What did the first movie do so right to make people love it?
>>23586169Not suck and pander or china or John Boyega's retarded ass.
>>23586179Speak english in stead of gibberish.
>>23586169For me it was the weight of the mechs, the fight scenes had some thought put into it, and the practical effects. I really liked the little touches for example the scene where you think Gypsy is just going to walk through the bridge, and instead they carefully walk over it. Cargoship club was cool too.
>>23586169you can tell guillermo del taco loves toku and wanted to do it justice. every scene is directed to convey that robots are awesome.
>>23586231Pretty much this anon said. The way the camera focuses on the mecha reminds me of like, the 1st Iron Man movie where we see Stark put on the proper Iron Man suit for the first time.
>>23586264>>23586301This shot pretty much cements it. There was clear reverence for the Jaegers and even the kaiju in presenting them as larger than life characters and not just disposables.
Some PR trolling going on recently
>Hey remember those characters everybody liked? THEY'RE DEAD! This is why I hate sequels.
>>23586405Primary main character has a scheduling conflict?>Get buttmad at actor and have character fall down stairs and die in between moviesSecondary main character can come back?>That bitch was a love interest of the first guy, kill her too. And make it really stupidI think the worst part is that the conflict was for that King Arthur movie, a movie that managed to actually be shittier than Rim 2
>>23586396Who cares at this point. The 2nd movie already killed all interest and goodwill.
>>23586169i always wonder when i see a question like this -- do you have a soul? or are you just a bot trawling for content?
Heart It had heart.
>>23586396>letoOh man they must want this franchise extra fucking dead lol
>>23586932He's been using his cult money to fund his own projects, maybe because studios are unwilling to risk that money on a pedo.
>>23586987>maybe because studios are unwilling to risk that money on a pedo.That can't be it, that's like 75% of Hollywood.
>>23586169Heavy marketing equity
>>23586169They copied Evangelion with the Avengers ending.
>>23587101if they copied anything it's Godannar but with less tits.
>>23586169it had heart AND souldel taco's love for giant robots was blatant sequel was shit, script written by literal monkeys and let's not forget that booyega faggot who thought he was going to be the next big thing thanks to his shit role in SW (lmao look how that turned out)
>>23587101Dumb retarded evafaggot
>>23587172Not that /m/an but "PR copied NGE" was an /a/ and /jp/ shitpoast that spread out into social media quickly after the first PR trailer came out. Mostly because of a ship being tossed around and blue streaks in Rinko's hair.
>>23586169i saw PR in theatres with my dad and a /m/ friend who i dont talk to anymore but i still love the movie. hated the tv show and the sequel. Del Taco just gets it.
>>23586169I already thought the first one was trash so I didn't waste my time with the sequel.
>>23586169mexican oyaji's cool robot show
With Michael Bay coming back to make another Transformers movie, Del Toro needs to comeback and make a 3rd PR movie to set things right
>>23588071Nah fuck it, just call it 2. Pacific rim 2, coming soon! and just ignore any questions.
>>23587760>i saw PR in theatresMy greatest regret was not watching this in theaters
>>23588733I saw it in a crappy run down out of focus theater with bad speakers. It was wonderful.
>>23588733It was the first movie I saw in 3D.Probably the best too. Added so much more weight to everything.
>>23588071>With Michael Bay coming back to make another Transformers movieI think Hasbro still doesn't realize those movies were propped up entirely by China and that ship even sailed a long time ago.
I remember watching it three times.You need the big screen for these big robots.>>23588733I went to an IMAX, damn that was a huge screen.
>>23589132>I remember watching it three times.Based.I only watched it twice because my friends couldn't make it into a single session and split to two groups to watch at different times. I happened to be available and went for both. So worth it.
>>23589067They were pretty diminishing even as of Bumblebee
>Del Toro conceived the film as an operatic work: "That was one of the first words I said to the entire team at ILM. I said, 'This movie needs to be theatrical, operatic, romantic.' We used a lot of words not usually associated with high-tech blockbusters … We went for a very, very, very, very saturated color palette for the battle for Hong Kong. I kept asking John to tap into his inner Mexican and be able to saturate the greens and the purples and the pinks and the oranges." The classic Japanese woodblock print The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai was a common motif in the ocean battles; Del Toro recalled, "I would say 'Give me a Hokusai wave' … we use the waves and weather in the movie very operatically."[70] The director asked that Knoll not necessarily match the lighting from shot to shot: "It's pretty unorthodox to do that, but I think the results are really beautiful and very artistically free and powerful, not something you would associate with a big sci-fi action movie." Del Toro considers the film's digital water its most exciting visual effect: "The water dynamics in this movie are technically beautiful, but also artistically incredibly expressive. We agreed on making the water become almost another character.
>>23586169It treated the giant robots like giant robots and not acrobats in cosplay.
Also fuck yeah they reprinted the Plamax models.
