I had the opposite reaction myself I was hyped at the start but got more and more disappointed as it went on. However, the final fight was pure spectacle and it was awesome.
On the plus side the score and the sound design are both amazing. The landscape shots were beautiful. Björk was totally believable as a Seer and finally the Valkyrie riding into Valhalla was a sight to behold.
