" After seeing 'Green Street Hooligans', it was pretty much a given that I'd see anything with Charlie Hunnam in it, so....yeah. Okay, I know it's about giant alien sea monsters vs. robots controlled by people. I get that. I'm not going to sit here and tell you it was the best film of the year. It was sooooo cool, though!

That is until the visionary Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy) tried his hand at the kaiju genre – and gifted the world with a movie that gave mecha behemoths a beating heart.
