Pac Rim 2 is a complete pass for me. I found the first movie WAY overrated with some of the worst acting, dialogue and story logic I have seen in a long time. Pac Rim is a big expensive animated cartoon with giant robots fighting giant monsters. I found that the only entertaining part of the movie. Anytime the actors were on the screen, I just groaned how bad it was (not blaming the actors as I know they can do better and kind of reminded me of the Star Wars Prequels acting). I assume more of the same for Pac Rim2.

I probably would have enjoyed Pac Rim more if I ignored the internet hype and the Del Toro fanboys. I have to work hard to ignore all that and set my expectation really low.

Well...I guess you can look forward to the Star Wars films. Me, I'm looking forward to PACIFIC RIM 2!

Pacific Rim was one of the better cinema experiences I had the Summer it came out. Sure it was pure spectacle but if you go in expecting exactly that and not some sort of deep cerebral experience I think most would enjoy it. I'm looking forward to the sequel myself as there is lots of room to expand.

Snap, it's in the same bracket as ID4 for me, a brainless, fun ride. Although ID4 is still by far the king of this genre imo. I didn't really like JB so much in The Force Awakens, but I'm still looking forward to this..

exactly how I took it, I wasn't expecting Shakespeare just a fun ride and that's exactly what I got out of it.
