There's a lot of really fantastic action and tension in this 3 hr feast. The runtime allows for the creation of lavish set pieces with multiple characters. It should feel complex, but it plays so breezily.

It is very much a part 1 in that nothing is resolved except some forced character turns. It's blockbuster done better, but still not movies done right.
