stg83: Thanks again for the giveaway Coelocanth do you plan to keep this going till your next birthday then ;). I am curious to know that out of the two movies which one did you prefer, granted ofcourse if you liked them?
I guess I'd go with Pacific Rim. Much better than I expected, Funny thing, I was thinking while watching it that it's a better Godzilla movie than the latest couple of Godzillas. Heh.

The Transformers movie was a worth seeing as well, IMO. I know the 'in' thing right now is to hate all things Michael Bay, but if you go into this movie looking for action and big spectacle, you won't be disappointed.

stg83: Not in for the giveaway but I certainly like the discussion about favorite robots so I will put forth my favorite which is The Iron Giant from the 1999 animated movie by Brad Bird. If you haven't seen it then I highly recommend it as it is still one of my absolute favorites and I sure hope they release it on Bluray. :)
Yeah, great movie, and my girls absolutely love it too.

Okay, getting back to the giveaway:

Thanks for the reply Coelocanth, I actually agree with you that Pacific Rim had more spectacular monster fights then the recent Godzilla reboot. The reason I asked was that the Transformers movies although fun for some are just like an amusement park ride where the thrill is gone once you walk out of the theater but the movie still made like over a 100 million dollars opening weekend and is the number one movie in America. I don't understand why people don't swarm to watch more smart summer movie fare like the upcoming Dawn of the Planet of the Apes instead of just going for mindless pop corn flicks. People flock to watch them every year and probably that is why they keep making them because anything original or risky when occasionally successful is considered to be a fluke by Hollywood like Inception or Gravity for example.

Anyway on topic, thanks again for the giveaway Coelocanth and congrats to the hummer010. :)

Okay, trying again, as the forum didn't seem to want to post my last reply:

I think many people don't want anything challenging when they look for entertainment in the theater. I believe most people are truly looking for mindless action/fun. And the Transformers movie delivers in spades.

Interesting you mention the new Planet of the Apes movie. Only about 5 minutes ago I asked the kids if they want to go see it tomorrow. I'm fairly stoked for this one, as it looks pretty darned good.

Coelocanth:
I certainly understand what you mean but why can't we have both in a summer movie i.e. good character development/story as well as spectacular action set pieces. To me it feels like a lot of people just settle for mediocrity instead of something both thought provoking and fun. It is exactly the reason why I have no desire to see Transformers but am eagerly anticipating the new Apes film because the first movie genuinely surprised me, as I wasn't really expecting much from it other then a mindless cash grab off an old well known franchise.

But surprisingly the movie had everything I want from a good film i.e. great character work/story and some great action beats all combined to provide a fantastic experience. Also another good example of a Summer movie done right is X-Men: Days of Future Past which I thought was the best of the franchise so far. :)
