wow they put pacific rim on the disc twice so you can watch it twice as many times, how considerate
jk actually, I didn't really mind the second movie, but also didn't really get the hype for the first movie. it's hollywood mecha stuff which is rarer, but still not groundbreaking imo
What I liked in the first one is how tight everything is. The story is simple but effective, good pacing, the visuals are great, effects are solid, the sound design is top class. It's just a neat little effective bundle, just like 2012 Dredd or the first John Wick. Sometimes all you need is a simple solid digestable package. I wish we had more movies like this.
Hard agree, I think we're going to see a breaking point soon where studios get tired of constantly trying to release the next big thing and hopefully get back to making stories that tell just enough
Happy birthday man. I'm sure there are a couple crankable moments in those films. Crank dat, all on the floor crank dat til you get soree, ohhwoahoahh.
That Batman collection the Batman / Returns / Forever / & Robin sequence? Dang. Treasure the first one, watch Returns once, and throw the other two away unwatched. Some people might not believe that a film with many scenes of Uma Thurman dancing around in corset and tights could be so bad that it's not worth your time at all, but those people are fools. I am one of them; saw it at the cinema when I was a kid.
Incidentally my local international theater movie conglomerate started offering an unlimited screenings subscription and if you go to 2 a month it's priced right. Fuuuuuck.

The Cornetto series is the best!

Easily the best movies there for sure, and there's some good stuff in the rest but these are just a class of their own.

I know it's a different writer/director and there's no Cornetto joke but that collection needs Paul.
