Second clip was kind of bad. Exposition masked as dialogue needs decent actors to pull off, and yeah...they didn't do it well.

Edit: And after watching the shipping crates being picked up....I'm still wondering why these things don't carry melee weapons...Like if that elbow rocket had a spear, would have probably been game over!

Yeah I don't get why you make giant robots who primarily engage monsters in hand to hand combat but don't make melee weapons for most of them. Isn't it just the one robot that can pop out wrist blades or some shit and the rest just fist fight?

check this video at 3:08. Unless i confuse the design, that's Gypsy Danger. So GD, the Australian and China are confirmed to have melee weapons



Japan has fucking shoulder cannons. No idea about Russian

Good, because after we fist fought the gorillas and lions for control of this planet I'd hate to see us use weapons against lesser threats like these mega monsters...

I need to find it, but it was an interview with the director about this movies use of practical effects and the movable - waterproof soundstage they made, along with actual resistance armor pullys etc etc... that alone made me want to throw my money at this movie... it was on youtube... I am sure one of you internet badasses will find it before me.

Maybe it's just that they lost the weapon, and had to improvise and what not...But it's going to bug the shit out of me every time I see them using their fists, or using make shift weapons (Like storage cars)...If they've got the technology to build the robot, I'm sure they could build a large spiked warhammer--right? From what I read, the Australian robot uses carbon-fiber blades. So why don't they just mass produce carbon fire spiked clubs? That shit worked against armored knights for a reason. Or hell, at least spears, or knives...

Meh, I'm really going to try to enjoy this as an action movie...but that's really going to get to me fast unless it's explained in some plausible way. (And yeah, supposedly all the fists have some kind of offensive weapon on them, like the Russian one can electrocute....But then that doesn't explain using improvised weapons.)

And from the trailer it doesn't look exactly like they throw punches as much as use rockets in their elbows to launch their fist into the face of the monsters. That works well enough for me.

I imagine bladed weapons find their use, but severe blunt force injuries can work just as well depending on the target.

I can't see Charlie Day as anybody other than Charlie; I can't see Elba as anyone other than Stringer Bell.
