This is the best character introduction in cinema history. Just try and change my mind —
The jazz. Those slam cuts. The reactions. Amazing.
Honestly this scene is awesome. This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. MechaGodzilla is a BA.

You starting this thread today is kind of funny - my 5 year old had to miss day care because he was sick so I ran to the library and he got a double feature of Godzilla vs. Kong and Pacific Rim to really bang out some giant monster action.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but for how much I love the Monsterverse movies, I really do NOT like the Pacific Rim movies, especially the 2nd one. It didnt help that I did not care for John Boyega in the role he played. I usually like most Del Toro movies too. Oh well. I know a lot of people really like them, so good on them.
The first one is definitely better then the sequel, although I liked the second one enough.
The battle in Hong Kong in the first one between the kaiju and the giant robots (whose technical name escapes me at the moment) is one of the best action sequences, human or otherwise, I've ever seen.
The first one is great. Del Toro's worldbuilding and visual flair is on point, and while silly, Pacific Rim is an earnest and well-executed love letter to classic Japanese kaiju films and mecha anime. Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, and Ron Perlman are entertaining. Like you said, the Hong Kong sequence in the middle is an amazing 20 minutes, and I have never seen anything... old Godzilla films, Marvel films, the new MonsterVerse... that gives a sense of scale and weight for moving objects at that scale the way Pacific Rim does.
I never watched the sequel. No Del Toro, most of the cast is gone save Kikuchi (only a short cameo) and Day (not sure I buy him as a bad guy) so I figured to just let the original stand on its own. And I appreciate that the first one had an actual ending -- not just a setup for a sequel like most films nowadays.
KING KONG Live-Action Series From PAPER GIRLS Writer Stephany Folsom In Development For Disney+
King Kong is still a major part of Warner Bros.' MonsterVerse, but the legendary ruler of Skull Island is also set to make his live-action debut on the small screen in a new Disney+ series...comicbookmovie.com
Disney+ is apparently developing a King Kong live-action series for the service, but this won't be connected in any way to the Monsterverse. Apparently King Kong's rights are pretty complicated where they can do something like this.
I think King Kong's rights basically aren't really owned by a single entity. A lot of those older properties like that didn't do a lot of the intellectual property protection stuff we do now.
I don’t pay much attention to producers and such, but seems to be in good hands.Godzilla Roars in First Look at Apple TV+ and Legendary’s Titans Series
