I thought it was ok. Wasn't wack or anything. It's probably Del Toro's second worst movie, next to "Hellboy".

:whoa: not "Hellboy 2", that shyt was crack.

Are cac's that upset about a black man having a leading role? There is no reason why this movie didn't do units besides cacs being cacs if you ask me.

I'm sure white people the world over are just seething at Idris Elba's 30 minutes of screen time in a robots vs. monsters movie

Guess they should have promoted the bulldog better

Very dope....one thing bugged the hell out of me tho. The pilots have some type of nuero association or connection with the robots. So why do they have to mimic the movements ? It would be less dramatic but it would've made more sense to have them in something like the precogs in minority report. Then they could just show us what's in their heads during the fight instead of them pretty much being on a stairmaster.

I liked the movie but have some issues with it too. First the acting was staid and unrealistic. At times I thought I was watching a Power Rangers movie. Second the international focus was disconcerting and unnecessary. It's like the Spanish director went out of his way not to include Americans. Third the movie could have been longer.

the story and acting was :camby:

effects and Idris were :leon:

Completely agree with this....

nikkas in here overrating this movie.

It was entertaining but lets not act like it was some all time great summer movie.

This summer movie season has been kind of weak IMO. Lot of decent movies being overhyped as being great. Most of them have been entertaining but nothing that I was dying to rush out and see again.

The blockbusters have been disappointing as fukk, the best stuff has been the smaller films and even out of them people are overrating the fukk out of "This is the end" and "World's end".

I will say the only outright horrible movie was probably R.I.P.D.

The fact that you would even say this proves it was necessary. You been brainwashed into thinking that if the shyt hits the fan ONLY The United States is going to get involved and they'll be leading the charge. You think if the entire world was being attacked by Giant Monsters Japan, China, the UK, and other nations wouldn't try and do something about it and pool their resources?

Also the main character is supposed to be American, Charlie Hunnam just gives no fukks about trying to keep up his American accent.

I liked the international take, however all the international character were stereotypical, especially the Russians. Although it kinda makes sense since it's lossely based on anime and they are known to run with stereotypical characters.

Anyway, movie was okay. Good mindless popcorn flick with great effects. Same goes for Man of Steel.
