If they have the tech to build giant Jaegers I'm betting they have the tech to build tanks like the Landraider or Bolo style of tanks which are fast, pack ton of firepower and tough. Doesn't really matter though because mechs are cool and Facepunch isn't spacebattles.com where we discuss how impractical mechs can be.
I seen this movie. I liked it. I thought the action was awesome.

A Bolo vs. Kaiju would be neat to see
Man, being those helicopter pilots would have to suck. Seeing everyone get killed in shit. Lighting Jaeger/Kaiju battles when the Jarger loses, etc.
I've been watching Attack on Titan, and I just started Neon Genesis Evangelion yesterday. Now I really want to see this.
Too much giant stuff for me.
finally saw it
my god i should have seen this opening day
Pacific Rim: Where the world joins together for the first time to build gigantic nuclear robot mechs powered by neurally-conjoined pilots that can destroy alien behemoths from a magical interdimensional space vagina in the ocean, but [sp]they forget about radiation protection[/sp].
Why does this movie bomb so badly at the boxoffice? I watched it yesterday at the cinema and I thought it was awesome. I don't get it.
On the other hand, Transformers was successful. Has the world gone mad?

Because people thought giant robots fighting giant monsters is a cheesy idea?

And giant robots fighting other giant robots isn't?

Box office critics like only one thing - romance. And since this movie technically has none, or in the very least, portrays it poorly, it flops.

Man of Steel had worse romance than this but that went well.

i really wish ramin djawadi had done more iron man films

IIRC its doing really well overseas its just america where it did bad because people would rather see a adam sandler sequel.
Fuck Adam Sandler.
The only thing I could complain about the movie was that it had not enough Giant Robot action. It had tons, but I am still hungry for it. I haven't felt this good watching a movie for a long time...
I wish it would do better at the box office so we get a chance for a sequel.
Adam Sandler is a shit actor and should feel bad for being part of the movie industry, he isn't a credit to it whatsoever and just needs to fuck off.

You completely missed my point.
Man of Steel had a romance in it. This did not.
Whether it's a good one or not is irrelevant.

Did you watch Man of Steel man? There was barely any romance at all. Not even a 'can you read my mind' sequence.
Also, I dunno about your idea. You can't say Pacific Rim didn't do so well just because it didn't have romance in it.
EDIT: Actually now I changed my mind. If Pacific Rim went the Cameron route and was about two pilots in love during the middle of a kaiju apocalypse, I think the movie would of made a lot more money.

it seemed pretty implied in pacific rim to me
just because they didn't finalize with a kiss or anything doesn't mean they didn't care about each other.
Just saw it and I wanna buy the dvd already.
Only thing I didn't like were the characters. I didn't give a shit about any of them and didn't really know who any were but it didn't matter in the slightest to me because the action was just so fucking good.

It's not implied at all. At best, it's a sibling affection for each other. Perhaps farther down the road, there'll be something but not in that movie. It's already been discussed, and concluded, here in this thread several times over.

I don't think my sister stared at me when I took my shirt off but that's probably because my body is revolting to look at. Their 'romance' was definitely pushed out of the film and the strongest argument you can make is that Mako perhaps has a shy crush on Raleigh. Maybe they'll show more romantic stuff in later films like Man of Steel but there wasn't an overly 'strong' romantic side to their relationship.
Which thank God, because the romance subplots in Hellboy 1 and 2 were corny as hell.

Maybe it's a shy crush. When she stared at him while his door was open, I felt she was more focused on his scars than his physique.
Personally i would liked it if the 2 brothers worked together instead of [sp]the brother dies[/sp].

Prequel set in period of 'yeah robots are awesome eat shit kaiju' please

honestly though a sequel during the initial war would be kickass, I'd love to see Tacit Ronin in action. For being a first gen Jaeger it looked the most like something refined out of gundam or armored core, way more streamlined like a jet fighter instead of slow and clunky tanks
