Lord Flashheart Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 LF,MoS had interesting philosophical points. That's why I liked it. To be totally honest I still haven't seen it, and to be even more honest I have a predisposed hate for Superman. So I would probably hate it either way.

Werthead Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 That's odd. Man of Steel isn't out (here, anyway) on Blu-ray until 2 December, whilst Pacific Rim, which came out later at the cinema, is out on 11 November. Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I liked both but enjoyed Man of Steel more - despite it being far more uneven I thought its heights were surpassed anything Pacific Rim attempted. PAcific Rim is consistently entertaining though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stannis Eats No Peaches Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Ser Rod.,In your opinion. Whereas PR's philosophic perspective is that "Robots fighting monsters is awesome!"And awesome it is. :) That honest trailer is right on the money. Pacific Rim is dumb, but still awesome.

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Castel,What haunts me is why they didn't take the Kaiju out as they emerged from the rift with jaegers twice or three times their size. Never fight "fair". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdyphillip Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I finally watched Pacific Rim a week or so ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I can't imagine a better movie being made with a monster vs robot theme. Idris Elba is a treat to watch. When the movie was over, I didn't have the urge to poke my eyes out with something sharp, so that tells me that it must have been much more enjoyable than Man of Steel.

RumHam Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Oddly I watched both movies this weekend. Preferred Pacific Rim but neither was especially interesting. Superman really suffered from repeating a story I've heard/seen sooo many times. I mean yeah, what did I expect. Maybe now that they've gotten the origin story and Zod out of the way the series can produce interesting movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmail Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Pacific Rim was simply terrible. I mean, I could watch Transformers easier than this movie. Gah, I can't express how bored I was in this movie. I couldn't even enjoy it for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 That's odd. Man of Steel isn't out (here, anyway) on Blu-ray until 2 December, whilst Pacific Rim, which came out later at the cinema, is out on 11 November. Odd. Not that odd- December is just late enough that it could be considered aimed at the Christmas market, and is presumably being held back for such. Whereas Pacific Rim isn't really a big enough property to have that appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 What haunts me is why they didn't take the Kaiju out as they emerged from the rift with jaegers twice or three times their size. Never fight "fair". I think they do address this: it takes a considerable portion of the world's resources to build the jaegers they had, and they needed quite a few jaegers to combat the threat along the Pacific coast wherever it emerged. Building a jaeger three times bigger than a kaiju would therefore be counter-productive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Wert,What about rotating jaegers guarding the rift and taking out the Kaiju as they emerge rather than waiting for them to get close to populated areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Wert,What about rotating jaegers guarding the rift and taking out the Kaiju as they emerge rather than waiting for them to get close to populated areas? Inefficient. The rift is hundreds of miles from the nearest land (thousands from a mainland where they can build a jaegar base) and at the start the jaegars were coming through weeks apart. You can't stay on station for that length of time. They seemed to think it would work better just to monitor the rift and then dispatch jaegars when needed, and that did seem to work for a fair while.

Lord Flashheart Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Ser Scot,Why is supermans disguise a pair of glasses? Better yet why does he even have a secret identity he's freakin superman! I joke of course. Surely such minutiae details like where the Jagers were deployed from couldn't keep you from enjoying a film. If that were the case I feel a superman movie would give you tons more instances of plot devices that don't make total sense. ETA: even before honest trailers I think everyone was wondering "why did they wait to use the sword?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brzibrzi Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 i loved the movie. it has a lot of flaws but it's about giant man controlled robots fighting giant monsters, IT'S AWESOME!!! no point in asking why this and why that, the story has flaws, the battles have flaws the characters have no depth but i could watch jagers fighting kaijus all day long, especially in or near cities.
