Now we got kids toys shooting up everything.
Just Great.

Pacific Rim

And even great movies suffer from major plotholes - but sometimes you have to overlook it (if they flew the Eagles from the start in Lord of the Rings, then we’d have no movie - or book - right?).
Granted this is an explainable failing, however the example makes your point.

Why mankind had to invent robots with swords, instead of an “armor piercing” plasma missile. is beyond me.
Or 8739478939759389398569385 tons of water curing concrete ontop of “the breach”.
Or eagles to Mordor…

Well, there would be no robot fight. :roll:
Humans are so dramatic.

Acting? Pacific toilet bowl rim.
And no jugs. :S

@Imperious:
Godzilla was way better
Cloverfield was better
Rodan better
War of the Gargantuas better
Even Godzilla vs the Smog Monster betterThey are all classic and had some acting and a plot. Godzilla music kicks ass. Some of the best music for any movie
Godzilla movies had plots!?! I’ve watched every Godzilla movie made between 1954 to 1995 and I wouldn’t say plot was their strong points. I mean like 4 or 5 of the movies plots are the same and boil down to “aliens are using another monster to try to take over the world” (Godzilla v. Monster Zero, Godzilla v. Mecha-Godzilla, Terror of Mecha-Godzilla, Godzilla v. King Ghidorah). The movies had good subtext (like Godzilla v Hedorah environmentalism, and the constant running theme of antinuclear proliferation) but I wouldn’t say plot was what made those movies.

They had plots and good acting ( for the most part) plus awesome music.
They are all classics.
Pacific Rim will not be a classic, soon to be forgotten. IN 20 years time Godzilla movies will still be played and Pacific Rim not.

The Godzilla movies had plots, but not good ones, and the acting was sub-par at best (unless you watched the original Japanese releases, but in the American edited and dubbing releases the acting comes across as dry at best). I feel like watching a Godzilla movie and focusing on the acting and plot is like watching a porno for the story and sound track, it’s there but not really what the movies is about (and is not the strength of the movies at all). When I was a kid I watched the movies for 3 main reasons; 1. To watch guys in giant monster suits beat the crap out of each other 2. To watch amazing sets of perfectly crafted miniature towns and city’s get destroyed by the guys in the aforementioned giant suits and 3. To watch the goofy attempt at translating and accurately dubbing the lines from Japanese into English. It’s all part of what made the experience of watching the movies great, but they aren’t great movies. They’re goofy campy popcorn fun movies, but there not to be taken serious or held to some high level, which if did try to do that would detract from the movies over all.

My son said he wants to see it, so I’ll give it another go. I felt after watching it the first time, there was a lot that I liked, but I felt the movie hurt due to pacing the most. There was a lot being crammed in to a fairly long movie - and it could have done more with more time. That’s not going to hold attention very well, though.
Overall, worth a viewing - not exactly what I wanted it to be. 6.5/10 on a bad day, 7 or 7.5/10 on a good day.
