Fights go bad then they get the upperhand, surprisingly we win? Nah, wont waste my money.[/quote]

You’re a grown man with a hard on for a childs movie that looks exactly like transformers crossed with godzilla.
Where is that Emperor gif.[/quote]

Derek I think Harrypotter is British not Canadian. Not unless that is the emperor gif he is asking for. Which if it is I am sorry.[/quote]
Canada is still part of the British ‘Empire’ so I think it’s appropriate.
TEAM AMERICA FUCK YEAH!

Can some of my Canadian T-Nation brothers correct me if I’m wrong? Canada is an independent country and has no ties to Britain other than they used to be a Colony? The Canadians pay homage to the crown by putting the Queen’s Bust (hehehehe) on their coins, but they pay nothing to the crown and get nothing in return. Canada has their own parliament, and British parliament can not impose laws on Canada.

I’m not Canadian… But I am American (so I know everything). I was being sarcastic… Canada is not part of the MIGHTY British Empire… But it is part of the Commonwealth of Nations.

This describes Predator, Die Hard, Aliens, and just about every great action movie from the 80’s and 90’s as well (minus landmarks getting destroyed). Yes, there is a formula. But it’s a pretty good one.
TEAM AMERICA FUCK YEAH! [/quote]
Did you seriously compare Predator and Aliens to Die Hard and pacific Rim? oh my lord seriously!
Two films involved the outright beatdown of humans (not the USA I may add) and the other was a cop in the wrong place but had a knack for pissing off German terrorists.
Die Hard humoured the overbearing gung-ho response however.
[/quote]
I didn’t compare them at a specific level, rather generalized them as action movies that have the same story arch you seem to despise and deem childish…
The main characters in Predator were CIA & US Army Specialists (AKA Americans). The main characters in Aliens sure sounded like Americans.
TEAM AMERICA FUCK YEAH![/quote]
Predator was able to kick the crap out of the US special forces and was dispatching plenty of other different nationals as it went along.
Same goes for Aliens. So no Team America did not go fuck yeah.

…and?
It is going to be awesome, I’m going to enjoy the fuck out of it, and no amount of shaming from some faceless dude on the internet is going to change that.[/quote]
Im not shaming anybody, you’re not known to me so why should I care? I just find this thread funny that grown men will keenly jizz in their pants over a film that has others like it. I grew up on power rangers and this looks exactly like it when they power up the machines.

Win or lose, TEAM AMERICA IS ALWAYS FUCK YEAH.
You just agreed with my argument that the good guys got their ass kicked but ended up winning int the end.
Who’s jizzing on themselves? Just looks like a good, albeit unrealistic, summer blockbuster.
I expect Pacific Rim will be good, as I like the director, but I also don’t like whenever a movie gets too dumb and people defend it saying “Dude! It’s a fucking movie…Don’t think too much and enjoy it.”
I mean I’m not some guy that watches goddamned French art films for fuck’s sake but if you just have stuff blow up for 45 minutes like I’m watching another guy play a video game then that movie failed at being entertaining in any way other than being phantasmagorical.

GO GO POWER RANGERS! No long team America.[/quote]
I’m a grown man who likes animated movies by Pixar that are directed towards kids. Guess that makes me not cool in your book.

I agree. Iron Man 3, for example, was terrible.[/quote]
Oh man I liked Iron Man 3.
For me Man Of Steel is a perfect example…in many movies you’d wonder “How can anyone defeat this Zod character and how will they do it?”
Turns out the answer was indeed like a video game…punch and punch and punch and combo punch and kick kick left arrow left arrow up arrow up arrow etc.
