I'm a huge del Toro fan (before it was cool!), and I'm really looking forward to this movie. Not sure if Kojima's "filmic assessment" bodes well for the quality of the film, though! (Side note: I like how Kojima's Twitter profile says movies are 70 percent of who he is, lol)

Zone of the Enders 3. Let's get on it, Kojima.

From one film director to another.

Kanye said it was good too but that guy is a goof who made a bad album recently.

 

[Wario64]

Wrong forum.

 

[Macho Madness]

Yeah that was the weirdest press release I've ever received.

 

[KarmaCow]

How nice that WB let him tweet that.

 

[Neiteio]

Wrong forum.

Hideo Kojima makes videogames. And here's a very videogame-y movie that's tickled his fancy. Figured his fans/critics in this forum would like to weigh in whether this is encouraging/discouraging!

Yeah, Emma Watson, too. Are they letting film critics see it alongside the celebs, or...?

 

[Discotheque]

Zone of the Enders franchise is terrible

What good mech games are out there? I've played hawken, any others?

 

[Ploid 3.0]

ZoE Next gen baby!

 

[ScraftyDevil]

My hype for this film is through the roof, so start checking the obituaries if it turns out to be bad.

Still, a man with a mind as mecha-centric as his should be trusted in regards to this sort of thing, no?

Kaiju and Mecha films existed before bideo gams. I'm assuming they're using praise from people with klout as free marketing.

Movie is tracked to bomb, WB is trying their hardest to salvage word of mouth pre-release

I'm a little apprehensive about the acting, to be honest, but we'll see. Hard to tell from the out-of-context clips whether this movie is best taken as a cheesy adventure movie/anime.

 

[~Kinggi~]

I can see how a movie like this would appeal heavily to Kojima. I really want to see it, and i hope it isnt the mega bomb they says its going to be.

 

[Success]

Zone of the Enders 3. Let's get on it, Kojima.

I did not think of this!
Before Kojima was saying that the latest ZOE lacked inspiration.
Now,heheheeheh, the inspiration is there :/

Kojima.... trusted? His whole shtick is you can't trust him, lol.

 

[Sub_Level]

How much did Microsoft pay him to say this?

 

[Neiteio]

That's true, what if this is a mind-game and Pacific Rim is really a preamble to MGS6.

 

[Courage]

Kanye also thought it's great.

 

[CorySchmitz]

Have you heard Bound 2?!

 

[captainwhat]

Both Kanye West and Kojima loved this movie.

Take that as you will.

 

[Rehynn]

I like the way you think.

 

[Donthizz#]

old, people on OT way ahead of you.

 

[Courage]

Yeezus to voice Snake?

"HURRY UP WITH MY DAMN NANOMACHINES"

 

[Kade]

Have you heard Bound 2?!

Probably the best song on the album. But one song doesn't make an album.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Del Toro has never made a great film before outside of Pan's Labyrinth. Hellboy 1-2, blade 2, Mimic and Devil's Backbone were mediocre at best

 

[ScraftyDevil]

That's true, what if this is a mind-game and Pacific Rim is really a preamble to MGS6.

It would be nuts if during the final battle in the ocean, Metal Gear RAY swims in and delivers the final blow to a Kaiju. Smash cut to METAL GEAR SOLID VI: Titans of the Pacific titlecard, then fade to credits while the sound of Kojima's laughter echoes throughout the theatre.

 

[kurahador]

Kojima making Pacific Rim kinect game??

Del Toro has never made a great film before outside of Pan's Labyrinth. Hellboy 1-2, blade 2, Mimic and Devil's Backbone were mediocre at best

Mimic is the only one mediocre, everything else are good.

Love his movies since Cronos.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Is there going to be a dating sim tie-in?

 

[EloquentM]

Probably the best song on the album. But one song doesn't make an album.

If you liked bound 2 the most yeezus wasn't an album made for you.

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

The ultimate Otaku film? OTAKU FILM?

Nope, not watching. Sorry, I love Del Toro but I have decency.

 

[Nokagi]

Both Kanye West and Kojima loved this movie.

Take that as you will.

But what does David Hayter think?

 

[solarus]

Probably the best song on the album. But one song doesn't make an album.

I love how he put it there as bait for people like you who want the old kanye lol.

 

[yencid]

 

[Courage]

Assuming you didn't like the rest of the album, then yes I agree.

It'd be even better if there's this weird chittering noise during the credits, and zealous fans slow it down 10,000X once they get the Blu-ray, revealing it's Kojima saying "Did you rike it" over and over again in a loop.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

I was sold anyway, but I'm double sold now.

 

[jon bones]

kojimas praise doesn't really do it for me but kanye's hype is the truth

 

[decoyplatypus]

Well, I can't say I have any use for Kojima's thoughts on film (based on his games and some of his previous reviews), but his enthusiasm is infectious!

 

[Kusagari]

Kanye loving Pacific Rim is one of the least surprising things ever.

 

[Neiteio]

Kojima buttering up GDT for dat Metal Gear movie.

Mmm, buttered-up del Toro.

 

[ponpo]

Is this a joke. Maybe he's married to my girl Rinko.

 

[Kade]

This is praise that means something to me.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

Never saw that.

I just went from resenting Kanye due to his army of Stans, to respecting him like it was release week, 2004 again.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Kojima buttering up GDT for dat Metal Gear movie.

Mmm, buttered-up del Toro.

I would be entirely fine with this, considering he'd probably cast everyone perfectly.

Buttered-up del Toro would probably look and taste gross though.

 

[thebaroness]

I.

CANNOT.

WAIT.

Kojima's mecha license has been revoked until ZOE3

 

[Sub_Level]

Oh sorry, was just casually perusing some anime (cartoons from Japan) content on youtube!
I'm such a nerd xD
Go Goku!

I imagine it would be something akin to a roaster chicken, but taste like taco.

Kaiju confirmed for next Kojima game =P
