You can always count on tentpole blockbusters to give bombastic spectacle and massive action. During the 2010s, audiences watched plenty of CG armies fall, crossovers happen, and superheroes rise to the challenge. But one niche that wasn’t exactly being filled at the time (at least in the West) was the giant robot niche. The closest thing to scratch that itch was Paramount’s Transformers movies, but those didn’t quite hit the same.

Guillermo del Toro's mecha v. kaiju movie has held up as a true blast, even though what came after didn't hit like the original did.
