2013 - PACIFIC RIM, the giant robot vs monsters film or calling Toho studios


Nice try but Del Toro didn't really get there. The film is basically an updating of one of those Toho Godzilla movies where all the monsters show up together to stomp on cities. For all the love and attention lavished on Pacific Rim by Guillermo Del Toro this film at times tends to meander with Del Toro spending a lot of time on character development to give the film a little more substance sometimes at the expense of the action.

The big issue at the time of release was that there have been three Transformers films so the giant robot movie genre has been kind of done to death. 

Running time 132 minutes. Travis Beacham and Del Toro wrote the screenplay.
