I dont often pull movies apart, but when I do they are called Pacific Rim. First 30 minutes? Not bad actually, I surprised myself by actually liking it. The rest of it? Irrelevant, stupid, and extremely poorly written. Case in point: Cargo ships are not built to support their own weight when held from one end. If you pick one up, its going to break. If you beat a godzilla monster over the head with it, its going to break, If the Godzilla monster grabs the ship and the two of you wrestle with it, its going to break. If you throw the ship down the road and it bounces around and lodges between two buildings ... its going to break. Case in point 2: If you actually are carrying a f**king sword (which is revealed later on), WHY ARE YOU USING A SHIP IN THE FIRST PLACE? Why not the sword? Case in point 3: If your fists are the size of office blocks and are made from ungodly steeltitaniummegacrete, why the **** are you picking up a shipping container to beat the monster with? Use your f**king fists. Better still, USE THE SWORD YOU ARE ABOUT TO REVEAL HALF AN HR FROM NOW. Case in point 4: Using a flare gun against something that is taller than the empire state building is not going to work. You know it, I know it, we all know it. Even the monster knows it. So why are you doing it again? Case in point 5: Helicopters carrying the robots. Really? REALLY? A few helicopters? /facepalm Case in point 6: Why did they have to get into the head separately from the head being attached to the body again? Why did the head have to drop like an out of order elevator onto the body? Why wasnt it part of the body and they just climb in? What was all that about? Case in point 7: Ron Pearlman. Really. F**KING REALLY? (a) he was nommed. (b) he was nommed. (c) he was really f**king nommed. (d) ergo he would not be alive at the end. At all. Ever. Never. Nope. Not going to happen. Stupid beyond stupid. Case in point 8: Where the heck did the scientist get all of his equipment from in the middle of the street in order to do the mind meld? Just happened to have a 6 long brain spear in his briefcase that he wasnt carrying? The dude was running for his life down the street, next minute he has a wagon load of scientific equipment with him. Case in point 9: And miraculously, when the other scientist also wants to mind meld with the alien, suddenly there are TWO HEADSETS! Oh my. Where the heck did the second set come from? Case in point 10: Did I mention that if you are capable of carrying a 100 long sword that chops through alien critters like a steak knife, you probably should use that sword all of the time!? Why did they spend half of the film getting their asses handed to them when they could have been using the sword? UGH!
