Probably the wrong thing to pick up on, but I'm a girl - I don't know what part of the UK you live in, but I've never heard a girl called 'mate' where I'm from.

I look forward to this movie. I hope they get a good crew to make the movie that understands Gundam. Gundam is not just giant robots fighting each other. There is way more to it than just an brainless action series. I would like to see Hollywood try to adapt Mazinger Z and Getter Robo next.

They hire Akiva Goldsman to write the movie. He wrote movies like the Lost in Space movie from the 90's, the Joel Schumacher Batman movies, I Robot, etc. That's already a bad sign right there (His only good movie is A Beautiful Mind and even that movie had problems in my opinion).
