This is great news, as it is very hard to get into the Chinese market with many traditional American products. This works very well!

Um....this is called "Honest Trailer"?
Every single supposed plot hole they listed was explained clearly in the film. I thought better of them - usually they point up REAL plot holes.
However, the ending does capture the essence of it. This isn't Citizen Kane - its a big, sloppy, simple love letter type of movie to all those great Toho movies of our childhood.

Isn't it funny, if you like the movie, "honest trailer" is bad, but if you think it's tripe..........
No, exactly like I said. They claim plot holes but the supposed plot holes are clearly explained - hence they are not plot holes.
And they do these on films I like and I found them funny. For example:
This should be Skyfall, which I loved but the Honest Trailer was hysterical.

Ah, this "Honest Trailer" is a fail. Sure, it was funny but it didn't at all successfully lampoon this movie. This was a good movie. And if they knew anything about kaigu and the DECADES of movies in this unique genre, he would see it for what it is: The best kaiju movie ever made. I suspect these same people who make the Honest Trailers would not "get" kung fu movies either. They aren't supposed to be heavy on drama. They actually complained about the explosions and giant robot fights with the kaiju? LOL! Find any kaigu movie that DOES NOT have this going on. Giant monsters fighting good guys in order to save somebody or some place. That is the core of the genre. They missed it.
I found this movie far more interesting than say...Total Recall 2010 or Captain America. Perhaps even Iron Man 3.

Are their any other Kaiju movies that blend the Kaiju and Mecha themes?
Yes, several. One of them is (how clever!) Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla. There is a mecha Kong and one where a human can grow to a giant size and fight the kaigu (cant think of the name). I have every single kaigu movie ever made in my collection. ALL of them, even from before I was born.

It was funny as hell, for sure.
But I loved Pacific Rim. In addition to this rewatch, I have seen it about...10 times?

Giant robots punching giant monsters in the face

Watch it STONED.
. There was one scene where after the kaigu walked through the Coastal Wall, the Jaeger was brought in to take out the kaigu and it was totally kicking some kaigu butt. The punches were so funny and the expression on the kaigu face was like...OW! I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. 
Cooooooool!
