Video: Pacific Rim: Uprising may not have lived up to its predecessor, but it’s still a fun movie about giant monsters fighting giant robots that, sorry to break it to you, weren’t actually so giant before the film’s visual effects artists worked their magic.

Godzilla and Pacific Rim is the crossover we deserve. In a just, good world, there would be five movies of this, just Jaegers and Godzilla, first enemies, then friends, then frenemies, and then, just when you think it gets old, in space.

Pacific Rim Uprising naturally shares a lot of things with its predecessor. It's a big, dumb film about big, cool robots, and for the most part, it's good fun. But something huge happens early in Uprising that makes it clear why the sequel fundamentally lacks the heart that made its predecessor so good.

Pacific Rim has giant robots in it. The Jaegers are great, but a large part of their greatness is because they all have utterly fantastic names. We've crunched the data and have thus developed an objective and completely unassailable ranking of Jaeger names from across the Pacific Rim universe - from the movies as well as the plethora of robots introduced in tie-in comics, games, and more. So don't question it.

After ten years making short films and working the festival circuit, this weekend will be the first time writer-director Emily Carmichael has a feature film released in theatres. It will not be the last.

Pacific Rim is kind of a weird movie. People either are totally apathetic to it, or love it to death. The sequel, directed by Steven S DeKnight rather than Oscar winner Guillermo Del Toro, doesn't quite have the same cult factor to it – but if you're looking for some ridiculously over the top city-smashing, robot on monster action, this is the film for you.

Not only is John Boyega the star of Pacific Rim Uprising, he's also a producer. And when we spoke to the film's director, Steven S. DeKnight, he explained there was one arena in particular where Boyega really got his hands dirty in terms of producing.

Josh Brolin delves into Thanos' past for Avengers: Infinity War. Karl Urban discusses the future of the Star Trek movie franchise. The Booster Gold movie is apparently still happening. Plus, a new look at Cloak and Dagger, and bad news for Dirk Gently. To me, my spoilers!

Video: We're already excited for what will undoubtedly be another giant robot smashapalooza when Pacific Rim Uprising hits theatres on March 22. But then someone went and painstakingly recreated the sequel's first trailer using everyone's favourite building toy, and now we're also pining for some official LEGO Jaeger sets.

When Pacific Rim Uprising director Steven DeKnight found out that Charlie Hunnam wasn't coming back for the sequel, everything changed. We spoke to the director about what exactly happened behind the scenes when he lost his star, and it will have fans clamouring for what could have been.

Giant robots, as we've previously established, are good. Multiple giant robots? Even better. Multiple giant robots fighting each other? The best.

Video: Like, literally. That's a big Kaiju.

What superhero movie could Thomas Hayden Church be appearing in? You're going to have to wait a bit longer to see The Predator and Alita: Battle Angel. Plus, new looks at iZombie and Gotham, and Andy Serkis talks about whether or not he'll be part of Amazon's Lord of the Rings. To me, my spoilers!

Emilia Clarke teases the mysterious Qi'ra's role in Solo: A Star Wars Story. There's already wild speculation about the villain of Wonder Woman 2. V could be making a comeback, in movie form. Matt Letscher teases the one CW/DC spinoff we probably won't see. Plus, more teases for Krypton and Ash vs. Evil Dead. By the power of spoilers!

Video: The two Pacific Rim Uprising trailers we've had so far have promised more of everything we loved from the first film. More giant robots, more giant monsters, that sort of thing. But they have been a bit scant on something else we want more of: Rinko Kikuchi's returning hero from the first film, Mako. This new trailer from Japan at least gives us a little bit of that.

The Mario movie is, err, a-go. The cast of Detective Pikachu keeps getting weirder. Paramount has its eyes on a big new genre franchise. Andy Serkis talks about Snoke's Star Wars future. Wesley Snipes is still holding out hope for a new Blade. Plus, what's to come on Black Lightning and The X-Files. Huzzah for spoilers!

Video: Our latest look at the next chapter in Pacific Rim's robot-vs-monster punchup is here, and it's promising to bring us plenty of new action with the film's next generation of Jaegers. But it also gives us some more intriguing hints as to just why the Kaiju have returned, stronger and deadlier than ever.

New Avengers 4 set pictures feature a SHIELD reunion. Detective Pikachu adds a new character. Legends of Tomorrow could be paying a visit to a former President's teenage years. Plus, new pictures from Supergirl, and wild speculation about another comic character appearing in the next Spider-Man movie. Spoilers now!
