It's the big, dumb, kinda fun little brother of the first one. The talky bits are too long, the characters are shallow, the acting is passable, the writing is poor. But you get to see giant robots punch giant monsters (and sometimes other robots). Honestly this movie barely clears the 3/5 threshold for me. If you go in with low expectations you can have a lot of fun. But it's not a good movie.
