PACIFIC RIM UPRISING MOVIE REVIEW - Double Toasted

[@GregoryKerrick]

"He's about to talk himself into a f$#@ you!" 😂Hilarious and insightful, as usual!

[@jmjon9]

I knew this crap was going to happen the second Del Toro left

[@sherwinlui5758]

Mecha genre can have great stories. Gundam, Code Geass, Macross, Neon Genesis Evangelion Etc. (They can be way deeper than what Hollywood does with them) It is just that Hollywood haven't treated the genre with respect because of Transformers. Most of Hollywood producer think that anything with giant robots are dumb B movie action title. Until someone put depth and complex stories into these movies, this genre is going be stuck with this reputation.

[@names_are_useless]

Live Action Evangelion has been in development hell for years, maybe it will come out one day ... nope :(

[@thema1998]

Sherwin Lui Pacific Rim: Uprising seems like a big budget B-movie from the way they described this movie.

[@chrisheimva4857]

That was probably my biggest gripe with the first Pacific Rim. While it is better than the Transformers movies, it's not by much. I felt it couldn't decide whether it wanted to be a Gurran Lagan-style "screw all logic let's have fun" action flick or a serious Macross-style war epic. It ended up in the that awkward middle where the action may be cool but there wasn't much else to latch on to. If story isn't going to be important, then give me plenty of action to distract me. If not, then really work on your story and characters so I'm invested. A lot of times in the greatest of mecha series it's the parts in between the battles that matter the most.

[@brucebanana4486]

Sherwin Lui, the thing with mecha comes to Hollywood is that not many demands for it.

[@sherwinlui5758]

Bruce Banana There was demand for mecha in Hollywood after Transformer became a big hit. It made money even if it was bad. Image how much it made if it was good. The problem was no one really fill in the gap with a more serious type mecha series. We won't know if the masses would like a more serious type mecha show if the reputation of mecha was not hinder by Transformers.

[@SpazmaticCrackAddict]

The Stankonia Black Panther shirt Corey is wearing is dope.

[@mimah1015]

Wait his name is Corey too?? What are the odds.😂😂

[@twintalk2943]

i was about to take a nap before work... but now i gotta roll a joint and watch DT...best review show on youtube

[@Drownedinblood]

The Chinese is there to pander to the Chinese, but that's because a Chinese company is behind this film too. At least the Chinese characters got more prescence than they did in Iron man 3, Transformers, or even the first Pacific Rim. This movie is a sham though, it is a testement to not understanding the first movie and thinking it was just giant robots fighting giant monsters, and no nuance or detail added in.

[@IronCardinal181]

WTF is a “high” Some ol bullshit?? Come on Martin.😂😂

[@byronvisiado09]

Iron Cardinal Lol

[@brennanwn]

I know ?

[@Anthonycheesman33]

I'm confused if a high some ol bullshit is worse then just a regular some ol bullshit

[@IronCardinal181]

anthony cheesman I saw it, I give it a extreme moderate medium high to the 10th power squared Rental🤣🤣

[@TheAccursedHunter01]

10:35 - 10:50 Looks like someone on the film crew played Sonic Adventure 1. "Don't worry Sonic, we evacuated ALL of Central City before it got annihilated by the Water God Chaos." 15:01 - 15:38 Corey watched Robotech as a kid?! I have even more respect for you, awesome!

[@VonTheStampede]

martin was about to get it a rentel but damn what a twist

[@rowiequierez5920]

I Miss Girts.... I miss his grumpy-old man review style... T^T

[@Spawnwick_Boseman82820]

Rory Quierez me too

[@emmanuelminga-exogeek2372]

Did he leave the crew ?

[@rowiequierez5920]

Emmanuel Minga he's working in advertising so he had the opportunity to gain better work, hopefully he's doing very well ^_^

[@VoyeurTheNinja]

Reviewing these kind of movies without Girtz just ain't right.

[@rowiequierez5920]

Timmy 2tone I'm just waiting for him to give this movie a "FUCK YOU" I'll miss him so...

[@griffin09]

I’m glad you at least pointed out that the direction is better than Transformers. People see giant monsters/robots and just immediately assume it’s Michael Bay material. Not that it’s necessarily all that good but at least it’s up front with how childish it is.

[@bishoptatum8737]

That Black Panther shirt though 🔥🔥🔥

[@mhaze210]

I would rather save my money and buy some DT Merch... and where did Goodwin get that badass Black Panther / Killmonger T-Shirt with the Outkast theme?

[@rydastyle9875]

Mark Hazleton dude stay on point

[@bigdogpound1253]

Answer this man, I want that shirt too. Lol

[@simsik4149]

Still waiting for a answer. That shirt is on point.

[@juzbcuz]

[@mondayjoker]

I loved the first pacific rim, but if people who have seen the movie have to ask why are they in the arctic, you know it's bad. I suppose I'll just skip it.

[@piplup2009]

movies should never end on sequel bait unless they're guaranteed to make a killing in the box office

[@001monkeylove]

1:33 to skip ad.

[@dinovucic239]

My morning instantly got better when I saw the new video is up.

[@Dynamode8]

Felt like there was more marketing than passion, compared to the last movie. I miss Del Toro.

[@BlueAmerican26]

I think movies like this needs a story but my goodness it sounds like they got it wrong. The director was a huge anime robot/Gundam fan growing up. He could learn a thing or two from those successful anime series and actually make people care about the pilots.

[@danielramsey6141]

BlueFacondor Problem is, thoses are T.V. Shows. The director should've took inspiration from Giant Monster/Giant Robot films!

[@Cinnjerm24]

And just like, I'm insta-biting Goodwin's style. I need that Black Panther Stankonia tee in my life.

[@GojiraRising]

The Most Cynical, China Bait & Unnecessary sequel possibly made. And sucks that Del Toro couldn't make his sequel but a film made by a company yes man.

[@GasmaskAvenger]

I agree that I wish we got a sequel by Del Toro, but that would mean no Shape of Water too...unless somehow it meant sacrificing the weirdly underwhelming Crimson Peak in the process. ...yeah, in a perfect world, we would've gotten a Del Toro helmed Pacific Rim: Uprising, followed by The Shape of Water.

[@TrenchMan93]

Jose Hernandez I think tf4 still wins that

[@dbzking02]

I agree with most of your points, except for the stuff about the "story getting in the way." I thought the story was simple, easy to follow, and well-paced. The story didn't get in the way because it gave context to the situation and reasons for why they're fighting. The movie didn't feel slow or dragged out in any way, and there were plenty of good fight scenes every 10 minutes or so to keep the audience entertained. This movie actually went by pretty quickly IMO.

[@Dookieman1975]

If anything the problem is the story just not being very good. Characters are worse, choreography is worse with overusing certain camera angles, just a lot of stuff so much worse. It’s basically fanfic tier. Hell the conflict feels pretty forced and sloppy because the first one ended in a way where there won’t be a sequel. All it really has is cool action. At least the first movie showed us the history between characters like the becket brothers and mako and stacker instead of just saying it like Jake and Nathan

[@WushuKnight19]

At least in that fight scene in Man of Steel, Superman was getting his ass kicked and tossed around most of the time. Zod was the one causing destruction. That part where Zod knocked Superman down on the floor was where Superman was destracted by the explosion. That along shows Superman cares more about civilians than the Yaegars did in this movie.

[@WushuKnight19]

He wasn't in the same city. She was in Gotham while he was in Metropolis. They even told you that. Plus, Superman can't keep tell who someone is by screaming. I don't want to defend BvS at all, but it was pretty obvious. "Or over Lois' heartbeat. The one he memorized" Where did you get that thought?

[@dreadknotrecord9472]

C Wilson u act like superman is a real guy. The director fucked up and would u rather have supes go in there or us finally see batman do a competent fight scene

[@stargazermoonshowers]

Did the Hulk not jump through an active office building in the avengers bumrushed his way through the office an out the other side did that not happen

[@thedefinitionisthis]

Uhhh... you see Hulk running through an active office building, with people literally running out of his way, until he jumps out of the window to grab a Chitauri ship lol.

[@isaiahgarraway5568]

Stephen Ola Hulk has never been really a straight or great hero. He tries but fails miserably and collateral damage is kind of inevitable when your a 12 foot tall angry monster with immeasurable strength

[@Onemanshowoff]

Man. I wish giant monster and robot media show people getting hurt BUT that causes an effect. Have the guy learning to pilot a robot deal with an insanely responsible task.

[@user-dr2yz8um3d]

The movie turns 5 today! More mixed reviews than the first movie I got more into this one than the last one; the human characters are far more interesting and they don't feel like a distraction next to the giant robots You're not staring at your watch waiting for the next big fight to happen The action scenes are still neat to look at with more Jaegars and Kaijus to boot There's also a clever twist in here I did not see coming tying back to the first film John Boyega is a more engaging protagonist with a lot of charm and wit The final battle is also a dream come true for action lovers who are looking for giant monsters and robots duking it out The mid credits scene paved the way open for another installment but who knows if it ever comes Director Steven S. DeKnight makes things fast paced, exciting, and simple to understand this time around A lot of stuff is bland particularly some of the writing but it's not a chore to sit through because it gets to the good stuff quick while expanding its world

[@josiahw1361]

love you guys so much

[@redsagan7188]

Mr Goodwin where did you get your t-shirt from ?

[@Spawnwick_Boseman82820]

I want that shirt Goodwin has on.

[@derrickbatts8412]

I seen the movie I’d have to disagree with 85 percents complaints they have.

[@AB-hi6ru]

Love your channel. Keep up the good work.

[@EzeICE]

Yoooo I WANT THAT T'CHALLA AND KILLMONGER OUTCAST INSPIRED SHIFT!!! Shit is fiiiiirrreeee!!!!

[@mitrooper]

This movie takes place in the DCEU universe. Destroying most of a city and thousands of people is okay...they are heroes.

[@theafroman830]

mitrooper You sure you aren't talking about X-Men? Magneto singlehandedly tore up not just one city, but different parts of the entire world, killing God knows how many people, and for what? Because he had a rough childhood and lost his wife and kid. Boo fucking hoo. And guess what? He walks away scot free. "Farewell, old friend" my fucking ass.

[@KPater-mf4je]

They're just "casualties of war", according to our government whenever some pesky school, church or hospital gets in the way of our military's peace bullets. So if our "heroes" do that in real life, I guess it's totes mcscrotes okay for galaxy's heroes to do the same!

[@Thevagrant79]

I want to watch this review but the last time I watched a Pacific Rim review with y'all I was so mad that when I came back Spill was gone

[@byronvisiado09]

Thyran Gumm lol

[@WLH3eLiTe]

HEY GOODWIN! Where did you get that wakanda 4 ever shirt?

[@captaintalon4485]

Is Pacific Rim Uprising basically a Star vehicle for John Boyega?

[@JonathanMutsinzi1998]

agreed dude wen from co lead to getting bossed around by a supporting character

[@decorumnation4340]

Funny review as usual.

[@ProjectDelta1]

This feels like a movie I will enjoy despite the mix reviews. I mean to have a film that gives you story, but have criticism for it getting in the way? I dunno I'll give it a shot. Besides I got to support lil Denzel, I'll watch it for matinee price.

[@DjPruneJuice214]

I ride with Martin 💯 percent .. just left the movies from watching Pacific Rim 2 .. this movie Suckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!! 💩 John Boyeg jokes were bad.. Korey was right with this movie being a tad bit better than Transformers thou ..Awesome channel guys 🤘🏾

[@Blackblax]

I miss Girts already, even though most of the time he seemed to shy to fully engage in the convo. Even though I like the trio interaction better, I wouldn't mind seeing Ray or Danielle in Girts's seat. I'd like to see a well-written action/drama where Idris & John play father & son, & they are actually on-screen together, interacting.

[@matthewheywood8532]

Blackton Obvious! Is he gone for good ?

[@Blackblax]

+Matthew Heywood Good question, but I'm as unaware as you are. They just mentioned it on a previous vid & didn't elaborate on it. I'm assuming Girtz might pop back up every now & then, like Ray does. I actually liked Ray, ever since he wore that Pikachu outfit for DT, & wouldn't mind him returning to the show.

[@mimah1015]

Where did he go??

[@davidhylton7528]

Love the reviews

[@cordelldavis8558]

I will say that both Pacific Rim 1 and 2 is a HELL of lot better than the Transformers movie franchise....PERIOD!!!

[@westsonrises]

These guys are hilarious. First video I've ever seen

[@mxbblife_mu]

Another meal for Black Panther 🥓🥞🍖🍗🥘🥗🍱🍜

[@Pewpewpew182]

Double toasted gonna start my commute to work awesome now.

[@Alfredo78666]

Old Kat Daddy (as most of times) MY MAN!

[@TheGlobalForce]

John Boyega is definitely like a mini version of Denzel 😂

[@kingj51316]

So people really care when action movies destroy buildings and stuff like that I didn't know that was a thing we go for that right? We don't care if it's believable right I thought the whole point is to get your mercy in escape the real world for about an hour or two

[@brennanwn]

matty It's not only biases but fake too. Shame on them 😐😔

[@29AndreG]

I take a drink everytime they complain.

[@mayuzanevideos]

Makes me wish for a movie based on the game Into The Breach. In that one, mechs fight kaiju but collateral damage is a HUGE DEAL (civilian buildings are your HP) but it’s still cool because if you can pull off a mission without anything getting damaged, it feels like a big achievement.

[@tajcee]

Poor Scott Eastwood...

[@spaceboy2095]

Yes, it was stupid but it was way better than the previous one and way better than any movie of the Transformers franchise! Mainly because John Boyega brings his charisma and because Charlie Day is not as annoying as in the first one...

[@CharlessMovieChannel]

Boyega is more of a mini Idris Elba more then Denzel.

[@JordanWindhamBenford]

The only thing i hated about this movie is that it didn't meet the expectations set by the previous film and so much time has passed since the first pacific rim that nostalgia started growing in my memory for it. Just make another one. Im on the franchise for life

[@claudiax233]

I love your channel!!

[@HalfKocked]

I'm sorry, Wakanda *ooooh* I am for reeeeal

[@Drambles77]

Amazing review. LMAO

[@alinaKANIN]

Y’all missed all the people being in the underground shelter... and that the monsters were supposedly all gone until the breach was reopened...

[@TheLuke2007]

that toastey goodness. Martin!

[@jennaywilliams1024]

I will never be able to take John boyega seriously if he says, "king Kong ain't got s.h.i.t on me!"

[@memuno6281]

It’s a high rental at best. Overall good, fun robots vs. monsters movies. This series automatically replaces anything Transformer movies coming soon. If your going to watch it, see it in 3D.

[@gundamserpent5818]

I was half expecting someone to make Mecha Kaiiju out of those skeletons or something...

[@Victor.A.]

I never watched the first one, but I'd give this a matinee. I felt like I was watching an anime come to life

[@JohnnysChingaderas]

oh sweet baby, waking up to some toasty goodness!!!!

[@EzeICE]

With that sweet Toasty Goodness all over your body!!!!

[@domodomo421]

This is a great movie. definitely worth seeing in IMAX 3D.

[@oompie815]

This is probably the first time I want to see a movie in theatres, just to see how bad it is.

[@gimmibox]

Here's the thing, if you see Jing Tian in a blockbuster film, you know it's not gonna be great. I'm not sure what background she has, because she sure didn't get these jobs purely by 'talent'.

[@danmasters8124]

They'll probably never answer this but I have to ask. I'm also a huge fan of Robotech, I was pretty jazzed to hear you mention that, so considering that these giant robot movies are not doing well in the States anymore (even Transformers profits are way down), if they released a great, faithful Robotech movie now, do you think it would tank as well?

[@damienbutler4994]

Sound like petty complaints for a movie that is supposed to be mainly about robots and monsters fighting each other. That's the draw of the movie

[@madtitan9432]

Ppl always confuse bumblebee with transformers the last night cuz there’s a Hispanic chic with robot friends in both lol

[@erikrodriguez8721]

ROBOTECH MACRASS SAGA YAAAAS!!!!!!

[@TimeMakerMan]

I hope you guys review the isle of dogs

[@maymay5600]

honestly, we've waited this long for a second one to come out, but the thing is that, i thought there weren't going to be second...

[@angusng816]

I just watched it and I pretty much had fun with it.

[@martin43427]

I really feel like Scott Eastwood's agent is purposefully lowballing him with these J-Crew-looking soldier roles 'cause he was desperately trying his best with the crap lines he was given and the thinly-dimensional character he had to play in this film.

[@RoodeMenon]

Watching Robot fights on big screen with coke and popcorn. Yes I am that guy. Any time.

[@WingsaberE3]

The action scenes were fun, so just watch the trailers. But I just want some animated tv show or comic instead of another of these

[@chrismcallister5284]

Dat Black Panther shirt tho

[@neighborhoodgaijin2617]

I don't see how Martin isn't a fan of fighting robots. I know the technology doesn't make sense for fighting, but it's a work of fiction. It's not suppose to be grounded in reality.

[@tonkaaaaa]

I don't understand the Double Toasted crews complaints about Pacific Rim: UR *(Fight Scenes)* and *(City Destruction)* it seems like a petty complaint considering this is the goal of the creators of the film.

[@keith1984rich]

Michael McClelland But lacks plot and the fun of the other one. It's a non-stop CGI feast.

[@matthewheywood8532]

It is just pointless cgi destruction which we have seen many times . At least tell a different story

[@tonkaaaaa]

Mr. Spiteful420 But, didn't you listen to the Double Toasted crew they kept saying *"The story gets in the way of the film"* they even said *"There isn't as much Robots fighting in the film as they thought, there's to much story."* which only sounds *nitpicky* to me. The complaints they have for this film are ridiculous. This is a sequel to a *Giant Robots vs Monster* movie, this isn't supposed to be *Citizen Kane.* Individuals who are going to see this movie aren't expecting to see any highbrow film, we are expecting to see HUGE Robots fight Giant Monsters, and destroying cities while doing it.

[@aku862]

Micheal has a point ya know

[@TheChadChamp]

Michael McClelland How's that a nitpick? The story of a movie is a huge factor in what helps critics decide their personal rating for a film. I understand what you're saying 100% but it's hardly nitpicking.

[@TrenchMan93]

It’s fighting itself because the writers want to do its own thing rather than be a sequel.

[@Toukon4ever]

Wasn't that bad actually. I'd watch part three when it comes out.

[@shouta1255]

The film really isn't incoherent at all. It's wafer-thin and a bit forced but all of the plot elements are stated in there and make sense. They even set it up early in the film for some of it. I mean, there's just enough of the story to make the film work. Cutting anything else out would have really made the film incoherent. It's not great but it's serviceable. I will agree with being disappointed that they didn't take the universe further because the first part of the movie looked it was going to do that. I agree with Martin's analysis of this being a season of anime condensed into a 2 hour movie. It actually lifts its plot from another anime movie, in fact. Overall though, I'd rate it higher. The characters are enjoyable enough and the story doesn't bog it down enough to be a problem. The action is great throughout I love the personality in the robots themselves. I'd say the film is a high rental-low matinee for sure. I don't understand the tangent about destruction at the start of the video though. The film doesn't really focus on it and it's mostly there so it doesn't seem weird that the city is always already evacuated and the like. There are robot series that deal with the collateral damage as part of the story very well but this film definitely is meant to be a slightly shlocky action film and wasn't going to be touching that much.

[@ArvelleWhitaker]

I didnt expect a lot. i had fun in this movie though.

[@DrVonBoogie]

How bout that Deadpool 2 trailer?

[@9TXONE]

As a huge fan of the first one and after watching the second one today, in an empty theater, I have to say: -In terms of the hype/"yeah,we gonna get them aliens bruh" type of vibe, the movie delivered (because that's what I came for fam); my man John B. was too quippy at times, but he worked as the main character. -The pilot suits looked cheap as hell. -Charlie Day almost lost me in the beginning, but at the end I understood his character. -Ivanna Sakhno/Viktoria - holla at me girl, we might have more in common than you think ;) ;) xD (she's 21, I checked, fam, we good). -"We're bringing the fight to them" end scene between John and Charlie was hella lame ("Indepedence Day:Resurgence" much?); I mean, sure, okay, you've beat the shit out of them this time, but as far as the lore goes, these alien fuckers live on a planet, full of pissed off monsters - I don't thinks that's a good idea; I don't think we have the resources. -Oh, oh, I almost forgot - the photoshopped picture of young John, Mako and Idris Elba was unintentionally hilarious xD Overall, a solid 7/10 (for me); I hope there's a third one, BUT if you don't give a f about sci-fi/robots/aliens and if you hate "Transformers" and/or "Independence Day", you're gonna find this dumb. I hope they don't go full "Transformers", if this franchise continues to exist.

[@mew10521]

I saw this movie yesterday; it was alright

[@canaws]

I didn't make it all the way through Tomb Raider, so it sounds like I should just skip this one and go see Love, Simon.

[@marikotrue3488]

Legendary (the studio behind this film) is owned by a Chinese holding company. There was a scene in this movie with certain corporate officials exiting a plane (no Kaiju no Jaeger in sight) majestically slowly, all I could think of...this film will crush in China. That being said, this was a fun movie. Only popcorn(or your concession snack of choice) is necessary, not an overly high IQ, in order to have a good time.

[@Elementa2006]

29:55 so like what Hasbro did with the MLP movie last year, take bits and pieces from the show and make a feature length episode out of it that would satisfy fans but leave casual viewers clueless?

[@LawrenceKassab]

Can someone tell me why the fuck do they still build buildings in this world. They just get all fucking destroyed anyway.
