You've well summarised my feelings very well. It's a film which wants to be something bigger, smarter, and more detailed than it really is, but doesn't quite know how to do it, meaning it becomes bogged down in unnecessary information rather than moving on to the next plot point. At other times it is incredibly shallow and, to paraphrase Shakespeare, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
In terms of the sequel, it'll probably be in the same boat as the recent Fantastic Four, which was the beginning of a film series, but wasn't commercially or critically successful enough for the studios to think the investment will be worthwhile.
