Some of them are quite vague.

This one doesn't say much about the plot, but it didn't seem like it bothered him too much. https://www.avoir-alire.com/mazinger-z-la-critique-du-film

He says the scenario is not easy to understand on first impressions, but recommends it anyway. http://freakingeek.com/mazinger-z-infinity-de-junji-shimizu-critique-cine/

Here it says that if you don't know anything about Mazinger, you might be a little lost but the plot is simple and easy to understand, and it's under the pros. https://comic.systems/cinema/MazingerZInfinity/critique

France IGN reviewer says that the scenario won't be the main attraction, but that it's not like people remember the plot of Grendizer anyway. http://fr.ign.com/mazinger-z-infinity/31330/review/mazinger-z-retro-nostalgie-en-action-critique-cinema

The reaction is definitely across the board, and while the plot is definitely not its strongest suit, when I read the summary by the reviewer you sourced above, it did seem way more negative than it actually is.

If I only read that summary above, I sure wouldn't want to watch the movie. Yet, I know someone who absolutely LOVED it.

Also, I did an edit on the screening in the US and Latin America; it ain't gonna happen. Toei retracted its statement shortly after and confirmed with ANN that it was a mistake.
