Man, my favorite movie just can't catch a break. First it gets a godawful sequel that effectively killed the franchise at the box office, and now its corpse gets puppeteered for a Netflix animated series that I just finished bingewatching and honestly, it desecrates the original even harder than Pacific Rim: Uprising ever did.

So was it any good and you just hated the changes or was it just so bad it shamed the original

It wasn't great, but it plays incredibly fast and loose with the original canon and it completely jumps the shark in the final episode.

It needs Del Torro back, while the first movie is not a masterpiece but I appreciate stuff it tried to do. The sequel basically tried to be a Bayformer movie and I hated it. This animated series looks interesting, but the premise feels like it's been done before millions of times before.

Sequel was worse than bad. It ruined the story set up by the first one

The male main character from the first movie was not even around. And they killed off the female main character. All I wanted in Pacific Rim 2 was more of those 2

That said, I will give it credit for not being nearly as "kiddy" as I expected. It actually gets pretty fucking dark at times.

I think the sequel tried to be a live action anime. C'mon, teenagers piloting mecha with the military superiors all in their 20's?

Well I mean in terms of the way it was filmed, tone, and forced humors... but yeah now you mention it like that, I can see it like that.

I have the original Pacific Rim saved on my tv and Ive never seen it. I like Kaiju movies, so this should be worth checking out.

You say the second Pacific Rim is not worth it? How about Atlantic Rim? If theyre all free, I may watch them all because Ive never seen any of them.

The second Pacific Rim is basically a glorified Michael Bay Transformers movie. And Atlantic Rim is straight-up one of those cheap parody movies.

Atlantic Rim was the Asaylum knock off that came out when PR came out

I remember going to see Pacific Rim in IMAX 3D three times and loving it every time.

The sequel was so forgettable.

Hell yeah, man. Watching Pacific Rim in IMAX was amazing. Went to see it in theaters 14 times. Dragged everyone I could find to watch it with me.

Pacific RIm did such a good job of making it seem that the kaiju and jaegers were huge, gave them a sense of scale and weight

That's really strange that del Toro has zero to do with the show. He's been working with Netflix on his Tales of Arcadia shows for about six years now.

And he at least produced the sequel to Pacific Rim.

It reminds me so much of the first Tremors movie. It knows what it is, embraces it, and doesn't try to make it anything more than what it is.
