At its worst, "Pacific Rim: Uprising" is better than the "Transformers" franchise at its best, but it can neither avoid an indisputable comparison to the dead in the water Michael Bay directed series, nor live up to the original's entertainment value.

I thought the first Pacific Rim was OK - I mean, it's Guillermo del Toro, so there is some merit even if it was giant robots beating on giant monsters. This sequel suffers from a lack of del Toro - also a lack on interesting characters and only a slightly interesting story. All told, this seems like a pointless endeavor - barely above a Transformers-level of a chaotic level of action and a mess of everything else. Unless you're hard up on giant robot fights, look elsewhere.

"Trololololo Lalala Oh-hahaha-ho Haha-hehe-ho Hohoho-he-ho Hahahaha-ho Lolololololo Lolololololo Lolololololo Lololo-LOL! Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" That's in the movie, by the way. I couldn't believe it. They actually played the trololo song. As if to troll film lovers for expecting quality.

DeKnight's followup to the 2013 cult favorite 'Pacific Rim' is a frantically paced but shallow sequel. The cast is okay but the stakes seem less important than in the original film. The visual effects are competent but lack the polish and grandeur of Guillermo Del Toro's signature style.
