I really liked the first one. Kind of surprised at the dislike. Much better treatment of the whole mecha/robot thing than what we usually get in America.

But maybe people dislike the genre.
Me too. Then again, I had zero expectation going in beyond awesome special effects sequences of giant robots fighting giant monsters. They could have removed all the filler/story in-between and I wouldn't have cared. My inner 12 year old came for the fight scenes and left a happy camper! [Reply]
Thought the first was pretty stupid, to be honest.
The best thing about Pacific Rim was actually when I was watching the new Godzilla with my kids. When they were talking about how to handle Godzill and the, errr, Mutas or whatever they are called, my youngest son leaned over and said "I know ---- build giant robots!"
I thought that was pretty damn good for a 10 year old. [Reply]
