You just answered why Twilight Princess wasn't as good as other Zeldas. Way too many cutscenes, emphasis on story and dialogue and so much focus on graphics and 'atmosphere' that the gameplay suffered.
Sure, Twilight Princess isn't a bad game. You could even consider it good from a technical and beauty standpoint. But when comparing it to past Zelda titles, it has major flaws. And things you'd think they would have seen early in development. Especially since they were trying to make a game to not only imitate, but surpass Ocarina of Time on the same level. Instead, its pretty much a game that feels like Ocarina of Time made TOO grand and TOO long. Where even the most menial task has to be extended into an hour long side-quest and dungeons are no longer fun, but a chore.
