I understood the "big picture" after the first watching, even though I saw a cam in the fall and my amp had to be on an extreme volume to understand what we could of the dialog, which is already hard enough in any official release. Only thing that we didn't fully get initially was the motivation for acquiring the painting, as we didn't hear it clearly, but pushed on and saw what was going on a bit. Second watching from the official home release cleared up the little things that went unnoticed/unheard.
There was definitely a "big fucking awesome spectacle" effect when I first saw it, and I wanted to see it immediately again but decided to wait until the real thing. I thought it might have been my favorite movie when I first finished it, but decided to wait until watch #2 to see if it held true when that spectacle effect was "broken-in" and gone. Not my favorite. Still amazed, though.
The only thing that sucked for me was the battle at the end. It was like they were attacking empty buildings and fighting without any effort. All you saw was a few stray bullets from non-existent enemies. Most of the characters didn't have depth, but for me the rest of the movie made up for it.
Want to see it a 3rd time soon, but I will wait on it longer to not burn it out so fast. I rarely re-watch things twice within a few year period, let alone twice within a few months. Thrice might not be nice.
The score is sick.
