No, I was escaping the heat here and into a fun time where I could lose myself, enjoy the movie and... well, have fun.IanKennedy wrote:Yeh, well the only thing you were escaping from with this junk was a good film.Jim wrote:"Sometimes a cartoon just needs to be a cartoon... even when it is people!" Great way to put it. I always refer to that "feel" as escapism... but I might have to start using that line.
No, it was not. I've got pretty bad eyesight and could tell exactly what was going on in just about every fight scene. The characters being obvious is not a 'bad' thing either. They spoke with actions and were fully-formed when we first saw them.IanKennedy wrote:It was crap, plain and simple. You couldn't see what was going on in any of the action films and the characters where so obvious to the point of being painful. I'm beginning to think you guys will watch any old crap if it has giant robots or scenes of mass destruction in it.
You know what? Fine, you don't like it. It's not for you. Cool. But dammit this movie was for me. And I enjoyed it and dammit I am trumpeting my feelings from on high. I'm not letting anyone dampen my enthusiasm for Pacific Rim.
