In the original, giant robots felt like a giant robots, because they took a lot of care as to how these moved. Unfortunately in the Uprising robots just felt like mechasuits worn by people.
and there is seemingly no variation in them during the fights, like in the first one you see limbs being torn off and parts flying off, but in the second its just boring
Uprising battles were mostly in the day which kinda ruins the cgi if you think about it. I remember one of the directors mentioned that the reason why the battles mostly took place in the dark in Pacific Rim was to make the jaegers look more real to avoid cgi making it look cartoony.
I literally thought that if I had the money and power that I would recon the second movie and I'd do that by making one of the characters wake up from a dream (the dream would be Pacific rim uprising)
I liked the slow sluggish fights in pacific rim when the punches felt like they carried weight and the jaeger's felt like huge robots while in pacific rim 2 they seemed to glide around with next to no weight, as if they could easily slide along.
If you make a product, would you make the future product goes slower than its prototype ? Try to think that way. What kind of idiot scientist make things harder to move than their predecessor product ?
Aldo H I’ve seen these comments so many times. Nobody is questioning that technology should get better as time goes on, but the jaegers in the second one threw realism out the window. No matter how much they improve, the laws of inertia and the materials we have on earth would not allow them to move with such agility, especially in the given amount of time between the 2 movies. Even pr 1 was a stretch, but they somehow made it seem realistic. Also, IMO, their lack of weight, along with other factors like design and lighting, just took away from the epicness of the fights.
@@AC-pw2xv PR 1 wasn't just a stretch, it was completely unrealistic. For the legs to hold up that much weight(around 7k TONS according to Warner Bros), they would have to be far larger and thicker than the top half to actually bear that weight and not break, let alone move with anything close to agility. That said, it still felt real and was fun to watch. The slowness of the punches and slowness of the recoil made it feel more real and epic. Plus the plot of 1 was WAY better than 2
@@jackfitzgerald9619 too much emphasis on reality. Guillermo's concept was to make them (Jaegers) lumbering, but in anime that is not the reality. The Japanese criticized the first one for being too slow as their mechs flow with grace.
The original Pacific rim was so good because it seem relatively realistic as if that was ever going to happen in real life , that's what it would look like . The sheer scale and all the mechanical brutish parts moving is what made the original fucking excellent. It's quite ironic in the sense of killing mako is like killing the last remaining strand to the original. Taking a massive nutty cheap shit on the original. If you got mega high and watched the new transformers and Pacific rim you would loose your mind
I'm sick of them throwing obligatory child characters into these films just because they think they have to, children don't fight in wars, too many kids not enough robots man handing monsters and vice versa
Normally an Anime tries to somehow justify endangering kids. Wether it’s an aspect of the series, a call to action, or just the culture that world is based in... Pacific Rim Uprising doesn’t really.
@@nicodemusedwards6931 And anime kids actually treat it seriously. They earn their victories. By their own struggles, not by some unspoken rule that kids must have everything handed to them.

You know what I find very interesting about this review? It's how fair it is. It's called Ruined Forever, but this review doesn't make it seem like Pacific Rim is ruined forever, it makes it feel like a miss step. You both compliment and add some great criticism to it.

There were some good ideas, like the kaiju-jaeger hybrids, Newt’s turn toward evil, the Jaegers’ weaponry, and the kaiju combining into one giganto-kaiju. Everything else, the original movie did better.

Or would you rather wait, and earn lots of money. Like they say, a rushed game is bad, but a delayed game is eventually good, it this term movies. So yeah, that guy was right. They should’ve waited for Del Toro to finish making hellboy.
When fans watch the trailer of pacific uprising : Im so hyped for this Movie i Cant Wait to watch it :D After fans watched Pacific Rim Uprising : I hate This Movie i Want my Refund >:(
One issue I had with this movie that no one (to my knowledge) has brought up, is that the cadets didn't behave like cadets of a military that pilots giant machines. I mean, personalities outside the Jaegers aside, they never struck me as kids who grew up training to be Jaeger pilots. They disobeyed orders, never attempted to discuss a strategy, it felt like it was a group of kids picked to be pilots instead of going to prison like that girl did. They just ran at the kaiju headfirst and acted surprised they got smashed into 50 buildings.
I know!!!! Ughh finally someone who understands me. Movie directors keep putting kids in movies they shouldn't be. The movie seem rather childish and doesn't have that suspense it should have like it did with the adults it also doesn't feel realistic at all. I mean why have kids fight giants monsters with million dollar robots? Seems rather unrealistic they keep ruining movies by giving kids roles
The jaegers in pacific rim actually looked and felt real and actually looks like something you'd see I real life same goes for the kaiju too and that's why I love it so much.
Pacific rim jaeger: a literal death machine that’s slow but can crack a skull in half Uprising: literally doing backflips and doing no damage to kaiju and literally defining the laws of psychic
I think the Precursors’ plan in Uprising WAS their original plan until Newt tapped into that Kaiju brain fragment. At that point, they changed their game plan, and sent two Kaiju (Otachi and Leatherback) after him before he could spill any more of their secrets. When that failed, they deployed three more Kaiju (Scunner, Raiju, and Slattern) and put them on defense.
That doesn't make sense Otachi can literally fly, and that means the precursor had the know-how to make a flying kaiju That being the case, if their objective was to get a kaiju into Mt Fuji, they could have done so in a way that rendered jaegers completely useless (nevermind the fact most kaiju go in a completely different direction rather than Japan, the first one reaches America ffs)
How to replace Pacific Rim Uprising whilst keeping some of the ideas: Can Jaegers be piloted by one person? Yes, but only for so long. After a certain period of time the mind will begin to reach its limit. After a secondary "Caution" time, the mind reaches its absolute limit and enters a "DANGER!" phase where further use of the Jaeger will start to cause irrepairable damage to the pilot's mind. Some indiscernable (varies depending on the pilot and the situation), the mind will die and both the Jaeger and its pilot will collapse. It could be good for the plot to put huge expectations onto their cadets, expectations that affect each cadet in its own way. Some welcome the challenge and push themselves further to surpass those expectations and prove their worth while others are just about shattered by them. Some cadets enjoy their time in a Jaeger, describing it as "freeing" and "empowering" while others might relate it to the myth of Atlas carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. This offers interesting character dynamics and plenty of room for character growth. Of course the movie should have at least one scene where eveything is going to shit with some classical music playing in the background. Oh yeah, and character death. Have one die early on and the movie will put this lingering fear onto the viewer by letting them know that literally any character could die at any point in any fight. The best thing for Pacific Rim is to hang onto those Neon Genesis Evangelion inspirations.
The first movie the robots felt like there own entity, like a gigantic monster fighting robot. But in pacific rim uprising, it just felt like humans inside some mechanical armour.
This is why I say I set my expectations and standards very low. High expectations almost always lead to disappointment. This way you can appreciate good stuff even more.
In my opinion the jaegers weren't even good designs they all looked generic looking comparing to a three armed jaeger or a Russian Jaeger with a weird reactor that looks like a head
Hollywood better not touch Gundam with their filthy, franchise disrespecting hands. I can almost guarantee it would end up being Dragonball: Evolution levels of bad.
Never make a movie from an anime show. Only one that was pretty good bc it had Scarlett Johansson in it, was Ghost in The Shell. I think that is what it was called, I can't remember, haven't watched it in a while
@@samuelbaker8724 Sunrise is supervising the Gundam Movie's development. They just need the Legendary to do the CGI and writing,with Sunrise mostly at the wheel i am pretty hopeful for it.
Jake: We're gonna bring the fight to you Precursors: Sure, let's just mass produce 50 mega-kaiju and wait for you to bring all 4 of your little buggers down here
Original: every jaeger has their own spot in the shatter dome with tons of people doing different things Sequel: Every jaeger gets to walk around wherever and whenever they want and they are just stored in a giant warehouse all next to each other
It was only a Cat 1. But, yeah, Finn should have chased the RABIT instead of Amara, and we'd see him fail and disappoint his father. Wouldn't even need to have Idris Ebda voice or act as Stacker Pentecost, could just use a younger stand-in. Diamnondbolt's interpretation of the scene is hilarious, though. The crappy photoshop makes it even better.
If I recall correctly it was a cat 3. It was defeated by striker eureka and the 3rd American jeager ( mk IV ) idk it's name again. I was so hoping they would show the fight because that scene with amara at the santa monica pier was right out of the Pacific rim comic. But no, sadly it didn't happen
Boisegang dude the very first Kaiju sent through the Breach was friggin enormous and each one following it was either slightly smaller or even bigger. What advantage would there be to sending in a tiny one? Edit: Just googled it and it has no category, on a wiki its labeled with "no category"
I am here from a year in the future watching you and JobbytheHong’s videos, and I gotta say, him referencing you in one of his toy review, I NEED MORE!!!!!
What I hated was the immense lack of creativity on display. The worst thing you can do when making a sequel to an alien invasion movie is to have the aliens come back. Why not go to the alien world and see what that place is like?
Also, some of the weapons were poorly used. For example: Gypsy's Gravity Sling: *only used debris as projectiles against Kaiju, instead of the actual Kaiju* The orange one's electric swords (only because I don't know it's name): *used only once, then just spin kicked several times* The one I like to call "Bulkhead's stunt double" 's spike ball: *used once, then just used the hip guns*
I thought it was a decent film. Although it felt more anime and less realistic, which might be divisive. The main character was definitely a step up, but the side characters were a bit bland. The Jaegers do lack a bit of a personality, save for Obsidian Fury which I think is a pretty cool concept and really sticks out. Newt's twist was interesting but a bit difficult to take serious considering he was comedic relief for the 1st and a bit in the 2nd. The kaiju definitely were unique, distinctive and followed Del Toro's idea of a man in a suit. Mega Kaiju was pretty cool as well. In the end, there are some plot points i would change. The kaiju blood subplot could have been fixed like a new discovery of an element that made kaiju blood reactive and then Newt sharing that information with the Precursors as a new plan or an easier resolution to destroy that earth. TL;DR, Great ideas, fix some subplots and and I'd say that this film can stand up on its own. Also, I feel like Hollywood is trying to push a live-action Gundam film with its recent appearances. In that case, *DONT* .
I don’t get why movies just destroy the city for no reason, like that girl in mini jaeger just killed 30 people going to the big mech and destroyed buildings.
I was under the assumption that they were in a jeager training program. Which is why they knew how to pilot them. I thought it was inferred that they did multiple simulations and they allowed them to pilot the jeagers. but they still didn't win and got their asses handed to them in the end.
They were in training, not done with training, so they clearly weren't adequate pilots yet. And as a teenager myself, most of us are pretty stupid and don't exactly excel under high levels of pressure
Funnily enough I was watching Uprising the other day and my dad walked in and said “you watching transformer” of which I find amusing because people have said it looks like a transformers movie.
It’s amazing that some of our favourite movies have been directed by the same director: Guillermo Del Toro. Even though my favourite one is The Shape of Water. And I would watch Power Rangers 2017 rather than Uprising. I thought it would have been a cool movie, since it some of it was filmed in Australia, but no, it’s not a cool movie. Great video nonetheless Diamond Bolt!
We don’t need a April fools vid from Bolt, his vids are good enough without. (Although it would have been nice to have top 10 hottest transformers part 2)
That's because they moved more slowly In they first movie. Every action the Jeagers took was made with intention. It had to be, slow as they were. These modern Jaegers move fast enough that they can get away with a mistake or two.
Ugly Mofo Predator O honestly Think the Real reason they feel smalle is because they move so fast and run on buildings and not like Big power houses like in the first
reasons why uprising failed 1. no weight to the robots 2. mako dies 3. movement is not slow or realistic 4. kids controlling robots 5. takes place during the day 6. completely ignore the final battle from the original
In the original, giant robots felt like a giant robots, because they took a lot of care as to how these moved. Unfortunately in the Uprising robots just felt like mechasuits worn by people.
and there is seemingly no variation in them during the fights, like in the first one you see limbs being torn off and parts flying off, but in the second its just boring

I mean why have kids fight giants monsters with million dollar robots? Seems rather unrealistic they keep ruining movies by giving kids roles
Hello Jobby's Son
Gab jobby the hong?
Yessss theeeeeen
Joooobbbbyyyyy
Did you say Guuundam?!
long trần yea lol
The jaegers in pacific rim actually looked and felt real and actually looks like something you'd see I real life same goes for the kaiju too and that's why I love it so much.
The first Pacific Rim movie felt more realistic. While the Pacific Rim Uprising felt more like a Megaman movie
Oldbonniegamer Is Obvious,Because The big inspiration for make Pacific Rim is the Gener mecha like Megaziner Z o Evangelion
The Yannikatto 2 Think they did it, to save on budget
Except even Megaman looked better than this
24 frames of nick did a video explaining why the fight scenes are realistic in the first film over the sequel
This movie is Megacrap...
Look at you, diamondbolt, all fancy with your polo shirt, go have a formal dinner!

Pacific rim jaeger: a literal death machine that’s slow but can crack a skull in half
Uprising: literally doing backflips and doing no damage to kaiju and literally defining the laws of psychic
Almost thought was a April fools joke
XxGorutoxX nope still ruined forever
Short:
Pacific Rim=Unique
Pacific Rim Uprising=more of a Downfalling, a bad story but with great CGI
Haha, I'm going to start calling it Pacific Rim Downfalling from now on, thanks
I like the original's cgi better
No
When I watch it in theater the CGI is shit though.
I like that movie 😠
Original pacific rim: serious, apocalyptic theme
Uprising: HAHA YES FUTURISTIC ROBOTS FIGHT GIANT KAIJU VERY BRIGHT COLORS POWER RANGERS GO BRRR
U like evagelion and gundam? A man of culture I see
I like Gundam
Me too!
i like evangelion
i like evangelion.
hell yeah evangalion
As an audience member, I enjoyed Uprising
As a prospective director, I could write a 300 page long book on why uprising doesn't work,
i had to google that, what is prospective director do anyway?
A prospective director is just someone who is directing their learning/career path to one day become a director
i learn new vocabulary everyday
But if the audience enjoys it.... then it works. So.....
And looking at the incredibly mixed reception Uprising got, it's safe to say that for a lot of people it didn't work.
I wish they’d make a prequel of Pacific Rim. I wanna see the old mark 1 and mark 2 jaegers in action
Yes it ehud be fun
To give Pacific Rim: Uprising credit where it's due, at least there was no Kaiju enemy scrotum.
Don't give them ideas.
If they bring back Mako to life, and have Guillermo Del Toro direct the next Pacific Rim, it will all be fine.
So pretend Uprising didn't happen - make real Pacific Rim 2.
@@apex2000 Honestly that would make me happy
Petition for remake
create a remake via time rift.....😆😆😆

Thank you for playing a cruel angels thesis at 6:13
You take that back. Atlantic Rim is awesome compared to Uprising.
El Gringo Bandito NOPE
Compared to PR: Uprising, Atlantic Rim is a masterpiece.
The CGI of atlantic rim is shit
Ender_Slend's Game
Just like Uprising.
RushOut TM no more like your face
I liked how they didn’t give Jake a love interest and had the teenager as a Brother sister relationship
Yeah, i agree
I think the Precursors’ plan in Uprising WAS their original plan until Newt tapped into that Kaiju brain fragment. At that point, they changed their game plan, and sent two Kaiju (Otachi and Leatherback) after him before he could spill any more of their secrets. When that failed, they deployed three more Kaiju (Scunner, Raiju, and Slattern) and put them on defense.
That doesn't make sense
Otachi can literally fly, and that means the precursor had the know-how to make a flying kaiju
That being the case, if their objective was to get a kaiju into Mt Fuji, they could have done so in a way that rendered jaegers completely useless (nevermind the fact most kaiju go in a completely different direction rather than Japan, the first one reaches America ffs)
how does drifting with an alien brain even tell the precursors some information you have instantly, what kind of advanced telepathy is this
The reason it’s so bad is because none of them say “why do you fire at me”
*swats you with broom* No!go on get! shoo!
*demonic hissing* why do you swat at me?
Ya boi Soundwave is this your revenge for diamond bolt constantly cheating on you?
Damn right
Pacific Rim Uprising: Characters?
ha
what's that
Kaiju genre films are notorious for having 1 dimensional characters, so your comment is redundant. Nothing new.
Vibranium Shield Lots of Giant Robot franchises have great characters though.
How to replace Pacific Rim Uprising whilst keeping some of the ideas: Can Jaegers be piloted by one person? Yes, but only for so long. After a certain period of time the mind will begin to reach its limit. After a secondary "Caution" time, the mind reaches its absolute limit and enters a "DANGER!" phase where further use of the Jaeger will start to cause irrepairable damage to the pilot's mind. Some indiscernable (varies depending on the pilot and the situation), the mind will die and both the Jaeger and its pilot will collapse. It could be good for the plot to put huge expectations onto their cadets, expectations that affect each cadet in its own way. Some welcome the challenge and push themselves further to surpass those expectations and prove their worth while others are just about shattered by them. Some cadets enjoy their time in a Jaeger, describing it as "freeing" and "empowering" while others might relate it to the myth of Atlas carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. This offers interesting character dynamics and plenty of room for character growth. Of course the movie should have at least one scene where eveything is going to shit with some classical music playing in the background. Oh yeah, and character death. Have one die early on and the movie will put this lingering fear onto the viewer by letting them know that literally any character could die at any point in any fight. The best thing for Pacific Rim is to hang onto those Neon Genesis Evangelion inspirations.
“It could’ve been worse.”
That’s a fair judgement of the film.
6:38 the best plot for Pacific rim ever
Yes
Diamondbolts fantasy and determination is amazing. He is able to make a concept art, ten minute video and custom scenes for a video for us to enjoy
The first movie the robots felt like there own entity, like a gigantic monster fighting robot.
But in pacific rim uprising, it just felt like humans inside some mechanical armour.
No one cares about the weight it is in the future so the jaegers obviously will be faster
Pacfic rim 2 dint rise up after all
Hater bandwagoning much?
F### you
@@iceezombie3454 dude be nicer you jerk
Only rose up in money
Yes it did they made uprising a better pacific rim movie
I enjoyed the kaiju drones and obsidian fury the most. They felt like they had weight and were actually dangerous.
This is why I say I set my expectations and standards very low. High expectations almost always lead to disappointment. This way you can appreciate good stuff even more.
yep, a friend and I enjoyed the film despite its flaws because our expectations weren't high, so we were pleasantly surprised.
Then this movie shouldn't be a sequel. For course it will be compared to the first
The jaeger designs are amazing and also the kaiju designs aswell but the story was quite weak compared to the first movie
JURASSIC BOB Did not expect to see you here LOL
In my opinion the jaegers weren't even good designs they all looked generic looking comparing to a three armed jaeger or a Russian Jaeger with a weird reactor that looks like a head
JURASSIC BOB I personally hated all the jaeger designs except the new gipsy and maybe the green wide one
JURASSIC BOB I thought it was too bright compared to the first film
OBSIDIAN FURY'S LOOK IS GOOD TO

Hollywood better not touch Gundam with their filthy, franchise disrespecting hands. I can almost guarantee it would end up being Dragonball: Evolution levels of bad.
We don't talk about that movie here or anywhere else
*laughs in g saviour*
Never make a movie from an anime show. Only one that was pretty good bc it had Scarlett Johansson in it, was Ghost in The Shell. I think that is what it was called, I can't remember, haven't watched it in a while
@@samuelbaker8724 Sunrise is supervising the Gundam Movie's development. They just need the Legendary to do the CGI and writing,with Sunrise mostly at the wheel i am pretty hopeful for it.
sees title this'll be funny...AND I HAVEN'T REGRETED IT!!! love ya videos DB keep up the amazing work
You NEED to watch pacific rim: the black
Jake: We're gonna bring the fight to you
Precursors: Sure, let's just mass produce 50 mega-kaiju and wait for you to bring all 4 of your little buggers down here
Gipsy danger = more GM looking but probably a gundam
Striker ureka = GM-cannon
Cherno alpha = zock
Crimson typhoon = some new-zeon experimental prototype build from scrapped zakus
Cherno alpha: Russian bias
@@ekenmkii8697I want to die
Original: every jaeger has their own spot in the shatter dome with tons of people doing different things
Sequel: Every jaeger gets to walk around wherever and whenever they want and they are just stored in a giant warehouse all next to each other
One of my favorite youtubers? And one of my my favorite movies?! No wait it’s about the sequel. Welp.
amara's family death was actually kinda hilarious
Did you notice how small that Kaiju was though? It would only be up to waist height next to a Jaeger.
It was only a Cat 1.
But, yeah, Finn should have chased the RABIT instead of Amara, and we'd see him fail and disappoint his father. Wouldn't even need to have Idris Ebda voice or act as Stacker Pentecost, could just use a younger stand-in.
Diamnondbolt's interpretation of the scene is hilarious, though. The crappy photoshop makes it even better.
If I recall correctly it was a cat 3. It was defeated by striker eureka and the 3rd American jeager ( mk IV ) idk it's name again. I was so hoping they would show the fight because that scene with amara at the santa monica pier was right out of the Pacific rim comic. But no, sadly it didn't happen
Boisegang dude the very first Kaiju sent through the Breach was friggin enormous and each one following it was either slightly smaller or even bigger. What advantage would there be to sending in a tiny one?
Edit: Just googled it and it has no category, on a wiki its labeled with "no category"
+Cor sijtsma There's a COMIC!
Make a quick video of Pacific Rim: The Black
This is funny when I got the notification for this video I was watching a video on how Pacific Rim is similar to transformers
They aren't really similar. There's more similarities between PR and anime mechas.
Australians saying "Eureka" turns me on
Oscar Hansen you should meet the eureka 7 fanbase there then
What if they say "Hoover"?
I haven't heard an Australian say hoover before
YOOREAKAH.
I am here from a year in the future watching you and JobbytheHong’s videos, and I gotta say, him referencing you in one of his toy review, I NEED MORE!!!!!
Evangelion is my favorite anime but the Eva units aren’t mechas.
Mecha don't necessarily have to be mechanical.
They are Kiryu but less of the king of the monsters
Mine too! It has good action, big robots, Christian stuff but most important:

Ruined forever on pacific rim urprising? that was quick...
He should have done Star wars instead of this.
Intimidator X I agree with you
Mari Acosta Thank you for your agreement.
Intimidator X
I agree. That would reel in more views.
What I hated was the immense lack of creativity on display. The worst thing you can do when making a sequel to an alien invasion movie is to have the aliens come back. Why not go to the alien world and see what that place is like?
Exactly! That was the same issue with Independence Day Resurgence.
Dr. Madd the aliens didn’t come back only like three but they were already on the planet
At least it wasn’t like, “Oh no! There’s another hecking hole that the Kaijus come out of now.” Atlantic Rim, Antarctic Rim, etc.
Also, some of the weapons were poorly used. For example:
Gypsy's Gravity Sling: *only used debris as projectiles against Kaiju, instead of the actual Kaiju*
The orange one's electric swords (only because I don't know it's name): *used only once, then just spin kicked several times*
The one I like to call "Bulkhead's stunt double" 's spike ball: *used once, then just used the hip guns*
They could have easily used the gravity sling to save Mako. That still makes me so mad.
I thought it was a decent film. Although it felt more anime and less realistic, which might be divisive. The main character was definitely a step up, but the side characters were a bit bland. The Jaegers do lack a bit of a personality, save for Obsidian Fury which I think is a pretty cool concept and really sticks out. Newt's twist was interesting but a bit difficult to take serious considering he was comedic relief for the 1st and a bit in the 2nd. The kaiju definitely were unique, distinctive and followed Del Toro's idea of a man in a suit. Mega Kaiju was pretty cool as well. In the end, there are some plot points i would change. The kaiju blood subplot could have been fixed like a new discovery of an element that made kaiju blood reactive and then Newt sharing that information with the Precursors as a new plan or an easier resolution to destroy that earth.
TL;DR, Great ideas, fix some subplots and and I'd say that this film can stand up on its own. Also, I feel like Hollywood is trying to push a live-action Gundam film with its recent appearances. In that case, *DONT* .
> Shows that uprising beat black panther.
EVEN *I'M* OFFENDED BY THIS.
uh yeah
Nightwing gamer black panther is trash though
+557deadpool SAY THAT AGAIN I DARE YOU I DOUBLE DARE YOU
Mind you it only beat it after 6 weeks, anyone who wanted to watch BP already saw it by then
Hell No, Black Panther Was Better.
I don’t get why movies just destroy the city for no reason, like that girl in mini jaeger just killed 30 people going to the big mech and destroyed buildings.
All right but think about it if you're in a giant super robot fighting a Kaiju it would be hard not to avoid collateral damage
I was under the assumption that they were in a jeager training program. Which is why they knew how to pilot them. I thought it was inferred that they did multiple simulations and they allowed them to pilot the jeagers. but they still didn't win and got their asses handed to them in the end.
exactly. also, they had newer and easier to use models.
They were in training, not done with training, so they clearly weren't adequate pilots yet. And as a teenager myself, most of us are pretty stupid and don't exactly excel under high levels of pressure
life pauses for diamond bolt
Funnily enough I was watching Uprising the other day and my dad walked in and said “you watching transformer” of which I find amusing because people have said it looks like a transformers movie.
It’s amazing that some of our favourite movies have been directed by the same director: Guillermo Del Toro. Even though my favourite one is The Shape of Water. And I would watch Power Rangers 2017 rather than Uprising. I thought it would have been a cool movie, since it some of it was filmed in Australia, but no, it’s not a cool movie. Great video nonetheless Diamond Bolt!
We don’t need a April fools vid from Bolt, his vids are good enough without.
(Although it would have been nice to have top 10 hottest transformers part 2)
Ha
Something cool could be a monsterverse and pacific rim cross over
Nick Fury is my favorite Pacific Rim character.
8:07 Your prayers have been heard!
Ps. This will be the second live action gundam film since the first one flopped back in 2000.
That sudden switch to "Ruined Forever" was superb XD
In my opinion, it's passable.
I don’t know why but...pacific rim is the example of a perfect film. I don’t know why but it’s...great. It’s amazing.
All is not lost. Pacific Rim: The Black is now on Netflix!
live-action Gundam? wait until you see G-Saviour.........
Vust Valeo READY PLAYER ONE MAN
Not enough gundam in that. Saw it last night and it made me think with the right director it is time..
g saviour was not handle by japan tho :/
it was canadian idk why bandai did this lol
Vust Valeo No, anything but G-saviour
NO
I like the jaeger but they look smaller than the original in pacific rim 1
I wouldn't say smaller I would say they don't carry the same weight as the first movie.
That's because they moved more slowly In they first movie. Every action the Jeagers took was made with intention. It had to be, slow as they were. These modern Jaegers move fast enough that they can get away with a mistake or two.
Ugly Mofo Predator O honestly Think the Real reason they feel smalle is because they move so fast and run on buildings and not like Big power houses like in the first
Ugly Mofo Predator nah, they're slightly taller
They are smaller, that is why people no longer feel the power of the jaeger.
Petition for a prequel to actually be thought out and made.
Put guillermo deltoro back in director chair would be a good start
DEATHSTROKE Sequel plans should've been put on hold until Del Toro finished Shape of Water
and he did
produce doesn't equal deeply involved he was only funding it
Finished watching session 1
Starts session 2 plot
"There is none."
Starts session 3
reasons why uprising failed
1. no weight to the robots
2. mako dies
3. movement is not slow or realistic
4. kids controlling robots
5. takes place during the day
6. completely ignore the final battle from the original
