Straight up yelled at the Rassilon thing. I have no idea what the heck was happening. (Also, what was up with the weeping angel connections? Am I the only one that caught that?)
I didn't think it was terrible, but would have been so much better had he just regenerated right after Wilf killed him (I thought that was excellent) and skipped the massive sentimental excess. I'm also overall mystified by Martha and Mickey....and random Sontarans.
I have a love-hate relationship with the actual regeneration when we got to it (TARDIS blowing up was unnecessary), but as Ten is my Doctor (for some reason I watched Season 2 of the new series prior to season 1...), the tiniest sentimental bit of me agreed. But I agree, when you compare his going out with the entire gamut of Doctor Who, Ten's were straight up pathetic. Give me some good ol' Four "It has been prepared for" and some more narrative restraint and intimacy. (Or "The War Games"...that was a swan song even at 10 episodes).

And Eleven looks very promising.
