Review: Pacific Rim

If I told you this film features 2 hours of giant robots and sea monsters hitting each other with a dodgy actor in the lead role, you'd probably think it was the SyFy Channel's follow up to Sharknado - but instead this is a blockbuster from Guillermo del Toro.

The Del Toro touch means Pacific Rim is stunning too look at and the Kaiju battles are impressive at first, but at over 2 hours long they do start to drag after at bit. Things might be helped if the wooden Charlie Hunnan wasn't the centre of the story so much, as much like After Earth (A film so bad it put me off blogging for 6 months), I found myself wishing it was the lead character that was killed early on, not poor Mike from Homeland.
