The first movie was alright, the mainstream audience didn't like it too much but they don't respect the robot.

There is no hope for the sequel ever since they removed Del Toro and replaced the main character with Boyega.

Whatshisface that replaced Del Taco was a better choice since Toro is really busy with a bunch of other stuff right now. Is it optimal? Probably not, but it's a better outcome.

> The first movie was alright
It was retarded. They spent all that money on special effects and didn't put a single bit of effort into the story.
It has an incredibly contrived scenario where the insubordinate rockstar pilots are becoming increasingly ineffective at taking on monsters in hand-to-hand, one-on-one fights. Instead of replacing them with better trained, more disciplined pilots and providing them with tactical support and ranged weapons, then send them out in small platoons to combat threats, everyone decides the best course of action is to cancel the entire Jaeger project and just build a wall along every coastline on Earth. America, Europe, Russia, China, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, they're all on board with this and so it's down to what is effectively a small mercenary company that's struggling to get by to save the Earth.
Why? Because fuck your intelligence, audience, you're supposed to like an underdog.

It's a kaiju movie, the entire point are the fight scenes. If anything I'd say they had too much story, they should have just removed everything that wasn't "there are monsters attacking the world; get the robots".

Oh, of course. If other movies are stupid nonsense, this movie shouldn't try to be anything more than a moronic, box-ticking crowd-pleaser either. Don't have any standards or expectations, don't demand that a movie with a budget of $180 million should have even a slight level of quality control for its story, just shut off your brain and enjoy the gold-plated turd they served up.

This isn't /tv/, giant robots beating the shit out of each other/other giant things with bad story is basically 90% of anything relating to mecha.

God. This fucker actually has charisma on the screen, but is always cast as cringe worthy characters. Attack the Block would probably be even better if his character was full on nigger thug or something.

Mostly TV -Daredevil, Spartacus (+ War of the Damned), Smallville- which I would normally like but I don't have high hopes.

Really, it could keep the shit characters and even downgrade the CGI, but taking away that entire fatalist rebel on-the-right angle would have improved it to a whole new level.

It was okay. It's giant robots beating up giant monsters with a tenuous justification why the giant robots are necessary.
It does however contain one of the better movie speeches I've seen. Not Independence Day good, but pretty good.

Watch it. It's great. Halfway trough the third battle the protag finds a button labelled 'SWORD' that was presumably there the whole time.
Also, the jap girl was well utilized. There was more reason for her to be there then just 'the love interest'.
