Yeah because investing trillions into giants robots vs just investing heavily into basically beefing up weapons platforms to support bigger bunker busting type missiles to penetrate and blow up the monsters from the inside would be crazy. Coastal wall is stupid why not just dump tons high pressure cement down into the rift if you're going to build a wall.This movie is built on lack of common sense. Willful ignorance in order to achieve just masturbatory hot robot on monster action.

Of course not, it super stupid. It is a classic plot point for all anime "giant robot" movies and TV shows that their funding is cut when the fighting gets hard. It is always followed by "this new system will defend us without issue and make sure that no one gets hurt, unlike you reckless robot pilots". You can replace the wall with any of the following:

Unmanned, computer controled robots
Some automated point defense system
A forcefield or bubble
Peace talks that are clearly a trap
Some sort of long range cannon that will kill the monster before it shows up

And, as sure as the sun rises, the system fails and the scrappy group of pilots who still had faith in the robots they piloted rushes in and proves that the old systems are the best. Also, as some point the power and computers will be knocked out and only the older robot that wasn't upgraded will run at full power.

This is all standard issue for Giant Robot action.

Some things are dumb in an over-the-top fun way. Some things are just nonsensical, irredeemably dumb and don't actually contribute to the fun factor at all. This movie has more of the latter than it has of the former. That doesn't make it better, it makes it worse, even for that genre.

So if the monsters just float through the throat could the humans just have built a concrete cap on the rift? The kanji wouldn't have any footing or leverage to attack it and they would just get bottled op. gg aliens.

But seriously anyone have anything about the stick fighting?

The first problem they'd have is the Category 5 Kaiju that is guarding it, though they'd probably deal with that baiting it out and nuking it or something.

Also, how deep is the portal located anyway? I find that the film is kind of vague about that (good luck getting anything vaguely humanoid shaped to withstand the pressure at the bottom of the ocean lol).

How about the Kaiju that was somehow able to fly 10 miles up in the air on wings? If we are going to talk about shit that is fucking impossible, lets start there.
