There's a reason for that since a lot of those shows were dubbed into Spanish in the 60's-80's and they were pretty popular.brunoafh wrote:I find it funny that currently the best live action mecha movie came out of Hollywood and was done by a Mexican guy.

. I would post up the trailer but it would completely ruin the movie 
. They literally spoil 80% of the good parts in the trailer .I have completely given up trying to figure out the chronology of those movies. First, we had three movies and a prequel. All well and good, right? Well then, they had to mess it up by making X-Men: First Class. FC is a great movie, to be sure, but it cannot possibly be in the same universe/timeline as the others as there's a buttload of inconsistencies, and not minor ones, either*. Then they did The Wolverine, which supposedly takes place after The Last Stand. Okay, fine. But now, they're gonna do Days Of Future Past (which should be amazing if they do it right) and who the hell knows where that's gonna fit in. I give up.

Well, if it follows the comic, Days of the Future Past takes place in the Future, and then they travel back into the present at some point.Retrodude wrote:I have completely given up trying to figure out the chronology of those movies.

*Inconsistencies are more forgivable in a comic book that's been going for fifty years, but I expect more from a film series.
Yeah I wouldn't say anyone would have to be into that stuff to enjoy it. But I've seen complaints about characters and plot being "stupid"/not good, not fleshed out, etc. But I have to question the person that goes into that movie for anything but over the top action unless they know nothing about it or something.dsheinem wrote:I'm not a big "mech guy" or "monster film guy", though I've seen my share of each. That said, surprisingly I'm in the same camp as you guys = I loved the film.
Now that you mention... I'm surprised I didn't think of that myself. I think he struck the perfect balance. There was enough there to gather that the people behind it were clearly working with the genre, but it wasn't overwhelming and didn't get in the way.Gunstar Green wrote:There's a reason for that since a lot of those shows were dubbed into Spanish in the 60's-80's and they were pretty popular.
Not much chance of that, unfortunately. After Earth is perceived as a flop because it only made 30 million in its opening weekend (which is stupid as that's a perfectly respectable opening for most films). It doesn't matter that it ultimately made 214 million on a budget of 130, people see it as a flop and in this business, once you get that label, you can't shake it. It's incredibly idiotic, but that's the way it is.Mendoza wrote:You can really tell that it was a labor of love. Here's hoping it can have some legs at the box office and shake off the flop label.

Fixed!Retrodude wrote: Not much chance of that, unfortunately. After Earth is perceived as a flop because it was a terrible, stupid, awful garbage movie that one person liked.
Pacific Rim definitely seems destined for the cult classic label.Retrodude wrote:Not much chance of that, unfortunately.
