I honestly wasn't a fan of the first movie the first time I watched it.  But it was just so visually cool to look at I gave it a second go, and a 3rd... 

It really grew on me and I'm looking forward to the sequel.

Similar feelings here. We still think a few of the scenes are not the best but overall we like they way they did this interpretation and are looking forward to the sequel.
