And imho the constant use of slow-mo kills the flow of the action. Slow-mo should be used sparingly, like salt in cooking. If you pour it every-fucking-where then it loses its point and just drags everything down.
What other movie besides the Matrix actually had a reason to do slo-mo that was inherent to the plot? It was to show the effect of the drug called "slo-mo".
