Better editing and better character development would've made the movie easier to follow, and would've given meaning to all the great visuals and occasional funniness the film has.
It's hard to comprehend how these scenes fail, when in the back of your head, you actually know that in another occasion, that scene should've been really bad-ass, or really funny. It's quite a shame in my opinion that there were many scenes that were supposed to evoke emotion, that just did not. Things that are supposed to hit home through a joke, or a 'Wow!' action scene, fail to do so either because you've gotten lost in all the distractions the film throws at you, or you just merely lost interest due to the lackluster story telling. The otherwise simple plot becomes a task and even a bore to follow due to the bad editing and pace of the story.
Judging from the mood of the theater I was in, the consensus of this film was '.' Yep, the pacing and storytelling of the film was so bad that it's actually hard to appreciate the plot, and even the action scenes.
