Before I watched it I would have said the same thing. Honestly, I keep
forgetting this one even exists because it doesn't stand out as being
particularly good or bad. Which makes it easy to forget about.

But I think what happened this time was I was in a good mood while
watching and that always helps. Plus I watched the "extended" cut. I
don't know what was added back, but I'm guessing more violence and maybe
a character beat or two. Whatever they put back in probably helped as
well. Overall I think it was mostly going in with a good mood, and not
remembering everything that was going to happen allowed me to sit back,
take it all in, and enjoy the ride.
