I am not a Tom Cruise fan at all, but on a whim I decided to rewatch this movie. I was pleasantly surprised by the rewatch.

I remembered that the movie started with a bang and was doing great until Cruise and Blunt got to the farm house then it stalled.

That was not my experience this time around. This was a really fun movie. The production values were top notch, the action was spectacular and the movie did a really good job of sticking to its logic. I also really loved the mech suits. I list this as the best use of a mech suit in a movie with District 9 and Avatar as a close second and third.

The manga is a better story but the monster design in the film was really good

This is interesting because I bought the book. I wasn't aware there was a manga. Now I'm wondering if the manga or the book came first.

The novel came first, but as far as im aware the manga is a pretty faithful adaptation and was more successful, so I tend to recommend it more.

Sounds good, thanks!

Is the Manga an ongoing book?

Not it's finished, you can buy the whole thing as a single volume too.
