Well, the critics seem a little divided on this one. However, can you really 'mess up' a movie about giant robots?
I guess we'll see how this one turns out.

I went and saw it with my brother actually. The film itself moves along
at a blistering pace- it's like it knows it's a movie and it "needs"
certain things, so it runs through them to get to the monster fights.
But, come now, let's face it- we've seen every one of these cliches
before, and we know how this is going to end... we just want to see the
fights!
Which, let's face it, is the movie's selling point and strong suit. If you want to watch giant robots duke it out with colossal monsters, you really can't go wrong- the "movie" is just to give reference to the series of fights about to unfold. Oddly enough, I'm okay with that. I doubt very much anyone goes to a film like this expecting anything more than this, and it wasn't insufferable like the Transformers franchise has become. At least that's my 2 cents.
