Ugh, the Aussie accents were terrible. I'm glad Striker Eureka was an Australian mech, but her pilots did not give off an Aussie vibe at all.
As for Mako, they might make her lines English or another foreign language.

I wouldn't mind an epilogue set a year later showing a huge VE-day sized celebration for the launch of a new Gipsy Danger. Ending with it patrolling the former location of the portal.

the wall would also be useless against things that can fly... and probably stuff that can climb like a giant cockroach.

I don't blame them for not anticipating them being able to fly. When that thing sprouted wings and took off I burst out laughing because of how outrageous it all was. It's what? A million tonnes?
Edit:
Lol, that report about the relationship between size and strength etc. Kaiju certainly are ignoring them!

The subtitle of the movie should be Square Cube Law be Damned!

clearly someone forgot to carry a zero or something when kaijus can just walk through the wall like the cool-aid man.
It was weird that none of the jaeger tech was trickled back into society like with most military tech.
I'd expect some smaller scale construction jaegers building the walls or something.

So. Why climb out of the cockpit and shoot the kaiju with a flare gun?

They had to stall Leatherback as long as possible and couldn't do shit with a powered down Striker Eureka. Like Herc said, would you rather die doing nothing or doing something stupid?
Herc said "let's do something stupid". They were about to die, so they might as well have gone down fighting, however futile, instead of sitting in the cockpit waiting to die.

I didn't feel like they were in much danger after it powered down. It seemed leatherback was going to leave it alone. I felt like the flare guns pissed it off and put them in more danger. Hmm...
For all they knew their death was imminent. You, the viewer, however...

its a bit of a shame that the MGS dude's poster kinda spoiled the swords though.

Leatherback was toying with them when they were powered down, but it's not like they knew its intentions. I know if it was my job to keep it from reaching the harbor, I'd do anything I could to stop it.

Got the last gypsy action figure at toys r us today. Psssyyyched. Seeing again tomorrow. Double psssyyched.
Really? that would be awesome! the only things I've heard about a possible sequel are the Mecha-Kaiju thing and that there would be a mexican Jaeger (not sure if Matador Fury or a new one).
How is the movie doing in other countries? I hope it's good enough to get a sequel, or at least they should do something like the Animatrix so we can see other Jaegers fighting against Kaijus.
Well, it's not like a 2,500 ton semi-terrestrial animal could exist in the first place. Flying is just gravy.

The foreign releases of the movie like in Singapore and the like dubbed Mako's lines into English when they were said in Japanese in the US release.

GDT has said a lot of things about the sequel. Let's not get our hopes up.
My heart...can't take it. ;_;
First off: her English parts were dubbed? What?
Second: There was a line she said, where I thought she was doing a Sean Connery impersonation.

Any word on russian bot action figure/model yet?
If we don't get more out of this franchise, i'm gonna be a sad panda for the rest of my life.
Wave 2 of the models won't have it. I would guess that we have to wait until wave 3.

I don't know why everyone is saying that the sword was some kind of hidden thing, it's clearly visible in many of the trailers as GD falls back to earth, and ever since pictures of the toys came out they've all had the swords. I may be wrong but I think even the blueprints they released ages ago had it?
Luckily for me, I go into movies dark. The only thing I knew ahead of time was GLaDoS voice.
Just saw it for the second time, and though I really wanted Cherno and Crimson to get more screentime, they really nailed the 'personalities' of those Jaegers. It's a shame that Striker and Gipsy feel so similar in comparison. Still I really loved the movie can't wait to go see it tomorrow again for the third time.

Hopefully in wave 3 alongside Otachi and probably another battle-damaged Gipsy Danger. They've been doing 2 Jaegers and 1 Kaiju for each series, so hopefully we get something nice like a Coyote Tango figure or something.

The version using Feeder - Shade is better.
Nope, but there will definitely be a series 3, and Cherno will almost certainly be a part of that series. I can't wait.
Preorder images. Notably, Striker Eureka's blades do fold up judging by the SDCC model on display, and Leatherback has articulated fingers (All the better to grab stuff with). I can't tell if he has articulated wrists or not; the San Diego model has seams there, but the one in the preorder image doesn't.
Edit: Actually, I can kinda see what look like seams in the preorder image. Hope they're swivels.

Those are some unimpressive models.
They're mass-market action figures. You're not going to get the same articulation or quality as a Monsterarts action figure, but on the other hand you're also not paying 80+ dollars.

I would say that isn't even up to Mcfarlane standards. The Kaiju looks like something I would pull out of a happy meal.

Took some clearer shots of the figures tonight. Absolutely gorgeous.
Am i the only one who would've been fine with Mako's voice acting being done only in Japanese and have subtitles for them. It's not like she talked as much as Becket anyway!

Just saw it. I loved it. Cheesy, action packed, original yet a loving homage to soooo many mech/gundam stories... easily my movie of the summer.

All I gotta say is that I sat in a theater and watched a big hollywood summer movie where a giant robot activates a rocket booster in it's elbow to punch a giant monster in the face.
I actually turned back into a 10 year old for the duration.
