Big Giant Robots

Up until late last year I think I am ashamed to say I had only ever heard the name Carl Sagan, I knew of him and had seen a little of him but knew nothing of what he had done. I actually feel quiet sad that I could get so far through my life and [...]

I managed to get to see “The Green Hornet” this week (in 3D unfortunately, but more on that later). In summery it was alright, not great and definitely not worth going to the cinema to see it, especially paying the extra money for seeing it in 3D. While it is mostly well done and the [...]

Hopefully this is old news to anyone visiting a site called Big Giant Robots but if you somehow have missed it thus far, then you should check out Super Robot Wars Original Generation: The Inspector (hereon abbreviated as SRW).  Why? well it features a diverse range of the nicest looking mechs of the year in [...]

If you haven’t heard of Sym-Bionic Titan you will soon! Then you will wonder how you ever lived without it. This new show from Genndy Tartakovsky has only just started but it is already one of my favourite shows, fortunately for me it slots right into the “Big Giant Robot” theme perfectly.

Today I had a great misfortune to see “The Last Airbender”. I really should say I am big fan of the cartoon, I was very surprised at how good that cartoon actually is. It has an epic story but pays a lot of attention to the details. It is a shame to say that the [...]

The Expendables may have the most pressure on it of any movie ever, just look at the cast list Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crewes, Mickey Rourke, Stone Cold Steve Austin and cameo’s by Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger.  It’s cast are all legends and almost all of them [...]

There are some things that take you by surprise, Glass Maiden aka Crystal Blaze in Japan is definitely one of those series that does that.  Ordinarily I get annoyed when an anime is so shameless in showing it’s influences, and in copying much from my favourite series City Hunter I’d expect to be scathing but [...]

I never wanted the A-Team movie to be made, you could not better the TV series cast, each and everyone one of them nailed their character to perfection.  With that said, this may suprise you, I really enjoyed the new A-Team movie.  It was a fun no-brainer popcorn film, and even with my love of [...]

A great short animation worth checking out, and is relevant to BGR you just need to watch to the end.

Back on the crusade to bring more giant robots to the site and my choice this time is another blast from the past.  Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs was along with Macron-1 and Robotech, a staple of my early morning viewing when I was a child. The show is your basic futuristic western. The [...]
