Yeah, I was underwhelmed as well. Silly me, expecting Nolan might tell a coherent linear story when doing a war movie about documented historical events, but he still managed to turn it in into a one of his signature disjointed messes. It's his nature, I guess. Expecting otherwise was apparently like expecting Jack the Ripper not to carve up his victims. Most people seem to like this - I don't.
I mean, it had rock solid components - the battle scenes were amazing, the acting was first rate, it was beautifully shot. I just wish he hadn't thrown it all in a blender.
Still it came together well at the end, which mostly made up for it. And it was worth paying for/seeing in the theater.
