Ranking March 2018's Movies From Worst To Best

17. Pacific Rim: Uprising

Pacific Rim Uprising
Universal Pictures

RottenTomatoes Score: 45% (5.0/10)

Box Office: Though the blockbuster sequel is distinguished as the film that dethroned Black Panther from its five-week #1 streak at the box office, its U.S. opening was still a relatively soft $28 million, though an impressive $65 million debut in China has helped it already blow past its $150 million budget.

However, the film sank like a stone in its second weekend on release, making the prospect of a sequel far more dubious.

Verdict: A woefully disappointing sequel to Guillermo del Toro's 2013 B-movie, this follow-up jettisons almost all of the charm and stylistic aplomb that made the original a cult hit, making some head-scratching creative calls, ruining at least two key characters and bombarding the viewer with a mostly monotonous array of washed-out action sequences.
