Rewatched on Blu-ray. Won't make a habit of re-rating films, but yeah, this ain't four stars - three on a good day maybe.
Still big dumb fun, but there are continuity errors that stink out the room (entering the Smithsonian in Washington DC, exiting in an Arizona desert) and some of the fight scenes are impossible to follow, because really, they're just someone clanking together two big meshes of gears and cogs.
It's really not one to fire up the critical faculties for at all. To do so is missing the point: it's supposed to be mindless entertainment, but it's not even particularly great at being that.
Edit: Still better than Terminator Salvation, though.
