Saw it last night.

The first half was really eye-poppingly cool stuff, but…

As we get to the third act, we are given multiple plot twists in the span of about 5 minutes, that leaves the audience confused and thinking about how it all fit with the first two acts. 

Also at that point, they begin to really stretch out the romance scenes so they are excessively long.  I mean, having a number of kissing scenes that are each near 2 minutes in length will make you feel uncomfortable.  The last fight was weak too, and the CGI blood used there was so obvious.

But like I said, that’s really in the third act.  The first two acts are great.  The sound effects were amazing, the acting was very very good, and the fighting was everything you could hope for.  I just wish it didn’t fall apart in the end like I explained above.
