    I really hope this movie is awesome. I'll just be sad if it turns out to suck.

    Del Toro and monsters are usually a shoe-in. Will see opening day.

    I was more excited until I saw how much it will focus on big rock-em, sock-em robots.

    But I'm still looking forward to it. If anyone can make robots work, it might be del Toro.

    I mean....what were you expecting?

    The whole premise of the movie was based on the big rock-em, sock-em robots....

    Well, the earliest reports were just about a Pacific themed monster movie, and there is plenty of ground there without robots. But whatever.

    I suppose that's true. I'd give Del Toro the benefit of the doubt though. Dude is good with stuff like this.

    Yeah, I'm excited to see it, especially on a huge screen. The palette looks very, very dark, which is perfect.

    Dude, Australia having the strongest robot is bull**** -- the US robot should kick the most ass -- Australia is basically the 51st state. Where is all that new tech coming from -- Crocodile Dundee?

    I saw the details on the internet -- as you would expect it was sickening.

    Only from the Australian robot though because he's allegedly the most powerful.
