If you think you can compare Pacific Rim to Bayformers you need to do yourself the disfavor of rewatching some of those Bayformers flicks and see what truly abominable cinema looks like.

To me, they're both movies with meh characters, below average-average dialogue, and just loud robots clashing with each other. Pacific Rim had more heart to it, I'll give it that but I really feel like if you slapped Bay's name on Pacific Rim, the reception would've been different
The difference for me (aside from being one of those people who sometimes just enjoys watching giant robots fight giant monsters) is that del Toro is a more talented filmmaker than Bay so visually his films look so much better than the repetitively pedestrian way that Bay shoots all of his films.

Nope. If Bay's name was slapped on Pacific Rim, people would've been like "Looks like he's learning a bit".
Unlike Bayformers Pacific Rim had simple, but straight forward character motivations instead of that extended 15 minute random jock comedy subplot bullshyt.
Unlike Bayformers Pacific Rim had well-choreographed action scenes that had logic and build-up behind them instead of being a bunch of muddled up trash explosions all over the place.
They aren't comparable at all, and again, Pacific Rim was just alright, but 'alright' is a status Bayformers never reached.
Oh yeah I will agree with that, but I still say he made an average or below average flick and is boring as hell when monsters aren't fighting robots
I'm not into Bay bashing- I judge the work. The comedy was eh, the acting was serviceable. The action was glorious.
