get blown the fuck up first before they use a giant robot.

Oh please.

Everyone knows that building a fucklot of missiles would be the most reasonable way to defeat giant space amphibians. There is no reasonable explanation as to why giant robots would be worth the effort, apart from being cool.

There were fighter jets and tanks shooting at the first kaiju. And in Mako's flashback, the black guy's jaeger (coyote tango or something) was being supported by fighter jets.

Not that guy but the first kaiju have jets dodging around it.
Fighter jets, with long range missiles that doesn't need visual contact to lock on, dodging around big lumbering monster. That's the first sign for brain shutdown for the rest of the movie.

>What tension is there in a film if you don't care about the characters? All the action sequences in the world can't make an audience care, but a simple flashback sequence, which expands a character's background, can.

"Can" is the operative word here, though. It is just as easy to pile on all the flashbacks and expository dialog you can think of, and still wind up with characters you don't give two shits about.
