I’m kind of disappointing in what I’m seeing from Pacific Rim, but I’m a fan of Del Toro’s subtitled fair. I think it will make a ton of money though, it’s right up that Michael Bay alley, except Del Toro will do it better, it’ll just make me sad. Unless there’s some serious weirdness they aren’t putting in the previews.
Heh. I’m still looking forward to seeing it when it goes into general release here in Central Europe - probably in August, but maybe sooner.
Anything Michael Bay can do, Del Toro can likely do it a hundred times better. “Pan’s Labyrinth” was a brilliant film - a true fairy tale in the classic tradition of fairy tales. Scary, bittersweet, and sometimes, the good and the innocent die.
I appreciated it greatly for that; much better than the ‘Disneyfied’ fairy tales.
