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.

Grown Ups 1 was enough suffering on my part.

Apparently America would rather watch Adam Sandler fuck around with the definition of the word "comedy", so I wouldn't expect a sequel to Pacific Rim.

Default 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...

That would be amazing on all levels!

My inner Z.O.E Fan is screaming like a school girl at a concert at the thought of something like that. Or hell another Z.O.E show/movie/game/ova. X3

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.
