I went to it because it was a del toro movie. It can't be helped that I'd be disappointed after hearing the hype around other elements.
Besides, I don't have to give a crap about minorities to be disappointed in the lack of character development.

And the idea that a giant robot/monster movie isn't supposed appeal to non white/non Americans/non male is absurd when the movie is an homage to JAPANESE genres and touts a Japanese female protagonist.

Look, I still think it attempted to live up to a higher standard than say... Transformers. But I don't think it really hit the mark. To be honest it didn't feel like a monster movie or a giant robot movie. It felt like independence day. I think if he had narrowed the focus down to a few of the pilots instead of the whole ensemble cast that might have helped.

Eh, I thought "The Curse of the Black Pearl" was okay on its own.

Yes but no. This is Simon Pegg time, no room for no Johnny Depps.

My brothers and a couple friends marathoned the entire Blood & Cornetto Trilogy.
Totally worth it.
I'm not sure which I would rate best, particularly since I've only seen Hot Fuzz and World's End once, and those movies are full of rewatch bonuses.

I've yet to figure that out myself for that exact same reason. That and The World's End is just so different from the other two, it took me a bit of time to get adjusted to that.

The fights though, awwww they're off the fucking chain

My friend might be letting me borrow Jurassic Park so I can stop being a pathetic human being and actually see this movie.

It's one of my favorite movies, but don't expect too much, just watch it for the dinosaurs and famous lines you've probably heard a dozen times before, y'hear?

Two hours of "oh god why" that feels like four hours of "oh god why".
They promise you comedy.
Oh, there are laughs for the first, say, twenty minutes. But then it just turns into gruesome, bad-guys-do-bad-shit stuff.

I wish to unwatch it.

Soooooooo, too much Pain, not enough Gain?
The A in this case stands for Armageddon. As in, Armageddon a boner because this plane has a fucking HOWITZER sticking out of it.

There's a new Scorsese film coming out with Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Tommy Lee Jones about a mob family in witness protection. I try not to let trailers get to me but a Gorillaz song plays during the commercial and I'm hooked already.

Careful with your hype, it's just produced by Scorsese. Though I haven't seen a trailer yet, I don't know how it looks.
