Hey! This is an okay movie!

Strap in, though, because it only goes downhill from here...that being said, it's a cool "giant robots interacting with humans but also fighting other giant robots" movie. It was pretty much exactly what I came for. Personally I only have three major gripes with the movie: Optimus Prime's characterization, humor, and lens flares. The uh...the lens flares burned my eyes. Seeing one of those in the middle of a fight between two giant robots just...overloaded my brain sensors. The joke about Bumblebee pissing on Agent Simmons? Could have gone my whole life without seeing that.

Optimus Prime would not leave Bumblebee in the clutches of a probably evil organization. He would not. That is all I have to say for his character.

If you've never watched the original Pacific Rim, this might be a fun movie for you.

If you have, however...then there's a good chance you'll either be indifferent or angry.

Warning: I have only watched this movie once. Take my words with a good sized pile of salt.

Pacific Rim was an amazing movie that had great special effects, characters, and story. This? What is this??? I'll tell you what it is: a cheap carbon copy, made to make some extra money off of the original movie's success.

Pacific Rim is a movie that didn't necessarily need a sequel. I won't spoil the movie, but what you need to know is that EVERYTHING WAS WRAPPED UP IN THE END. Of course, this doesn't mean that a sequel is impossible-but this movie nearly makes my statement void and null.

First off, I forgot this movie even existed for a hot minute. I saw Pacific Rim on Tubi and was like "wait a minute, isn't there a second one?" Yes. Unfortunately, there is.

Second off, in addition to forgetting about the movie, I can't remember any of the characters except for the main character, the little girl, and Mako Mori.

Mako? Dies in the first like, ten minutes of the movie. What the heck?

Main character?... I don't actually remember him much. Which is not a good thing.

Little girl? I liked her. I liked her a lot. I loved the fact that she actually made her own jaeger. I thought that was really cool--oh wait the main character ruined her. Never mind.

I did like that scene where the girl's jaeger was being chased by a much, MUCH bigger one, but that's one of the only scene I can remember. This is not good for a giant monster movie.

Liked the first one much better.

My dad is a great lover of sci-fi films, and he loves this movie very much. He really wanted to show this to me and my little brother, but we were both too scared by the entry scene to watch the rest of the movie.

But when we finally did, I think it was one of the best movies I've ever watched.

The animation is amazing. It's a really good blend of 3D and 2D, and the robot feels lifelike. The characters are really well thought out, and when the ending came, I cried. I cried a lot.

This movie has a very important message about guns and gun violence. You don't have to be the gun. Even if you were seemingly made to be the gun, you don't have to. You get to choose who you want to be.

Hearing the giant say "Superman..." at the end hit me right in the feels. Amazing. 10/10, go watch it.

Man, heading that there was gonna be a Sonic 2 with Tails in it was cool enough. But when I saw the trailers and saw KNUCKLES?! I could not believe that one of my favorite Sonic characters was gonna be in this movie. I thought it was just Tails!

This movie is one of the first pieces of Sonic media that I've seen get Knuckles so...RIGHT. He's not dumb, alright? He's just...out of touch. Out of his element. He's not DUMB for trusting Eggman, he's NAIVE. He falls into the trap of thinking that he CAN'T be tricked...and those people are always the people that get tricked the easiest. It was kinda sad to see him realize that Eggman was tricking him this whole time, and it was even sadder when I realized that he'd not only considered Eggman a partner...he'd considered him a FRIEND.

Jokes were good, other characters were good, yada yada--OH WAIT IS THAT SHADOW?!

Good movie. I can't wait until 2024 for the third one to come out.

(props if you get the reference in the title) I am not this old. I was not born when this came out, nor was I born when it finished. I was not born when the movie came out, even.

...I love this show. It's a really good one. Even though it has it's downs, like all shows (I'm looking at YOU, B. O. T), it's mostly ups. It's pretty funny and cool, and the animation errors sometimes make it even funnier. (See:FIRRIB on TFwiki.) The characters are kinda basic, but this was a period in time when it was all kinda basic, yeah? (Correct me if I'm wrong about that, once again I wasn't born in that era) It isn't that great to start, what with the low budget they had at first, but it gets BETTER. Bro, the idea of a giant transforming robot city? Sign me up! Transforming dinosaurs? Bet! Literally being able to combine giant robots to make larger robot that kinda has its own personality? OH MY GOODNESS, YES.

I love it. Go watch it. In fact, it's on my list on this website of giant robots.

Jeez, all of you really hate this show, don't you?

Personally I find almost nothing wrong with it. It's a kids show. Sure, it ain't to the level of Rescue Bots (although I highly doubt that ANYTHING can top that), but it's pretty fun. Some of the motivations feel a little forced, especially when the same character was seemingly fine a couple minutes ago.

I like good guy Megatron. Even though he's a good guy, you can still rather clearly see that it's definitely MEGATRON. I saw one review in here that says that we never find out WHY Megatron switched sides. First off, it's only the first season. We'll probably get a proper explanation later. Plus, I can see why he'd switch sides. All he wanted originally was for everyone to be treated equally, and he has some conflicting feelings about working with GHOST because of this. He feels...normal, and that's okay.

The female Bot's are really cool, and really well represented in this show. I like them.

Honestly, it feels like a show that has a lot of potential. It did some things right, and some things not so great.

I like this show. It's okay. Also, I fully support Wheeljack being Dad 2. I want to see more of him.

So let's start with the good (which isn't much, don't worry.) The premise isn't bad, although it's been done before. The robots are actually pretty cool, and their combined forms are also pretty cool.

Alright, now onto the bad.

First off (although this isn't necessarily a BAD thing,) it's very much obviously a Transformers rip-off.

Second off, you can see very clearly where all their money went-- the robots. The human's character models are all bland and the mouth animation isn't that great either. The voice acting is... sub-par, but that's okay for a show of this standard.

But you know what really grinds my gears?

THE WAY THEY TREAT THE ROBOTS.

I came here to see a Transformers rip-off with sentient robots. Did I get what I wanted? Yes, but only until the idea of "Titan" is revealed, and then suddenly the robots have almost no personality of their own, and now they only exist to make a new robot that makes toys.

(which i guess is the whole point, but sue me.) I have to admit that the whole arc leading up to combining Titan is kind of interesting, but only just barley.

And then came Tritan, a combination of the Tobots X, Y, and newcomer Z (who has some kind of accent that I can't quite place and it's MADDENING) therefore erasing the need for the robot's need for individual personalities at all.

In the end, I can see where they were going. And in the end, my review will amount to very little compared to the effort that went into this show. It's not a bad idea, it's just implemented not so well (I'm pretty sure) because of the budget.

Edit: One more star for trying.
