Who's pumped for Pacific Rim?

[Grumpy RPG Reviews]

I saw the movie because people I trust enjoyed it. I thought it was OK, but it was somewhat spoilt by a weak ending.

I agree with your comments but I suspect the things you describe are simply too much a part of this particular genre, to say nothing of the slightly childish (in the best sense) tone of the work.

Look at the date.


Here's a funny parody script that does good commentary on the various iffy bits of the plot:

ROFLMAO at "I should point out that choosing to watch this movie means implicitly signing on to the whole "giant robots fight giant monsters" premise, so I don't wanna hear any Neil Degrasse Tysons out there complaining about square-cube laws or height-mass ratios or anything. That is OUT OF BOUNDS."

Really. That'd be like sitting down to watch "Sharktopus" and not being on board for "mix of shark and octopus".

Sure: it was his sled.

Um... Spoilers?

No, silly. Fins and tentacles. Spoilers go on cars to make them look like they go fast.

Someone should put spoilers on the jaegers then.

And paint them red. Red ones go even faster.
