I cant wait to see it tomorrow afternoon! I'd go tonight if it weren't for that pesky thing called "Work"!

I'd definitely see it, I love giant Japanese-influenced monsters.

Plus Guillermo del Toro rules.

I mean come on, giant monsters vs giant robots...what's not to like...lol.

Just got back form it. I can't even comment on it. I stared at a movie screen for 90 minutes, something was happening, but I'm not sure what. It was dark and screechy and loud and it rained the entire movie. There was a lot of water. The script was something a film school student would come up with. It was Top Gun meets Robo Jocks with monsters and a far cry from what del Toro did with Pan's Labyrinth. Ron Perlman was entertaining. That's about it. I honestly don't know what I just watched.

Yep, that sounds like a Kaiju movie!! Lol

[Hector]

I've heard about people complaining that it almost all takes place during rainy nights...that could be annoying to me.

[Bruce Banner]

Quite a bit of the kaiju-jaeger combat does take place during night, or during rain, but it doesn't tend to detract from the action too much.

So Disappointing. Ugh!

[Earth 2 Chris]

It's not doing too well. Beat by Grown Ups 2 and Despicable Me 2, which has been out for nearly two weeks.

Well, I am a real jerky critic when it comes to certain styles of movie, and ill say that I liked this film! It was in a simple word ..... Fun. It also touched (extremely brief) on things that I liked, such as the entire globe was in a brutal depression/recession due to the events, and how soon humans forget about major events. The tech was really cool, the Kaiju were neat, and they even had a cool backstory. There was just enough human element, but they kept it focused on the central task. Oh well, anyways, that's just one mans perspective! Lol

I saw it loved it......what's not to love Robot vs Giant monster Win!

[madmarva]

I thought it was fun, but the ending is reminiscent of Avengers, which was reminiscent of Independence Day and so on.

[Gorn Captain]

Just saw it.
I could watch it again today...because I loved it!
This is what Transformers should have been. The fights are awesome, with the "robots" and Kaiju bashing into each other, you can really feel the "crunch" when they impact.
If you are a fan of Anime, it should trigger a lot of "oh yeah!" reactions, even the music reminds you of Anime.

The CG is amazing, I was totally into it (which is rare for me). Yes, there are lot of scenes that are in the rain and water, but it's appropriate to the action. These are water beasts, so it fits.
The movie has the typical Del Toro humor in it, and Ron Perlman is a lot of fun (I want his shoes!). Don't forget to wait until the last titles, because there's a little extra scene at the end.

Did I mention I loved it?

Took the kids to see it yesterday, everybody loved it. I'm embarrassed that plop like Transformers makes a billion dollars and something that is so much better crafted (not to say that it's War and Peace but it's a good yarn) and fun, is not the number one movie in the world.

I will say though, I'm tired of watching cities being laid to waste, even the one comedy I've seen this year (This is the End) had it. The rest of my summer movie watching will have a "no explosion" rule.

Also, it's so rare and refreshing to see Charlie Day yelling in something.

^^^THat's destruction porn. Every meteor, comet, missle, giant freakin laser, giant space ship, lava eruption, nuclear bomb, giant monster attack and Michael Moore film always has to lay waste to a major city or landmark. The Earth is pretty big. The odds of everything hitting Paris, DC and London in every movie are pretty remote. I understand the need to pull in an audience by making these things happen in a familiar setting, but please stop blowing up the White House, Golden Gate Bridge, that giant London Ferris wheel thing, the Hollywood letters, the Redeemer statue in Brazil, the Eifel tower and the Chrylser Building. Start blowing up, crushing, disentegrating, razing, annihilating and generally effing up stuff like accordian factories and mime schools. Then you could get cheers from the audience in addition to shock and awe.

Saw it yesterday as well and loved it. Fun when people are cheering when the jaeger kicks kaiju arse! The room was full of energy and even the Charlie Day parts were awesome. He and Ron Perlman did it for me. Love the whole female pilot bit. Worked for me and is favorite character hands down.
