Does anybody even care about this movie? I'm surprised you cared enough to make this thread because I feel like everybody's gonna forget about it in a week.

People just want to shit on Boyega

YAMEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I like Boyega just fine and think the shit he gets is undeserved (he was very good in Attack the Block and Detroit, and has been at the very least serviceable in the Star Wars films); but this just looks like boring, hackneyed retread-y garbage.

John "Look mom, I'm acting!!" Boyega

Wait, so worldwide people dont like seeing movies with ugly black leads? (A Wrinkle In Time, and this?)
And like movies with handsome or normal looking black leads? Will Smith, Chadwick, Denzel,The Rock?)
And movies where the cast is Novel in race amount like Black Panther or Fast N Furious, instead of just putting in a lead actor for SJW points?
What a fucking shock!
Black Panther did well because it is Star Wars, Lord Of The Rings for blacks.
Fast N Furious did well, because it is James Bond, Die Hard for blacks/mixed.
A Wrinkle In Time and Pacific Rim have nothing Novel going for them, they just casted an ugly black as the lead instead of an average or attractive white. That's why they bombed.
Make an actual KANGS egyptian movie with an attractive nearly all black cast and it will be huge as well.
Hollywood doesn't know how to pander correctly.
You have to go all in or not at all.

It's supposed to be a live-action mecha anime. At least, that's what the first one came off as. Now it's a live action mecha anime starring a black man.

It looks terrible why would you think it'll do well ? It's not that hard user

Okay. I don't really get what the black man angle has anything to do with anything. It just looks dull.

>Black Panther did well because it is Star Wars, Lord Of The Rings for blacks.
I didn't realise we had special needs people posting on our board, but I'm glad we have some representation for the upcoming Special Olympics.

How did Boyega convince the Chinese to let him play the protag anyway.

AWIT flopped because it was just a shitty tax writeoff movie like Tomorrowland. Even if it was an all-white cast it was still terrible.

The writer of the current Black Panther comic and award winning novelist Ta-Nehisi Coates said the exact same thing, you are the RETARDED (not special needs) one, friendo.

Black church groups filled with middle aged-elderly ladies and black campus groups aren't going to dress up and come out to see a movie just because it has a black lead. they need to see something Novel, like for instance, a sci-fi 100% black utopia that makes them feel better about their culture, than a "WOO BOI!" black lead or a "i'm a smarty too" ugly child.
How fucking deluded are you?

He produced so had influence in the movie. One of the big changes he made was making the robots move faster which is fucking retarded because the weight and inertia is one of the main visual ques that makes giant robots feel like giant robots. None of the action with the robots is compelling at all because of this.

FLOP READY
FLOOOOOPPPPP REEEADDYYYYYYY

It's like people dont want to watch watered down cgi movies with niggers unless people by billions of dollars worth of tickets for it like they did Black Panther.

nah, I'm upset because the first movie was great and this one shits all over it

>Try to make Charlie into the villain
desu I imagine he's great as a hammy villain by just slipping into an even crazier version of his character from always sunny. But how could anyone take him seriously as a bad guy?

>legendary
Dune is dead

he told them he was the reason for Star Wars being successful

This but unironically

>Gundam move smoothly
>no one complains
>Pacific Rim mecha move smoothly
>everyone starts bitching

It's time for you to just admit you're racist.

The first one didn't do all that well even with its white male lead.

it's almost like race has nothing to do with it

user you can't just make a race issue out of everything

not well in North America, but well in China where it made enough to justify a sequel.

Besides blockbuster sequels that did well in China are suppose to bring in more money, this will be lucky to bring in half.

Not all giant robots are the same, if Big O got a 3rd season and started doing cartwheels there would be just as much bitching

>Big O will never get a 3rd season
fuck you why did you use it as an example

The first time I saw the trailer, I literally heard somebody behind me whisper to their buddy "the first one was so stupid". Americans hate mecha I guess.

>Americans hate mecha I guess.
They hate anything anime related or anything that's not cynical, ironic, or self-deprecating.

Sounds more like England

Except the Gundam universe is clearly set in an age that is technologically far more advanced compared to the universe that has already been established by the first Pacific Rim movie.

That was my only reply to this thread before this one, I don't know who you think I am.

Well we are their rouge son, bound to have some similarities with all the Anglos.

>They hate anything anime related or anything that's not cynical, ironic, or self-deprecating.
This sounds nothing like America

It does. They ironically elected Trump and thought it would be fun to turn the presidential election into a fucking joke.

If Americans hated anime that much, I wouldn't think there'd be a "Little Tokyo" in Los Angeles, or a plethora of anime conventions all across the country.

yep. especially with ready player one around the corner. its basically going to destroy all competition in april

Boyega was only ever good in Attack the Block, and he somehow managed to get into a producer position on this film from where he demanded things be changed that he didn’t like about the original. Because he’s a tasteless cunt with a room-temperature IQ those just happen to be all the things that made the original somewhat interesting and distinct from the likes of Transformers.

I’ll be happy if I never see him again after Ep IX.

whats the expected revenue from africa?

>ready player one
Family Guy Cutaway: The Movie

First one did okay. It didn't have a huge fanbase. I enjoyed it, but not enough to want a second one. Shouldn't have been made.

>I wouldn't think there'd be a "Little Tokyo" in Los Angeles,
The hell does a bunch of Japanese people who formed a neighborhood have to do with anime? Who cares.
>a plethora of anime conventions all across the country
I've been to some for temp jobs, they are filled with weirdos and socially maladjusted people who don't know that it's normal to bathe every 1-2 days. Not something most people want to associate with.

>Gundam move smoothly

Yeah, because they’re in SPACE and there’s NO FUCKING GRAVITY, you brain-crippled pellet.

Dude fuck off nobody should cheer any studio other than Disney and maybe whatever Zach Snyder does bombing. It is literally a bad sign for all movies and is closer to ensuring we can never stop capeshit.

Ironically, cynically, you can't see any reason for people to vote for the dream of Trump over the reality of scumbag Republicashitheads or Hillary Clinton also scum.

We can't help becoming a soulless corporate memehusk, we can't help being fed up with it and trying meme magic. We didn't know it would fail so bad.

>turn the presidential election into a fucking joke.
Honestly if it only became a joke to you now then your clearly to young to remember Slick Willy

I don't disagree that the vast majority of congoers are smelly mouthbreathers (hell, I've seen them firsthand), but I just feel like that if anime had no market in the U.S whatsoever, then these conventions wouldn't be held in the first place. To say that Americans "hate anything anime related" sounds inaccurate.

>there’s NO FUCKING GRAVITY
based american education

This is just capeshit masked as mecha, though.

I don't really understand why you (or anybody else) is so bitter and worked up about this. Pacific Rim was fine, but forgettable, and this is just like a thousand other sequels in history that takes the original and dumbs it down.

>Hurr Trumpf da wurst durr luterally Hortler hurfff durfff

People must be underaged or have short memories if they think Trump so far has been anywhere near as bad as Dubya. Him “winning” a second term is the greatest joke in American politics.

>To say that Americans "hate anything anime related" sounds inaccurate.
Maybe there is some truth to that, but America sees animation as something for children and anime is put in that box so it doesn't really matter. Ask an American if they like anime and their gut reaction will be that it's for children or pedos or something even if they like it to avoid any social trouble.

Because we really liked the first Pacific Rim? Because some of us like giant robots and monsters and finally got to see them handled well in live-action, with no Bayformers shit or Godzilla-not-appearing-in-this-film detracting from the experience? The unique visual style? The wonderful attention to detail in production design and worldbuilding?

Theory of mind usually develops by age 11, tripfag.

>Him “winning” a second term is the greatest joke in American politics.
>implying he did
But yeah I agree Trump is just a meme to most kids and someone they have permission to be angry at and take their anger out on without losing any face. Go look up Clintons speech on immigration from the 90's and it makes Trump look like a cuck in comparison, these people have just been raised in extremely cucked political climates and don't know better.

>movie that did terrible with del toro does worse with it's sequel without del toro or the main characters of the first

YOU DONT SAY

Pacific Rim was big, dumb schlock that happened to be more grounded, realistic, and focused on details than some of its counter-parts, but by no means was it a great or engaging movie. It doesn't surprise me that a board obsessed with capeshit and Star Wars thinks this was noteworthy enough to defend 5 years after the fact.

BOYEGGS STRIKES AGAIN

>That’s what I was implying with the parentheses

Both Dubya elections had massive voting irregularities. He should never have been president. Also there’s a good chance his dad was behind the JFK assassination.

>but by no means was it a great or engaging movie

Ah, so you’re a tasteless cunt AND a tripfag. Odd how often those coincide.

>no u suck

Wait, did Black Panther bomb in China and still hit 1B?

This has been an enlightening conversation about your shit taste in film and assumed intellectual superiority that makes you feel worthy of identity on an anonymous board. Thanks for playing.

>Also there’s a good chance his dad was behind the JFK assassination.
I think LBJ was the guy behind it for the most part, Dubya might have played a role Idk

Family Guy is popular.

You just know a teenage 56%er wrote this

>believing in space at all
based american propaganda

I didn't know this movie was even a thing since I don't visit here or /m/ often, can someone give me a rundown on why its doing so badly?
The first movie was kino.

>it's OK if he does it, he's just like any other politician
THIS IS HOW HE GOT ELECTED IN THE FIRST PLACE, STOP BUYING INTO PROPAGANDA

Del Toro isn't directing.

>assumed intellectual superiority
This is usually what people who insult others instead of forming cogent arguments do. But I'm sure that doesn't have anything to do with you.

>different director
>different visual style
>cast essentially gutted and refit with new people
>gone from gritty realistic kaiju movie to glorified power rangers

>gritty realistic
>Pacific Rim
This is a joke, right?

>CAPS LOCK BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TALK TO PEOPLE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Fuck off autist your not even typing a coherent message.

>"Gritty" means "documentary"

i'm sick of this meme

trailer for sequel made it look for avg film goers aka attempt at wide audience appeal. I enjoyed the original. What I wanted was action with bots, especially the designs in the firms film.

>Cogent arguments
>Last response was “no u suck”

Can somebody explain how Universal is still a thing? It's flop after flop

I don't think the race of Bogeya factors much into why this film failed. Looking like complete cheap shit did the most damage by far

>get called out for insulting somebody while not making rational arguments
>focus on a post that hyperbolically illustrates the problem with this style of posting, thereby showing that user can not take what he dishes out

it only would have worked if del toro did it
first one was a standard plot, but he got a lot out of it
this is just transformers, but with pilots drifting

The Gundams move smoothly but still mechanical. These Pacific Rim mechs move more like a guy in a suit

>gritty means lots of collateral damage and fight scenes
It's a slick, unrealistic-looking, gutless movie.

>cogent arguments
>Sup Forums

>jurassic world
>despicable me and minions
>fast and the furious series
they and disney swing the biggest dick

Edit: I meant designs in the first film. Wanted to see Crimson dyn 2, russian mech and other nations. Cant understand how they failed at simple pandering.

>not well in North America, but well in China

It only made 10 mil more in China than the US. It wasn't some smash mega hit there either. Fuck Black Panther is only 15mil behind and you guys say it flopped hard in China

Dude, what? People were praising Kshatrya's animation in Unicorn because of that sense of weight,

He doesn't know what he's talking about. Even in Wing you only saw Mobile Suits move quickly when they were in space or flying

Why do you sound so Sup Forums? Who gives a fuck what colour skin the actors are.

I was put off by the trailer so much I thought it was another transforms movie made for China, glad to see I wasn’t wrong.

>an terrible
Now that's an source we can all rely on.

Flop it all till I DIE

>people by billions of dollars worth of tickets for it like they did Black Panther.
Still SEETHING I see

It has a big opening day in China though

>I think it's worth noting that a big-budget sci-fi flick starring John Boyega just snagged the biggest opening day of the year for a Hollywood export, just ahead of Black Panther's $22m opening day a few weeks ago. So

Pretty sure the original starred a black man too

>*INHALES harder*

Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to make sequel? The first movie barely made it back, it was almost flop. Now they made next movie but worse.

Oh you mean will Smith?
He was pretty great, shocked to see his son not thrown in as well.

Outdated image, it's already reached 1.2B.
