Hoping for more robot v kaiju fights, less attempts at character development and plot.

Also, please give me an epic final battle and not one where the robots are at an extreme disadvantage and basically useless in a fight.

Seriously though, dramatic plot got in the way of what could have been my favourite movie of all time.

Would prefer to see a prequel about what happened in between the prologue and what happened in the original film but still excited for this.

Happy to see it got a sequel. I was worried it was dead in the water given the disappointing box office numbers.

Well Charlie Hunnam isn't in this one, so there's a chance it might not be terrible. Definitely a step in the right direction from the god awful acting in the first movie. Hopefully the dialogue is better and they don't waste half of the movie with a weird comic relief bit again.

Seeing this shot in bright daylight highlights why the first one was always shot in the dark. Visually, this looks ridiculous.

Typical trailer giving too much away is typical.

I miss the color/tone from the first, but some of it is still there. Should still be a fun enjoyable action robot flick.

Some foreign words sound inherently cool from a Western perspective, but something about the way that they call them "Kaiju"s and "Jager"s just sounds so fundamentally corny and stupid to me in this movie. Don't know what it is.

Pacific Rim is absolutely corny and stupid and I love that

Saw a trailer for it on the big screen. Actually pretty underwhelmed by what I saw. Just looked off and more videogamey.

This series is for those who thought that the Power Rangers was too high-brow. Just a shame that it's wasting Charlie Day's time.

Didn't like the first movie much at all. Found it dull, overrated, etc. Hopefully this one will be better, but I can't say I'm excited or have bought into any buzz.

They have started showing commercials more since the new one comes out soon

Cant say commercials are doing much to change my perception of film

First one was underwhelming and this one looks a bit more underwhelming to be honest (Some of the CGI looks poor)

GDT bought in to the campy nature of it all and ran with it, creating a stupidly successful product. I want more of that.
