I loved it, personally! David Tennant and Catherine Tate felt like they'd been away for a month or two rather than 15 years, and it's so nice for Doctor Who to just be fun and funny again.
I know some people didn't like the "let it go" resolution, but also that's just Russell T. Davies I think. You get utterly bonkers ideas (Beep The Meep on primetime TV as a big comeback monster!) a political point of view that he's not afraid to completely smash you over the head with, and an out-of-nowhere hand-wavy resolution that fixes everything (remember when the Doctor became flying space Jesus and then they erased the human race getting genocided back in the day?)
Also I loved the conversation in the cab:
"How's Nerys?"
"She's fine."
"Since the accident?"
"She's not fine."
"It was her fault."
"She's been fined."
ALSO I really like the new TARDIS interior. Someone on another site described Tennant running around it as like a dog with the zoomies lol.
The Doctor has long been about inclusivity and it's nice to see it addressed and managed like only Who can.
I was howling after that car conversation!
And the new TARDIS has a coffee maker! Totally making a Janeway meme about that one.
There's coffee in that TARDIS.
