Just back from watching. Well worth buying in bluray.

Moses had a Jaeger, true story.

Otachi kicked Crimson Typhoon's ass mainly because the triplets chose to underestimate its tail. Then Leatherback ambushed Cherno Alpha, thanks to Otachi's acid, and straight up drowned them and blew their reactor up. Until then both of them were used to fighting Kaiju 1v1faget instead of a double event. Even so it still sucks we never got to see them in action in a flashback or something.

I agree with moar screen time.

[Salodin]

But then it'd be too long, and it was already pushing it as it was. Honestly, I don't think I'd change a thing with this film lol.

Would have enjoyed seeing more of the Russian and Chinese Jaegers fight. Other then that I loved the movie. A few cheesy lines , but nothing over the top. Del Torro did an amazing job.

Any future giant monster / monster sci-fi will be compared to this movie. The standard has been set. Smooth fights, great close ups and the sfx on the cities were great.

I'm hoping for a 4hr extended edition Bluray where all the extra scenes are Jaegers fighting.. Do it del Toro, don't be a bitch!

Read a few reviews and some people are ripping this movie apart. One dude on comicbookmovies.com seemed to imply transformer movie was better.

This is the closest we've gotten to a live action gundam movie.

While that site is fine for news, the comments are the worst. People that will literally bitch about anything and everything.

So its BG reskinned?

[Kaslo]

Watch a sequel not even involve Kaiju. It's will just be a world war Jaeger arms race.

[Alarial]

I'm ok with that.

Or genetically engineered Kaiju's made by humans battling Jaegers for world domination :D.

lol i thought the same fucking thing lmao

I'm surprised nobody has posted about how insanely slow the whole middle of the movie was. Did nobody else feel that way? After they finally got into the Jaegers because 2 of those things came it picked up again but the whole part between the intro of the movie and that part was boring, boring, boring.

[Anakron]

It felt a little slow, yes, but it wasn't anything unbearable. They had to build up the characters somewhat, and the part with the scientist drifting kept things somewhat interesting.

This guy.

[Salodin]

I touched on it, it was slow but necessary. From that relatively small part of the movie we pretty much got every important characters motivation and enough of a back story to make it believable. It was almost too long, but not quite.

[Serra]

See, I feel it wasn't slow because a lot of the things that could have dragged on didn't.

Like with Raleigh at the wall. When that exchange between him and the Marshal started, I was expecting Raleigh's decision to get back into Gipsy to take forever. But nope, "you want to die on the wall or in a Jaeger?" was an awesome way to resolve that. Then there was the whole thing with Mako being his copilot, it was like 5 minutes after you think the Marshal is going to drag it out, he gives her that shoe back.

There are probably others that are slipping my mind, but those are the ones off the top of my head.

glorious

Looks like the pre-order price for the 18 inch GD is around $80-90 USD, depending on retailer.

Also, the merchandise side of things are going swell apparently: the figures are moving fast (pretty much all of /m/ has bought at least one Jaeger). Now to see how the box office numbers for China and Japan fare.
