No spoilers but under a cut anyway because I know some people want to go in with no preconceptions.
Overall I quite enjoyed it! Lots of explosions, LOTS of robots (and exploding robots!), and a moderate amount of complexity for the female characters. The main flaw was that it felt overstuffed, and some key emotional moments fell flat. Also it didn't hit all of my AI buttons because it was mostly about robots as scary mooks. At least they weren't just robot SUITS *mutters under breath about people selling me on Pacific Rim as 'just like Evangelion'*
Made very vague gestures towards some philosophical/moral questions but was mainly about explosions.
Oh and we actually got to meet Clint properly and not under mind control. I'm still not very excited about him but it was good to see him really part of the team.
SPOILERY thoughts.
