What went so horribly wrong?
>>
>>63572264
The fucking idea to battle giant robots at night in the heavy sea during 90min.


A short 10min cgi's film would have been fine.
>>
>>63572264
Too few robot battles.
>>
>>63572264
Some idiots walked into the theater expecting a deep, engrossing story like the better mecha-series, rather than just appreciating mecha vs kaiju combat scenes.
>>

Shit tier direct-to-video actors as leads

It's a fucking movie about giant robots fighting giant monsters! They use a fucking ship as a sword at one point! Excuse me if I just wanted to enjoy a film for its good parts and try to ignore the bad parts rather than ruin the experience I paid for by picking apart every scene.

How much did they pay these guys for ripping off pretty much every idea?

They even stole the multi-person crew thing which was a major plot point in the game. Niggers.
>>
It didn't follow the rules

>One pilot per robot
>All the pilots must be between 13 to 19 because reasons
>MC is a Japanese boy or he has Japanese roots
>His dad built the robot and/or he's the boss of the headquarter

Nothing. It's phenomenal. Just wish it was longer.

Someone decided to give the Russian and Chinese robots 30 seconds of screen time.
>>
>>63572264

they wanted to be like a more serious transformers but managed to find a plot that made less sense

the fights were also kind of boring and always occluded by rain or ocean or something

i'm sorry, but randomly pulling out new outlandish weapons (and only doing so after the alien murders your ally or tears off your robot's arm) one at a time doesnt make a fight interesting to me

Absolutely nothing.

Nothing. It was a great summer flick. Evafags just hate it because the main character doesn't spend the entire movie bitching and crying.
>>
>>63574613
Evafags seriously thing this was a rip off of some Japanese cartoon about fake symbolism?

I mean, cuz the idea of Japanese robots vs monsters is so clearly an idea original to eva
>>
>>63574664
Eva is the only anime that evafags have seen, so they compare it to everything else that has giant robots.

Wrong? Absolutely fucking nothing.

I'm not sure really, all of the ingredients for an excellent movie were there but somehow it fell super flat. I was ready to write Del Toro off after Pacific Rim until I saw Crimson Peak.

Del Taco didn't realize he needed plot outside of the robot battles.

Why did they need multiple pilots? Wouldn't it be more practical to have just one?

Confirmed for having not watched the movie.
The strain of piloting the robot by yourself mentally was too much for one pilot. Two were needed to share the stress it causes

Pacific Rim is like a non-ironic version of Team America: World Police.

>starts off with an action sequence where an important character is traumatized by the death of a loved one
>no-nonsense guy in charge of team recruits a reluctant hero because "he's the best"
>shit gets real when the enemy attacks a giant wall/the Panama Canal
>hitting Vulcanize buttons whenever the action sequences has to end
>retarded Asian girl with psychic powers / retarded Asian girl with mind-drift powers
>attack on central command takes out the team of pilots and leaves Gary as the only person who can save the day

Why use a blunt boat as a sword when you can use the actual sword they're carrying??!?!!?

Stupid fucking writing.

Epic!!! xD to the capeshit/JJ Abrams crowd

This was a perfect movie. I don't know how anyone could have a problem with it.
