Well I finally saw this. Can't say how disappointed I am. I loved the first one, it took two elements that I really love (giant robots and monsters) into one awesome movie. It wasn't perfect, but the characters were great and the action was very stylish and fun.
Uprising was just flat, stupid and annoying. I didn't care for any of the characters, they were generic, boring and annoying, especially the little teenage brat. Man I couldn't stand her! I think it was a very bad decision to kill off Mako, especially so early into the movie. If they wanted to kill her off at least make her death more meaningful. Maybe she could've died a hero by killing the final Kaiju or something rather than just a helicopter crash.
And speaking of the Kaiju, they were very generic. In the first one, each Kaiju had their own style and personality. Here they were not cool at all, just big and ugly CGI mess.
Since this really bombed at the box office, I guess we won't be seeing any more PR in the future. Very sad, I was very much looking forward to a PR trilogy.
