I feel like maybe two of any of the plot points could have been removed without any problem.
For instance, was there any point at all to
the fact that the kaiju were clones or...something?
I liked the movie more the second time around since I wasn't expecting anything more than what it was, so I just appreciated its efforts to be decent in the character/plot department and awesome in the robots vs. monsters department. I did think it was neat that the heart of the movie was
a father-daughter relationship between a black man and a Japanese woman.
There were too many white guys with brown hair. It took quite a while for me to be able to tell them apart.

he could learn anything he wanted because of the hive mind. Wasn't that where he was getting all his information, the hive mind? How would clones make it any easier to get information from the hive mind?
I think it was a
hive mind BECAUSE they were all clones.
Despicable Me 2 = however many minutes of complete delight.
I can't wait to see that! I have ridiculous minion-love.
"I said DART gun!" "Oh, I was wondering."
But
they can't ALL be clones! Every single one we see is different!
P-C,
they made that point that
although they looked different, they were all clones. They made this statement specifically in the film.
