I'd argue it has some of the best writing since it does exactly what it's supposed to do-- get you from one arena to the next.
As he said, nobody plays Gears for the story, it's like playing Mario for the story. The story is only there to rush you from one fight to the next and it does a fine job of that. It doesn't do much to get in the way and it's just long enough to give you a quick breather between fights. What more can you ask for from a game that doesn't care about story?
