Horrible movie. And I loved the first one.


What the hell happened here?!

The franchise is DEAD, this was done only for the Chinese market, they invested the money and they controlled every single element of it, there will never be a third one.

So what you are saying is Chinese people love horrible movies? That doesn't make sense.

reply

Not detecting sarcasm so here we go, yes, they love terrible movies, just like America also has their share of love for terrible movies, every country love a few terrible movies from time to time, China is in a special place now since they come from decades of government bans (way worse than the current ones) where most american movies were banned, they are consuming almost anything from the big franchises, not going to last forever thou, that is why movie studios are cashing that big fat check while it lasts.

It's more they love China pandered movies that show how great their country is with taking leads and that the evil white man was behind it all and not the stern looking no fun China ladys fault.

The first movie was a POS and the second movie, likely a glaring POS, like I knew it would be. Silly, hot-dogging, young fools controlling giant robots to battle inter-dimensional monsters. Stupid.

Are you INSANE? The first movie was great entertainment. But stick to transformers by all means.

reply

Hey, if you liked the first PR movie, that's cool. I didn't like it. Case of two opinions bro.
Transformers... LOL!

reply

Yeah, I know. The whole "go watch Transformers" thing is kinda mandatory in these discussions, however.

Uprising left me such bad aftertaste that the very next day I purchased the first movie on iTunes just to compare them (and because it was cheaper most likely due to the release of the new one), I had not seed the first movie since its release on 2013, watching it again was such a treat, it is amazing the difference, all the Jaegers feel so heavy and real in the first one, the drama feels a little closer to reality (for a cartoon kind of story of course) with real deaths left and right, the stakes were high and everyone knew it, there was real sacrifice.
