The camera got a little ridiculous in the beginning. It was like SMS was trying to say, "LOOK AT THE SCALE MUTHAFUCKAS!" After that it was pretty manageable.
As for the combat. I don't see how anyone that's a fan of hack n' slash games or any of the previous GOW entries could call the combat in this game a chore. Even my brother, who generally dismissed the series in favor of DMC (we've had loooong arguments about this) agrees with me that this is one of the greatest playing hack n' slash games in existence. You can't just bulldoze your way through enemies or spam L1+Square like the old games, which makes the gameplay much more dynamic and faster paced. This is the first game since GOW1, where I wanted to immediately run through the entire game all over again.
As for the story. I agree with the OP mostly. The cut scenes were way too spaced out and throughout most of the game, they seemed pointless. Towards the end though, things made more sense in my opinion. I will say that the ending left me thinking, "Okay. Didn't we already know most of this?"
I still have yet to get into the MP though. Hopefully this weekend.
