I was watching X-men the animated series the other day and the size of the sentinels fluctuated from scene to scene. This comparison between transformers and pacific rim just makes me think of how big i want the sentinels to be. Pacific rim sized please.

He's got a point about Bay's visual style. That said, I'm curious to see how Bay's Pain and Gain pans out. I can't imagine a more ill-suited directory for that property. It really needed a Gus Van Sant or Guy Ritchie, not a Michael Bay.

I like Bays "well-lit, supercool, car commercial-looking environments" alot. So what point did GDT make? Oh, and bring on Pain & Gain!

Yes, Bay. Transformers was entirely your own movie based on your own original idea. It's not like it was based on some toyline from the 80's or anything.

I swear to God, Bay is a dumbass. I hate him as both a director and a human being.

Del Toro should of made At the Mountains of madness or Hellboy 3. Why oh why go for a movie that is monsters vs robots

Pacific Rim bots over all bots of all time????

I got Voltron> Prime> Stark> even the Megazord over any Jaeger.









In the case of Optimis he is sentient life and can out maneuver and fight and user controled bot

In the case of Stark if they can make "Jaegers" then Stark can make a better version.

In the cases of Voltron and Megazord they can be broken down and team up on a single Jaeger

I know your trying to promote your movie GDT but come on... really???

You people love to hate Bay, but the guy makes some beautiful looking movies. Sure they may not be up to par with fantastic acting or delve into deep science fiction but the guy has an eye for making beauty with a camera. And to the people that don't consider movies their life love that. Its entertainment its suppose to be fun.

I love Gypsy Danger and Stryker Eureka as much as the next guy, and I'm not defending Michael Bay's terrible movies, but Optimus Prime owns everything as a matter of principle. He's defeats robots much larger than him all the time.

Never thought I'd see people comparing Bay and Del Toro. Bay DREAMS of matching anything on the level that Del Toro produces. Mr Bay, kindly take your shit Transformers, your shit TMNT reboot and anything else you have cooking, and [frick] off. Cheers.

@BboiBlack- So Bay will win because I see him for the racist, misogynistic, greedy sack of scum that he is?

I still don't understand the comparisons, and "it's like Transformers because it has robots derp" is not an excuse :P

"Well I just lost respect for this guy. Look we all know Michael Bay is a hack, but for this guy to come out and trash talk another director's work to make his work look better just is sad. Now I won't be seeing Pacific Rim this summer. I'll wait till it's on the movie channels."

Um... what are you smoking? In no way did he trash talk. The Transformers fights do happen in well lit, supercool and commercial environments. That's the way Bay likes it. All del Toro was doing was drawing a distinction between the way his film is framed tonally and Bay's Transformers.

In short, the Pacific Rim Jagers and the situations they fight are not sexy. There'll be no hot chick emerging from the smoke, mugging at the camera through artfully smudged makeup and miraculously intact clothing amidst a sea of automotive product placements on two legs. Pacific Rim is going to be a lot dirtier and a lot less pretty.

The "seeming jab" note the word "seeming" is something made up by the author of this article. It's not something you'll find in the source article. In short, there wasn't actually any jab.

So every robot that engages in some sort of CG action is a Transformers rip-off?

"The fights don't occur in well-lit, supercool, car commercial-looking environments"

he basically showed Bay a middle finger

Let's wait to determine capabilities until we see what the Jaegers can do.

i dont see this as him bashing Bay at all. He is pointing out that its a different feel and setting meant to be aimed at a more mature demographic.

at least thats how i read it

and its hardly a "rip-off" when there have been giant robot movies, animation and comics since Godzilla

Every body says its "Transformers vs. Godzilla". I don't see the Transformers, I see Gundam, or Robot Jox.

Bay can calm the fvck down. del Toro knows what he's doing. He's a visionary director, not some hack that makes two and a half hour movies about explosions for no reason.

I was never really interested in watching this, but now that I know Michael 'The Hack' Bay is complaining about 'rip-offs', I want to watch it. Michael Bay didn't create robots or action movies, he didn't even create the Transformers. All he's done is bastardized them, and knocked cinema down a peg or two.

I can immediately tell that Pacific Rim will be different than Bay's Transformers films for one simple reason - Del Torro can direct movies! Del Toro, like any director worth his salt, knows that special effects are a tool to aid in telling a story. Bay, being the talentless fool that he is, thinks the reverse: that the story is a tool to show off special effects. Dear Lord I can't stand his movies.

Fast cars. Muscles. Objectified women. Immaturity. Unnecessary explosions. Poorly written dialogue. Lack of actual plot. No subtext or depth of any kind. Maybe a racist joke or caricature if you're extra unlucky.

That describes pretty much every film Michael Bay has or ever will make.
