I enjoyed most of the fights too because they were really well done.  But 
the fight I mentioned specifically goes into the realm of total-CG, and 
at that point, it lost my interest.  At that point it's just someone 
manipulating models, and not the actor doing the work.

Oh, sure, the final fight in particular does that - but it just went on 
for too long and depended too much on CG.  When the CG screams out "I am 
CG!", then it loses my interest.
