The creature design and most of the jaeger design was really interesting and fun. Wish all of the Jaegers had the bizarre touches of the russian one.

The fights were exciting. For someone that loves his creatures and mechanics so much, kind of surprised Del Toro didn't let us get a better look at them, but you could see enough to have a general sense of who was doing what most of the time.

Liked the Godzilla-themed music used during the creature rampage.

Plot, script and characters were mediocre to bad. Elba and Day gave good performances considering.

In lots of ways felt like a very close cousin to Starship Troopers, and manages to be bizarrely engrossing in the same ways, and knowingly cheesy in the same way, too. Not a huge fan of that tone, but better than the dead-serious tone of other blockbusters like Man of Steel and the worst parts of the Nolan Batman films. Hence the good by comparison comment.
