I wouldn't go quite that far but the final battle was pretty extraordinary. The problem for me was that I had to suffer through over 2 hours of predictable dialogue and trite plot devices to get to that point. The movie felt far too methodical and contained many unnecessary parts IMO.
Not a bad movie, far from it. But it's not some pioneering piece of cinema. It's a visual extension of everything that came before it, only more so.
I'd put it on par with Jurassic Park if I was feeling generous. That's definitely not an insult, BTW.
