Movies

That's prejudice all over it. Of course the director is key, but even visionaries can make crappy movies.

I mean, Peter Jackson did The Lovely Bones. Spielberg did Tintin, the fourth Indy movie, AI, The Lost World... And, from what it looks like, Del Toro will have Pacific Rim.

So, Pacific Rim is a mix of Transformers + Battleship? What a huge pile of crap! FabioParme Dec 13, 19:01

So, Pacific Rim is a mixture of Godzilla and Pan's Labyrinth? What a huge pile of joy! {nm} Moviesnob Dec 13, 19:04

That's fanboy talking. If they said in the trailer "directed by Michael Bay" everyone would be trashing it. {nm} FabioParme Dec 13, 19:14

If they said MBAY in the trailer, it would've looked different. {nm} Paul2k Dec 13, 19:15

Doubt it, because Pacific Rim LOOKS like a Michael Bay movie. FabioParme Dec 13, 19:19

your IM alone makes me think the opposite of your opinions on things. {nm} BSmurf Dec 13, 19:20

I think people trash Last Stand because it was directed by Brett Ratner and they think he did a poor job. {nm} Paul2k Dec 13, 19:21

Michael Bay takes 2 1/2 hours to bore me thoroughly. Ratner can get the job done in 90 minutes. {nm} RogerMore Dec 13, 19:32

To summarize: if I was 15 years old and still a virgin, then, maybe, I would be having goose bumps about Pacific Rim FabioParme Dec 13, 19:54

Nah, I'm talking solely about X-Men 3. I like the first 2 Rush Hour movies, for example. But X-Men 3 was just bad. RogerMore Dec 13, 20:01

It's like Michael Bay wants his legacy to be his Transformers movies FabioParme Dec 13, 20:08

Actually, he wants his legacy to be 'Pain And Gain' {nm} RazorHawk Dec 13, 20:13

I think people need to judge (trailers or movies) for what they look like, regardless of who is directing it. FabioParme Dec 13, 19:33

I think you are being reactionary. Its a trailer, designed to market the film to its audience. You should judge the film on its content, not Moviesnob Dec 13, 19:54

A trailer that shows me monsters coming from the center of the Earth and mankind building giant robots to fight them. Do I need more? FabioParme Dec 13, 20:04

you can share your opinion without being condescending. You can be excited for a movie without being a fanboy {nm} Moviesnob Dec 13, 20:26

I think you are saying it looks like transformers because it has giant robots, but you can take a minute a learn where the film's influences Moviesnob Dec 13, 20:29

simplify much?...this wasn't some SyFy channel movie like Mega-Octopus or whatever {nm} tealfan Dec 13, 20:58

I did and it looks fantastic...all the money is on the screen...and that's just the trailer! {nm} tealfan Dec 13, 20:57

Also, I don't think PACRM's trailer looked MBAY-ish, but that's just my opinion. Didn't have enough slowmotion cleavage. ;) {nm} Paul2k Dec 13, 19:26

I'll never understand this argument. The movie wouldn't EXIST if it didn't have Del Toro's name on it. And that was a kick-**** teaser. {nm} gopher123 Dec 14, 04:56

That's a big statement to make from a few minutes of footage... {nm} slappydavid Dec 13, 19:07

I saw about 10 new trailers these past few days and Pacific Rim was the worst. FabioParme Dec 13, 19:12

This is why we don't wake up the Fabio... he gets cranky if you wake him up before spring. {nm} RazorHawk Dec 13, 20:18

I agree the trailer looked like Transformers + Battleship - if that excites you go for it. To those of us that don't care for that stuff we JDolphin Dec 13, 20:27

I have to say I'm in agreement. The 1st trailer did nothing for me. I was so pumped for this and now meh. However, I do believe they lobogotti Dec 14, 07:14
