Pacific RIm was super fun, just really fun and fucking awesome.
it was colorful, creative, stylized, fast paced, i liked the characters, the fights were awesome, the mechs were awesome the monsters were awesome. it was like Power Rangers on full throttle insanity! whats not to love.
it walked the line of campy and dramatic, it was fun but i could take it seriously when it needed to be serious.
the monsters and mechs all had weight to them and the impact they had on the environment felt real, everything felt right, like the physics and weight of how things moved.
the movie was just really pretty too, the colors, everything glowed, it was just beautiful.
everyone is afraid of color these days.
and i liked the human characters, i actually gave a fuck about what happened to most of them.
i feel like this is what Transformers wishes it could be, this is everything Transformers is not.
also, when i saw Iron Man 3, i really loved it. but after a few days of watching reviews and really thinking about it, its not that good. IM3 had a lot of things wrong with it.
IM3 does not deserve to be in the Billion dollar club, PR deserved to make way more money and GU2 should not exist.
but hey, its a miracle PR even got made, and for that i am very happy. it was the first time in a long while i was actually happy, and filled with joy while watching a movie. for a brief 2 hours, i felt like i was seeing something amazing, and i loved it.
Pacific Rim will join the ranks of Scott Pilgrim and Speed Racer, 3 movies that deserved so much more.
i want to go see PR again and plan on buying a Gypsy Danger toy.

i fucking loved it, i really really hope there is a sequel.
i also knew PR would get stomped by Grown Ups 2, but i am pleasantly surprised that Despicable Me 2 is number 1 and NOT GU2, so, at least GU2 is not on top.
