Pacific Rim, such a great fun mechs vs monsters movie that had a gritty feeling to it. Not over the top fantastical bullshit with flips or garish colors, just solid, slow, huge mechs fighting solid, slowish, sea monsters.
It's like they took everything in the original that made it work and threw it out.
For people wondering how much impact a film director makes, this is a prime example.
I point to those two movies to illustrate a great director as opposed to an average one.
Pacific Rim is a brilliant film that pays homage to multiple films and genres.
Pacific Rim: Uprising is a terrible film that completely missed the point of the first movie.
Sicario 1 and 2 as well except it's an example of an amazing director vs. a competent one.
At least Sicario 2 is quite watchable and has some amazing scenes. Can't say the same for Pacific Rim 2. That one's just bad and not even in a fun way. As you say, all the things that made the original work. It managed to miss all of them.

Let’s just pretend that film never released.
Beat me to it. Hahaha.
