Go Ellen!
Hope the film has more going for it. Not holding my breath. I love Pan's Labyrinth. Also, for the millionth time this...
Can you say... brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
You got a thing for little kids or something?Originally Posted by Space Indaver
That's because you don't know what the movie is about. You are comparing it to shit like Battleship and Michael Bay's robot wrestling. This movie is Del Toro's love letter to mech culture, the robots are meant to be generic, in a way. These designs are inspired from popular mech anime, it's the same with the plot. If you go in the theater expecting a deep plot full of symbolism of course you're going to be disappointed.

A) I didn't even notice little kids in the trailer
B) I don't know you, so I think "LOL you're a paedophile" jokes might be crossing a line
C) It wasn't even funny
And as far storyline and shit: it's giant robots fighting monsters. I'd prefer if the people didn't even talk.
Well you made that comment right after someone posted the Dora the Explorer video.
I'm sorry about that, I do feel I crossed the line there.B) I don't know you, so I think "LOL you're a paedophile" jokes might be crossing a line

On the one hand, Pan's Labyrinth, Idris Elba without a fakey American accent and kaiju.
On the other hand, Hellboy 2, Hellboy 2 and Hellboy 2.
On the one hand, I won't be able to not think of GlaDOS.
On the other hand, it looks so ridiculous, so stupid and so pointless that I can't help but think "...man, I'm going to see the crap out of this!"
I need this.
Why does people insist on acting like stupid mindless fun is bad?
See? JG's got the right idea.
Why do people insist on acting like stupid mindless fun can only equate to uninspiring, unoriginal, cliched, macho crap?
Not that this means that Pacific Rim will be any of those, but you can forgive a few of us for having that impression after all the orange and teal action films of late. I think the trailer alludes to the film having some vague social critique. All I know is, elbow rockets. Fucking. Elbow. Rockets.
Indeed, the perfect movie for a movie night with a bunch of buddies.( at home, not at the cinema.)
It also looks like a sly way to present the concept of Power Rangers in year 2013. ;p

Actually, I find this is the kind of movie I'd rather see at the cinema, the huge scale and great sound makes any action scene way more enjoyable.
This movie is gonna be stupid crap, but people will love it anyway.
But where did he come from, this fleck of spite in an abandoned paradise?
So basically this is "Neon Genesis Evangelion",american style :| Del Toro is highly overrated anyway,so i was not surprised by weak cgi,bad monster/robot design,bad acting etc.
... I take the lives of a few to protect the lives of many. I commit acts of war to preserve the greater peace. I take no joy in killing, but make no mistake; I'll do what needs to be done. Because it's my job. It's my duty. My name is Sam Fisher, and I am a Splinter Cell.
Get out! NOW!
On a more serious note, sure it could be taken as a NGE american style, but why would that be a bad thing? It would remove all the stupid aspects like people becoming computers, clones and questionably ethical relationships but keep all the good things. Giant fighty robots.
Totally forgot he is behind Hellboy movies!!! I really liked them allot,,so there's hope for this movie :D

It kind of IS NGE. Originally Del Toro was going to make an NGE movie and when it fell through this came from it.
Honestly, it looks like it's going to be an almost parody of monster movies. If anyone could pull this off with a triple A budget, it would have to be Del Toro.
Only Americans can't really do giant fighty robots well. Well that and you pretty much Americanised it by removing the whole story, and thus leaving the only story possible being a terrible weak one; like most American action films.
Anyway, I'll still watch as I like just not having to concentrate and watching explosions.

Indeed. British action movies = Jason Statham as Jason Statham in the Jason Statham movie Part 12.
Also, Del Toro isn't american.
