Pacific Rim - HD Trailer 2 + Commentary

Robots... check, Monsters... check, Action... check... Guillermo Del Toro's uber-creative mind... discount double check! 


(0:14) - Is that GLaDOS? Will there be a promise of cake after the credits?
(0:30) - Oh my! 30 seconds in and I only have 1 comment... this trailer is leaving me speechless. 
(0:34) Oh... they really were going fishing...
(0:45) Reminds me of Cloverfield.. that movie could have probably needed a bit of robots in it too.
(1:18) Pilots mind melding with machine... IS THIS AN EVANGELION MOVIE!!!! cause that would be awesome!
(1:47) Of course Ron Perlman is in a GDT movie
(1:57) Glad to see some multiculturalism. The movie was starting to look like those movies set in Asian cities, yet everyone is American.
(2:00) Cool beans.. A General Grievous type robot
(2:14) How is this not an Evangelion Movie?
(2:29) I think I need to watch this in IMAX 3D. July 12th

Further Comments:
The VFX look great, accompanied with the filter to make everything look not so ultra real. The robots are also not overly complicated with showing parts like in Transformers' totally unnecessary loose parts. The dialogue might be cheesy, but it's an action movie, so who are we kidding? We can at least expect better dialogue/story than Transformers. I hope it knows what it is and doesn't try to be something it is not. NO gratuitous female shots, NO blatant product placements, NO unnecessary potty humour, NO moms trying weed, NO attempts at being funny with inappropriately racist robots that really fell flat on it's own face, NO weird camera angles so that I can't see any of the action going on. Just give me robots beating up monsters, with some charm and a dash of something special and I am a happy follower. GDT, do us proud!

Play-by-Play Trailer Commentary: Man of Steel

All your doubts and questions have been answered. It is here, it is now, the newest Man of Steel Trailer. 



(0:00) Explosions galore
(0:08) What is that flying thing? Is Krypton somehow related to Pandora from Avatar?
(0:08) I wish I had Russell Crowe as my dad, only based on his voice. He seems supportive.. but what-a-sec, he's sending his only son off, maybe not a good idea.
(0:30) Did we just get through 30 seconds without dramatic singing lady ala Gladiator or the 2nd Man of Steel trailer?
(0:55) More of the same scenes from the last trailer
(1:13) Why would Superman need to hitchhike when he can run or fly anywhere he wants?
(1:25) Superman has a beard, which brings up the age-old question, how the heck does Superman shave? Wouldn't his hair be impenetrable by common steel since he is the Man of Steel?
(1:48) There are sure quite a lot of cool looking close-up scenes and angles, especially for short scenes in a trailer, but not sure how well that will translate on film.
(2:06) I'm sure mobs of people will be flocking to the theaters to watch the movie from the director of 64% rottentomato rated Watchmen... oh wait.. what's that?.. 300 got 60%..  I am now outraged because 300 was awesome. At least they played it smart and had no mention of Sucker Punch.
(2:07) Begin montage of quick cut moments which I will have to watch-pause-rewatch-pause-rewatch and still find out nothing about the movie
(2:12) First viewing of Michael Shannon as General Zod... looks evil enough... check
(2:16) Now that is pedigree worth mentioning
(2:27) Maybe it is a good idea to cast a Superman actor who is actually buff... sorry Brandon Routh but you don't make the cut.
(2:37) You see, you don't need to cast a Superman actor that looks like Christopher Reeves, they'll look just fine as Superman... sorry Brandon Routh
(2:45) Yup looks like an 'S' to me
(2:48) Everything wrong with "Superman Returns" solved with one punch... heck yeah! (in reference to the lack of punches thrown in "Superman Returns". I'm pretty sure that just this trailer alone has more punches than the entirety of "Superman Returns. Yes I like to see punches.)
(2:51) Still looks like an 'S'
(2:56) June 14? See you there!
