Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim!!!

[jye4ever]

We only got Hellboy 2 because the DVD sales for Hellboy were very good. It was not very successful in theaters prior to that.

Both bombed.

HB2 really bad.

Who is a Starship Trooper (1) fan?

Oh yeah......

 

[Master Wayne]

I blame the studios. They opened Hellboy against Spider-Man 2 and Hellboy 2 against The Dark Knight. Seriously?

 

[Adolfo]

Both bombed.

HB2 really bad.

I loved them both

Forget Pacific Rim. Check out ... Atlantic Rim.

Good grief that looks terrible.

You know Sony ended up dropping Hellboy, and Universal picked it up right?

I think part of the problem has been the marketing strategy, and the trailers. The trailers in particular don't do a good enough job of selling the real draw: giant monsters vs giant robots. It's there, yes, but they spend too much time in the trailers on the human stuff... which I know will be fine in the actual film, but in the trailers plays like a huge cheese fest (Idris Elba's rally speech is absolutely painful in the trailers). There is no relatable context. They should have gone a different route.

Also, in a trailer don't point out that the robots are controlled by two pilots connected via telepathic sync without explaining WHY. Otherwise, it comes across to people as a weird, goofy, contrived element.

This movie is gonna rack up alot of collatoral damage and death rates

I loved them both

Both were good movies. HB2 was one of the greats imo.

Really? Most people are complaining that it looks too much about robot/monster mindless mayhem and no human characters...

Do people really need that in a trailer? I don't think so...
Weird? maybe... contrived? a little... goofy? not really...

It's weird, but I get chills when Idris yells "we're canceling the apocalypse"

I'm looking forward to this movie as much as you are, but those trailers don't show anyone anything outside of robots punching monsters. Basicly Transformers with monsters.

GDT may be a great director in the nerd circle, but he's no Nolan or Spielberg, in terms of mass knowledge and appeal. Which is why a lot of us are nervous about this film, and if it does well.

 

[Kuzeh]

I think GDT is a much better director than Nolan... but hey... that's just me...

Comparing Nolans notoriety to Spielberg

And the general public will say "Who the **** is GDT?".

 

[Kuzeh]

Comparing Nolans notoriety to Spielberg

I know...

 

[CelticPredator]

Comparing Nolans notoriety to Spielberg

Prove me wrong. I could've said Nolan and Bay. There aren't that many publicly known directors out there. Nolan is one, Bay is one, Spielberg is one, Scorsese is one, and maybe Peter Jackson.

The rest, average Joe probably won't have a clue.

I said that line to my wife but I swapped the word apocalypse with credit card.

 

[Kuzeh]

I'm pretty sure A LOT more people know who Spielberg is vs. most of the guys you mentioned... except maybe Scorsese

 

[CelticPredator]

Add Hitchcock too
