But how many sequels does it take until we get to Zone of the Enders level of hype?
I do agree with Matt and Woolie of the Best Friends that this is a critical part of convincing the movie-making world that Mechs and Kaiju are something that we'll love when done even remotely well. Also Pacific Rim is great and if you went to see Grown Ups 2 first then you are a terrible person. |

I didn't bother with 3D, but it still looked nice.
mediocre dialogue and dubious plot, cliche romance and character development, GLaDOS not killing anyone
vs. great effects and design, being honest about being a giant robot vs. monster lovefest, Charlie, GLaDOS voicing computers, and Ron Pearlman I'd say it's a win, overall.

America has no excuse. They all saw the first one and what it was like.
This is like when they reelected George W. Bush all over again. |

All is not lost yet... the movie could pick up on week 2, as long as people talk about it now...

Don't blame me, I was there midnight on Thursday.
Chances all I'll be back there this weekend as well.

Worldwide, Pacific Rim brought in a whopping $91M
Meanwhile Grown Ups 2 is sitting at $44M worldwide Feel free to thank your deity/mecha/kaiju of choice that non-American movie-goers have good taste.
