Extremely Long Cutscenes, What's your take?

For the record, I think Gears of War hits this balance just about perfectly, especially the second game. You're never just shown something that would be better played.

Gears really does not have a good balance, at the start of chapter 5, there was no explanation as to why you are getting on that train, and why the CoG's lightmass bomb is under Locust control on a train

Look that confused me too, but I'm talking about the gameplay to cutscene ratio.
