Narrative is extremely trite and cliche. You can see pretty much everything that happens come from a mile away. Even cliches that don't belong end up happening. It was laughable and felt very un-Frank Miller. Some of the dialogue was good, but most of it didn't feel like it fit or belonged.

There's a reason why you can see everything coming from a mile away. It's based on a comic book that's almost a decade old, which is loosely based on events that happened 2500 years ago. What the hell did you think was going to happen?

The visuals were fantastic, but ended up being marred by the EXTREME OVERABUNDANCE of slow and fast-motion. The movie would have been 45 minutes long if they had taken out all the slow motion. It was excessive, unmotivated, and made everything that happened seem of little importance.

Take a look at the comic. You'll find a lot of the slo-mo shots emphasized poses or actions that were found in panels of the comic. It's part of the stylized feel of the movie.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
