I don't particularly expect it, but I do expect it of anything I'd call "best movie 2013".

It sounded like hyperbole to me from the start (and then he confirmed it by one of his responses to this thread) Yes, his poll, then should have included some more realistic choices (so people weren't forced between the one extreme or the other), but oh well. | |

I watch movies expecting those things. I don't think it's asking too much. When I don't see it, I'm disappointed regardless of the genre. However, you do have a point. It never happens, and nobody expected Pacific Rim to be any more than a mindless giant robot battle. That being all it is, it was at least entertaining. | |
It's actually the opposite of what an imaginitive person would like IMO...

I didn't choose to see this movie hoping it would have a good story, or characters. I paid to see that movie on many occasions so I could watch some giant mechs kill monsters, and giant monsters destroy mechs and kill people.
And I got what I paid for. | |
But I see a trend in this thread that I'm confused by...

Obviously, you're failing to see the point of big, flashy, dripping-with-CG action films...
