I really liked the first one. Kind of surprised at the dislike. Much better treatment of the whole mecha/robot thing than what we usually get in America.

But maybe people dislike the genre.

Me too. Then again, I had zero expectation going in beyond awesome special effects sequences of giant robots fighting giant monsters. They could have removed all the filler/story in-between and I wouldn't have cared. My inner 12 year old came for the fight scenes and left a happy camper!

I'm fine with the genre. Pacific Rim just wasn't very good.

Can you point to something in the genre from the past 20 years that was better?

Better than bad does not equal good.

Not the point. If he's fine with the genre, there must be something in the genre better. Right?

The original comment was that people must dislike the genre if they didn't love Pacific Rim. So I interpret him saying he's fine with the genre as a comment that he doesn't dislike it. But I'm sure he can speak for himself.

And I think the original comment stands. If you dislike the best best example of a genre, how can you not dislike the genre? That's like saying I don't have a problem with eggs. I just haven't had one I liked yet.

keg in kc has done a pretty good job with the responses. I'll let his words stand for me, to this point.
