    I didn't want to hurt the feelings of any person involved in this movie but I'm brutally honest about it. I think is good that an Industry with so much money is interested in this kind of projects but I've to be honest with myself and the truth is that I hate those designs. The military and realistic look isn't necessary equal to ugly and bland, the designs in Gasaraki and Flag are two good examples of utilitarian robots that look good(they were inspired by American Military actually), the artist behind Ghost in the shell like those kind of designs too (the Spider Tank in the first movie is gorgeous and totally plausible). Kawamori was the master mind behind Optimus Prime, he worked for Takara Tomy in the toy brand before the animated series and was involved in G1 with other talented designers like Shinji Aramaki. For me Kawamori is a genius and IMO his designs are timeless.

    The more I see it the least a like it, what a f.......ing waste of an excellent premise. I can't believe how people could like these designs, they are so bland and boring looking, even the designs of the robots in a super robot anime have strong silhouettes and are iconic looking (Mazinger, Grendizer). I don't know what happen to Hollywood artists but robots are not their forte definitely, They ruined Kawamori's work in Bayformers, just imaging Macross and Evangelion in the hands of the talent-less hacks in Hollywood give me nightmares.

    I'm sorry but this looks terrible, very cartoon network in style and not cool at all. On top of that they have the typical smart-ass lead wanting to kick ass and the corny motivational speech before the big fight , Hollywood seems like a black hole of talent.

    I'm disappointed with the designs, they look horrible in my opinion. I know that expecting good looking mecha designs from Hollywood is kind of stupid but these guys have enough money to hire the best artists in the world and the results are underwhelming at best. They were so bad in Avatar that I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw them for the first time, those military mecha looked like garbage. That kind of stuff was done much better in an anime like Gasaraki. Raiden (robust, utilitarian looking and sexy as hell) (Cockpit is sexy too) Pacific Rim designs are boring, they don't look cool at all. The alien suit that appears in District 9 is the only good design that I can think of right now, that design looks like it was inspired by Junji Okubo's work and they should do more of that. Bland designs like Avatar, Matrix Revolution, Bayformers and Pacific Rim are a waste of time IMO.
