IM3, Man of Steel, even the upcoming Wolverine are about a single character coming to grips with who they are and they're place in the world. IM3 was kind of boring compared to the previous two. Might have been the lack of rockin' music. PR was just wall to wall mayhem. Last night I watched Godzilla vs Mechagodilla (the 90's one). It starts off with destruction, ends with destruction, lots of battles in between. I kept wondering what MechaG would have been like if it had the same budget as PR. |

While I enjoyed Man of Steel, it absolutely wasn't. |

Agreed. |

I've seen a lot of discussion of "military tactics" and it makes me puzzled- if you're asking "why didn't they..." you might as well backtrack and throw out your suspension of disbelief regarding building giant robots too. |

[Reveal] Spoiler: Click to Expand And why spend the beginning of the movie explaining that they need two people that are as similar as possible (twins, brothers) and then pairing up two people who couldn't be more dissimilar? |

[Reveal] Spoiler: Click to Expand They said that the Jeagers simply worked better if the two pilots were close, not that they didn't work at all. That's what the fights were about. They wanted to test if the two pilots could think similarly in a combat situation. |

It's not about being similar, it's about two people who sync. Brothers, sisters, spouses, soul mates. Two people who can read each other wordlessly. Like a good comedy team. |

The Marshall knew the Austrialian hotshot like his pop and he was much easier to tell. Plus as the Marshall said he had nothing to block or fight. He embraced the drift with no care cause he knew he was gonna die no matter what. |

Suspension of disbelief is different than implausible plot holes. If you assume these people are smart enough to build giant robots, then you would expect them to be smart enough to have strategic planning sessions, along with the other issues I stated in a previous post. While entertaining, I preferred Man of Steel because it wasn't as predictable, was a new take on a well known story, and didn't have the numerous plot holes of Pacific Rim. But that's why Burger King makes it your way. |

[Reveal] Spoiler: Click to Expand I meant the two leads. I get that they fought well together, but backgrounds and compatibility were supposed to be a big deal too. And at that point in the movie, they were adversarial... romantic tension I guess. But given all the soldiers they had, and the importance, it seemed like a forced choice. |
