All I can say is, it's completely different from the first one, the mecha has become more colorful and plastic, not as bulky as the first one, and even the fights have no details, the first one will have mechas anyway Various close-ups during the battle, such as the pulley brake (I don’t know how to describe it) when the wanderer retreats, the propulsion flame when the elbow accelerates, and the second mecha has only handsome and smooth movements, more like Transformers, Very flexible, very anthropomorphic, but not what I thought of the armor. There is no close-up of the monster, and I don't even know what the monster looks like. At the end, the big monster that fit together was killed by the mecha that fell from the sky...? Are you sure you're not kidding me? Is this reasonable? The first part was a nuclear bomb explosion that killed a level-5 monster, but the second part directly killed a combined monster that was more powerful than a level-5 monster?
In terms of plot, I can't complain. The first heroine just died like this. What is the message she wants to send before she dies? There is no explanation at the end of the whole film, are you sure you are not kidding me? Even if it is the third foreshadowing, there should be some hints! And just because the company is automated production, Pioneer hacked into Shaw's system? A huge global group does not have a strict audit system? In the final battle, the male protagonist brought a group of teenagers to the battlefield like this? Is there no other driver in the huge military base? It doesn't say that teenagers don't know the mecha they are driving, nor does it say that teenagers are so good that they can replace the existence of soldiers, so they directly take people to fight monsters? When will the little heroine be able to synthesize well with others?
The emotions and growth of the characters are abrupt and lack a certain degree of rationality. The death of the first female protagonist immediately makes the male protagonist take responsibility (you must know that the male protagonist of the first film took several years to recover because of the death of his brother) , the male protagonist made the little female protagonist understand after a snort. Don't be afraid of the past, the little female protagonist did nothing and reconciled with the Russian who had been quarreling and even fighting before... The male protagonist, the son of the general, has a special character. Weird, the first part didn't have him at all, so much so that I didn't resonate with me when he was talking about him and his dad in the second part.
Theme... Is there a theme for this film? The first one is about the passion of defending the earth, and the second one feels more like saying nothing.
The special effects, just this special effect, I feel that it is not as good as the first one.
As for Jing Tian's role in playing the Chinese language and embarrassingly acting as a domineering female president, I think it is inevitable, because the director (not the first one, it was changed) wanted to please the Chinese audience in the Chinese market, and Legendary Pictures was banned by Wanda. It is inevitable that there will be a lot of Chinese elements and Chinese people in the acquisition, and even foreigners will be required to speak Chinese. But to be honest, Jing Tian really made me play in it, especially when I speak Chinese.
Most of "Pacific Rim" revolves around the scene of the sea. The sea faces the monsters, the seabed fights the fifth-level monsters, and enters the deep sea to detonate the nuclear bomb... And the second part, basically does not involve much of the sea, and the final decisive battle is in the bright next to Mount Fuji. "Pacific Rim 2" probably has nothing to do with the Pacific Ocean except that the name and the story takes place in the countries surrounding the Pacific Ocean.
