I find the fact that you've managed to actually start playing without a big fight breaking out over the game to be a great positive. Enjoy.
And yeah, I thought it was pretty good myself. Notable flaws present in both story and gameplay, but both have enough strengths to make them enjoyable.
I should probably say that Samus's internal monologue sounding bored is an intentional decision though. But most would agree it worked a little too well!
