A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Strangely enough, the quality of big blockbuster movies is reaching the point where they have the same level of quality as those of game cinematics. The acting part and the "story" are so forgettable that the CGI is all that remains. And the CGI is stupid. I mean, not bad, just completely dumb. I've seen this done real time in computer games. The creators of this movie bet big money on condescendingly telling their entire audience that they are cretins for watching and, of course, paying for this. The whole movie is stupid, not the CGI, the CGI is slightly more interesting.And you might think that I am one of those haters, but I am not. I actually loved the actors and how they played. Imagine good actors, waiting and training their entire life to get into the big leagues, and when they get there they have to perform admirably... on a dumb script. I am not going through it, just consider this: the entire premise of the movie is that kaiju blood reacts violently with rare earth minerals. So all you need to do is shoot him with rare earth mineral bullets! It was that bad.
Clearly the writers have tried hard to appease their Chinese producers. The plot was absolute nonsense, especially the ending and I hope they don't make a part 3!!. Such a shame.
Who in their right mind have greenlit this script? ''Alright gents, lets talk a PR sequel..'' '' so I got this idea where we show 10 minutes of Kaiju...'' '''Stop right there son, lets do this!' What the hell guys, I want destruction! I want monsters beating the crap out of giant robots and vice versa. Both Kaiju and the rigs are not as cool as in the first movie. The actors are bad and the story is ridiculous. They should have gone a whole different way. On a side note, I did like scrapper but its very under used. The lead guy dropped out the class, but appears to be a good fighter, so they should have made him a badass fighter who could fight more than one Kaiju at a time. Get rid of the kids recruits and just stick with the girl who controls scrapper. Keep the story the same until the remote control rigs show up. Make gypsy and scrapper work together, Scrapper to take out the energy source that activates the remote Riggs and gypsy to fight the Kaiju. Later scrapper joins in and helps Gypsy win the fight in a creative way or whatever... these few lines are way better than what we got.Im still available hollywood.
By no means a cinematic masterpiece or landmark this film was a real pleasant shock, nothing special as I've highlighted before but was a good sequel, rejuvenating an old cast which is arguably the most major issue with the original this is clever in its use of characters and story which is fairly generic but feels alive and thrilling. Not fantastic but good for a rainy day
