      He was gonna do 2014, but he was busy with Pacific Rim. Here's to hoping that he'll direct one in the future, I'm a huge fan of him and Godzilla.

      I would personally want him to do a War of the Gargantuas movie, since that and Frankenstein Conquers the World were the two movies that inspired him the most to make Pacific Rim. If it starred Brad Pitt that would also be awesome since he credited War of the Gargantuas as what got him into movies.

    I'm glad that Del Toro has respect and admiration for the King of Monsters! After all, Godzilla and his giant monster battles against opponents like King Ghidorah, Mecha-Godzilla, and Destroyah set the foundation for epic films like PACIFIC RIM.

    While I think that Guillermo del Toro would have been one of the best choices in directing the second Godzilla movie in the MonsterVerse, not to mention that I think that he should have been involved in the first Godzilla movie with Gareth Edwards as a executive producer or co-screenwriter, I think that it would be best if he directed a remake of one of Toho's underrated 'kaiju' like Rodan or Mothra.

    Just so we are all in agreement, (because I have met a few... "Stubborn" people who do not agree with me.) I hope that you all realise that ANY amount of jaegars, 10, 40, 300. Would all perish to Godzilla for he is literally invincible weaponwise, the foes he has faced out class any jaegar or kaiju that exists or could exist. And none of the jaegars have weapons that could even phase him. His atomic breath would destroy them to their core. That goes for the kaiju as well. King of the monsters is all I have to say.

    • @austenlong1
      @austenlong1 9 років тому +2

      ***** Godzilla had Desteroyah on the retreat and the military killed him before Godzilla could, Mothra would rip the Jeagers apart, Angirus would bulldoze them, Titanosaurus would scream and create a soundwave that would kill the pilots, Jeagers would get wrecked by 90% of the kaijuverse

    Allow me to offer a counterpoint.
    In the video, Del Toro says he loves monsters and monster movies. Obviously, considering Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth, and most of his films.
    Pacific Rim was Del Toro's love letter to monster films and their directors. Sometimes, we just want to have fun at the cinema, and Pacific Rim did just that. It's a monster film, not some deep Oscar winner. Did you walk into Pacific Rim expecting riveting dialogue and a heartwarming story? No, you went in to see monsters.

    wait wait wait. How is Pacific Rim a "homage" to anime of the late 70s/early 80s. That was the era when Giant Robot animes begin to change hell Mobile Suit Gundam the first Real Robot series came out in 1979. Now the Late 60s to the mid 70s. And don't tell me the Robots in Pacific Rim are Real Robots because because there far too big, they work on your mental state, there fighting aliens not a war zone, the science isn't a focus point & the design are more getter robo then gundam.

    Lazy??? Have you seen the visuals? It's anything but lazy! Del Toro painstakingly made every effort to make sure this would be a fitting homage to the late-70s/early-80s anime flicks. You can criticize the acting or the way it was directed; but, you don't have the right to say it was lazy work.
