The Kaiju's creators were destroyed. Even if they survived and did, we could just re-nuke it. You saw the labs, weve got plenty of Kaiju "code" lying around, and after what happened, Im sure more Jaigers will be built just in case

Didn't hate it, really, and the jaegers and kaiju were fantastic.
Could have done without YET ANOTHER 'white American man saves the world' plot, though, as well as the wth stereotypes of women, Asians, Russians Germans and nerds. And the Mansplaining. And was Becket's swagger and unshavenness supposed to make him attractive to females? If so, FAIL.
And also, protip: if you are having a helicopter land, it's beyond the realm of physics that an umbrella would not at the very least invert and shred.
Oh, of course, unless you MUST have your stereotype 'mysterious Asian girl with umbrella' trope.
CC, I liked the dog, though.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

I think the stereotypes and tropes are actually a vital part of the movie, after all this is supposed to be a homage to the old-school Kaiju movies, with a good deal of giant mech anime slammed in for good measure. That stuff kinda made it feel "right" to me.
And I don't think criticizing a film for its helicopter/ umbrella physics is a valid point if everything else in the movie goes against physics, like the monsters themselves.
