Anyone else watch it? I thought it was superb: the dialogue not so much. But let's be real, I only came to watch giant robots beating the mess out of giant monsters. Beautiful visuals that put Michael Bay to shame.

Can't wait for Atlantic Rim :rolleyes:


What's your thoughts of the movie?

I went and saw the movie yesterday. i must say i really enjoyed it, it was a combination of Iron Man (Big Spinney Chest Thingey and Suit), Avatar (Mind Drift/Mental Handshake), Transformers (Big Boss Robotic Suits), and Godzilla (Giant Dinosaurs Pretty Much).

I just saw it three hours ago. First that Asian chick. I hated her character. She had no redeeming qualities. All she did was cry, or make things worse. 2nd) The main character. Well actually all the characters. Complete cliches. No depth, nothing to like about any of them. 3rd) Dialogue. Maybe the only movie that would actually be better as a silent film. 4th) The story. Or lack there of. 5th) The robot fights. The first fight was cool. After that, it got old real fast. 6th) The final fight underwater. As soon as their robot was punctured, that should have been the end. But no. Plus that nuke was ridiculous. So a category 5 monster gets destroyed, but a category 4 lives? Bullshit. 7th) Predictable. Everyone who was supposed to die did. Too convenient. No twists at all. It wasn't even funny. I enjoyed Charlie Days' character, but that's only because I picture his character from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia say his lines. I feel asleep twice during the movie and still understood everything that was happening. Overall, 3/10. I would only recommend this to Michael Bay and people I don't like

Which is why I said I only came for the action, I knew the acting would be cheesy

Even the action was cheesy. The first one was cool, but it never evolved from there. All of the monsters were difficult to defeat. There was no real "Wow this cat 4 is so much tougher than that cat 3." or "how are they ever gonna beat this cat 5" all of the monsters took insane amounts of damage. It was ridiculous and got lame quickly

Different mindset I guess, makes it more enjoyable to appreciate the fights as a whole than to criticize the specifics. I loved the fights regardless if the categories were inconsistent
