    I’m going to be honest, the number one way to get a good rating from me is to put a giant monster in your movie and have it fight other giant monsters OR a giant robot.

    My number one complaint about movies with kaiju and/or mecha, which can prevent them from getting five stars, is that there are usually too many scenes with people talking and advancing the plot, and not enough scenes of wanton destruction where the kaiju/mecha are brawling.

      That’s why Pacific Rim ranks so high in my book

      A giant robot hits a giant monster with a boat, it doesn’t get better than that!

      The best way to get a shitty review out of me is to make fight scenes and not care about what you studied in high-school kinematics.
      Stop a character mid-air without stopping time -> -1.
      It was not for quick-time dialogue event, but just randomly stopped the character in air -> -5.
