There's nothing particularly wrong with Pacific Rim. It's a solid creature feature that was buried beneath the weight of the hype generated by its epic trailers.

Guillermo Del Toro promised us a Goliath new IP in a world of sequels and reboots - giant monsters versus screen-filling robots? Who wasn't sold there and then?

When Pacific Rim finally arrived, people complained it wasn't the earth-shatteringly original experience it was hyped up to be, but it was a good movie with an unabashed sense of fun and some neat special effects.

Sure, there's things were prioritised over characterisation, but there's a place in Hollywood for Kaijus and Jaegers kicking the snot out of each other.
