    Ok, so, what works? Fight scenes (duh) Anime tropes (and they hit ALOT of them) Physical setpieces Ellen McLain (we needed more of her, really) What doesn't work? Frankly, any story bits that aren't anime tropes are rather stupid Too many flat performances and poor line readings A few horrid performances (Clifton Collins is flat out bad, and Charlie Day is a hideous cross between JJ Abrams and Bobcat Goldwaith) I really don't care about any of these characters Post-credits scene is worth a chuckle (A7, you really should delete your spoilers) I want to give it a 6/10, but the old anime geek in me says give it a 7/10 and be happy.

    No--she's dead.

    Frak it, I'm watching sharks all day on SyFy! Edit: I'm not sure I can do this...

    What's "fun" about a movie that's widely regarded to be flat out bad?

    Money grab. Look one post up. Had he intended it to be best viewed in IMAX 3D, he'd have used IMAX 3D cameras. He didn't--he filmed it in 2D.

    Reminder: Pacific Rim was not filmed in 3D. The post-conversion job is a money grab by the studio, and not an artistic choice by del Toro. In other words, it's meant to be viewed in 2D.

    If it's good, hope it does well. If it's bad, hope it flops. Bad movies doing poorly discourage studios from investing in similar shite. In principle, anyway.

    Currently at 75% on RT, but we still have four days until release. Anything north of 60% would be a good sign in my mind, as it's clearly a genre film that doesn't have universal appeal. I'm nervous but hopeful.

    It's the first thing to chose to point out; it was your lead. Simply saying its not true.

    Depp is not recognized as having any Native American blood, and it was something he hasn't mused about in some 20 years.

    A7 has forced my hand...
  14. Duke Togo
    No, he's not "acting like" he's a Native American; he's doing a caricature, and that is what is offensive. See: Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
  15. Duke Togo
    I disagree. The movie is getting it's ass handed to it.
  16. Duke Togo
    You clearly haven't seen many westerns. And red face is what Depp is doing in this movie. It's the Native American version of black face.
  17. Duke Togo
    What genre would that be? Red face?

    Where else would it be floating? Van Damme made JCVD, and it was fantastic. Critical raves, the whole 9 yards. And what has he done worthwhile since then? Not a goddamned thing.

    That goes to Mars. And Venus. And a few more planets in our system.

    Guilty pleasure? Where was the pleasure?
  24. Duke Togo
    No

    A7, I think this calls for a "DUH!" It's like those two White House movies that came out: if you saw the trailers for any of these movies and said, "wow, that looks great, I can't wait to see it," you deserve to have your money taken from you.
