Its like you didn’t watch the first five minutes of the movie.
it’s like you didn’t watch the rest
That’s exactly what they did.
The more you say things the more it becomes obvious you didn’t actually pay attention to the movie, and are just bitching about something you happened to notice more than the other things that actually happened.
Damn near every video we posted in this thread was that.
Beat the shit out of them for a little bit, pull out a weapon or throw them at some point, use the environment every now and then, punch them some more, do some weird shit, kill them.
Did this not happen?:
Or this?:
Or even this?:
You are working really hard right now, if you’re trolling, I admire that.
Who the fuck wants to watch a movie where the heroes stomp the opposition without any effort? It wouldn’t be robots and monsters fighting, it would be giant robots shooting everything that comes out of a portal for +2 hours.
What kind of bullshit is that? I’d rather watch giant robots punch giant monster repeatedly than watch them shoot them and kill them instantly.
The same reason Godzilla doesn’t start every fight blowing monsters up with atomic breathe. Suspense, and it makes the moves more badass when they’re brought out. Movie makers bullshit them holding back by giving stupid reasons for them not to use these moves, like ammo, or the character didn’t think of it at the time, or they needs to be charged. That’s writing, but they could easily write these things to be infinite, they don’t though, because that would make the movies lame and all of the fights boring and one sided.
And you’re also contradicting yourself now.
You don’t like that they win by pulling out weapons, but you want them to do more than just beat the monsters to death?
No, it’s like he didn’t watch the movie at all, just watched the trailers, youtube videos, and a few reviews, then came here to troll.
The level of ignorance he’s showing is just that remarkable.
I appreciate my films to have logic. When you have a cannon that can kill every monster with ease, it makes me wonder why you don’t build more of them, and instead go with giant punchbots. Or giant walls.
And I’d rather see them us all sorts of attacks against each other. I preferred Power Ranger monster battles, to this.
it’s ignorant to want a movie that has higher aspirations than “written by a five year old”? Bad script, boring uncreative fights, and the highlight of the movie was the set design and effects and lighting.
I still have faith they can put out a killer Pacific Rim movie. I just don’t think they’ve done it yet.
…It’s still over 70% intact.
It got roughed up, yeah, and is missing an arm, but it’s completely fine other than that.
Crimson Typhoon is missing it’s head, and that’s it.
Lol.
Folks, I think this guy is trying to be That Guy™.
Let’s ignore him for trying.
Rewatching those fight scenes makes it very clear that those weapons aren’t busted out all the time because of their drawbacks.
-The swords looks flimsey as fuck, sharp sure but a blow to the side would probably break it.
-
The plasma cannon did a lot of damage but had like no stopping power, not much use unless the Kaiju is being held down.
-
Rocket punch has startup
-
The chinese robot used it’s weapons (the blades)
-
Other Amercan bot’s missiles again had startup
-
It looks like german robot’s weapons were just pnumatic fists like pilebunkers and they used them
Not sure if Soviet is trolling or just didn’t think this through.
lol what? Did you miss where Leatherface or whatever held the rapidly flooding remains underwater till it blew the fuck up? 70% intact? LMFAO WHERE DID YOU PULL THAT NUMBER OUT OF?
hey guys, this guy is using logic, let’s ignore him cuz GIANT MECHS AND KAIJU HERRRR DERRRRR
It was chopping off Kaiju limbs and heads with a single swing. AND THEY FORGOT IT EVEN EXISTED. Instead they choose to use a boat as a sword, RATHER THAN THE SWORD THEY HAVE. Bad script writing 101.
Build 1000 more of them, rather than a useless million foot wall, or better yet, have them lining the wall.
and zero effect
Then got quickly bodied and had a kill count of zero. Impressive. In fact, none of the other Jaiger’s got to shine, besides Gypsy.
I thought it was Australian. Either way, it had startup because of poor design. Why hide the cannons? Just have them fuckers out and charging and ready to fire whenever necessary. You know, like all military weaponry. I don’t remember M1 Abrams tanks needing to pull out it’s cannons and charge them up.
I thought it was Russian. That’s two bots you got wrong now. Out of like 4 in the movie. Did you even watch it? And thanks for verifying my ‘Jaiger’s are just giant punching bots’ theory.
Does logic confuse you?
Pacific Rim 2 is going to have a Jaiger with 50 arms to just nonstop punch shit. And you guys will love it. Monsters shooting acid and EMP’s and flying, and mankind is defiantly trying to punch it to death just like how we hunted all animals in the real world to extinction with our bare hands.
Soviet trying to pull a Juha of the Clouds, fighting beyond the point of death n shit
I haven’t seen one valid defence of this movie beyond “it had giant monsters and robots, how isn’t that enough?” I don’t even need to troll this thread, I just post what happened in the movie, and instantly I am vindicated. This is the easiest argument of my lifetime.
So tell us why you are arguing in the first place?
because I want the sequel to be better. Pacific Rim 1 was like a Star Wars Episode 1 moment for me. I had so much hype going into that. I’m a kaiju fanatic. Grew up on the stuff. Pacific Rim was supposed to be what Godzilla 98 was supposed to be. Instead, I walked out just so unimpressed. I loved the scenery in Hong Kong, for instance, and in the Jaiger suits, but I found the actual story itself, the plotholes, and the combat, just so underwhelming.
I liked enough of the general movie premise to want a sequel, done right. If people wanna argue that I’m wrong, I’m gonna defend my valid points.
Motherfucker, does it really fucking matter about the nationality of the robots, yeah I’ve had a few months of doing other shit since watching the movie, so fucking what?
They don’t have 50,000 fucking plasma cannons because the movie states the robots are ridculously expensive to make, it’s not an unfair assumption that plasma cannons are part of that cost.
The boat was bigger than the sword giving a weight advantage and the Kaiju they fought with it looked a lot bulkier than the other one, with that flimsey looking sword it probably wouldn’t have been a great idea to try and bust it out.
Cannons are behind the armour because the Jaegers are designed for close combat so the cannons need to be protected.
I swear motherfucker in here wants the robots to vaporise everything in 10 seconds with some kind of hyper death cannon and then have the rest of the movie be about something else entirely.
so have I, and I was disappointed in the movie, and I still remembered. No excuses.
Yeah, I get that the bots were expensive. Maybe cuz of all those pricey unused legs. They couldn’t afford cannons because they spent their budget on weapons they forgot they even had.
flimsy looking sword lol. Except it came in segments, and looked mechanical, and cut kaiju heads off in ONE SHOT. The boat was another blunt object that had no effect on the kaiju’s. He used a boat, against a monster that smashes through buildings. Do you not see the flaw there? He went to fight a monster, with a twig, that can obliterate houses and towers with no negative effect to itself, when he had a sword that one shots things.
You know the 40 mins they spend choppering in the Jaeger’s? That would be a fantastic time to charge them up.
No, I want a giant robot man to have more diverse attacks than “punch in face” and “rocket punch in face” and “grab blunt object and hit in face with punching motions”. They’re supposed to be the weapons we designed to save the world with, as a united world, and the best we could come up with is boxer’s with ultra attacks?
I can’t tell if this is intentional, or if it’s just that big a pet peeve here.
so every thread created on SRK has to be full of song and praise, and no negative criticism or demands are allowed to be discussed?
Thread is PR2, your grieving over PR1 man let it go lol
I merely discussed what needs to be improved in PR2 for me to view it as a successful movie.
You’re going about it heavy-handed enough that if it was in-person, I’d be surprised if you weren’t foaming at the mouth.
If you want to talk shortcomings of PR ONE, objectivity is how you’ll be taken seriously.
Until then, you’re just another hater.
i see what soviets saying hes just being hyperbolic.
punches had little to no real effect on the kaiju…were any of the kaiju punched to death in the movie? i dont think so. for practicality’s sake, it would have been cool to see them have guns loaded up with the same shit gypsy dangers hand shot. maybe rifles like EVA.
still, them NOT having those didnt make the movie horrible. the movie was still amazingly enjoyable, even when the russian bot elbow dropped the kaiju into the water and i thought to myself “that doesnt even look like it hurt him”. saw it twice int he theaters and twice on dvd so far, still enjoyable every time
bring on PR2
Ah yes, the “people who hate this movie didn’t watch it” defense.
The quality of advocacy here is just so fucking high.
