45 min chopped off would have been better--spoiler?

Hate when this happens, as it did for Fish Called Wanda when everyone else in the universe loved it.
Husband and I went to see last night, all excited. Last 45 minutes (after they for no reason I could figure out went to the snow world with more guns blasting) such a total bore, on a par with my old corporations class. We both considered walking out, could hardly make it through.
Interesting original premise. Dreams are fascinating, unexplored realms. But the movie made by one with little talent for screen writing/moving making --to me -- needed some breaks in the action (see Shakespeare), and some much needed explanation such as how they started from the first moment being able to be in each others' dreams. And the little girlie -- "super architect?" Silly. She had no role. All the constant shoot-em-up--unnecessary--and headache-inducingly noisy. This could have been interesting if not combined with some modern day cowboy backdrop -- more story, less frenetic action.
In short -- what on earth has everyone so excited? Heard someone outside the theater after discussing from which I concluded it's like the emperor's new clothes, no one wants to criticize for fear of seeming stupid. Well, stupid here. This sucked.
