There's so many Gundam stories to adapt it's safe to say any live action adaptations done outside Japan will probably be awful. Same with Macross. Pacific Rim doing OK as a giant robot vs Kaiju film that totally wasn't Evangelion may have only managed by focusing more on the actual fighting than too much people drama, but it was still there and the sequel was a mess.

They've started making a Gundam one, and I expect that to suck too.
