The scene could be described as sort of like the arrival and deployment of a magical swat team. The Night Watch, representing the armies of Light. I won't post spoilers, only say the choreography of the scene was really good. And if a stop watch is your only criteria for accepting or rejecting the scene, then you will still hate it. But for me, it was poetry in motion.
I will pass judgement WHEN I see it, and not before.
Please don't pass judgement for me: I don't appreciate people predicting my future for me.
I'm listing my criteria (which happens to include MORE THAN A STOPWATCH IF YOU'VE ACTUALLY READ THIS THREAD), preferences and my experiences, that's all.
In fact, I remember watching it in one of the trailers for that movie. But I intend to hold off on making a judgement about it until I watch the whole movie. Unless, of course, you intend to make a judgement for me, and thus, save me the trouble of actually watching the movie.
I mean, if you're so sure that I measure my enjoyment of werewolf movies with a stopwatch, then, please explain to us in detail why I liked the movie "Wolf," and yet, strongly disliked the movie "Underworld."
