It was somewhat better than awful, but not as good as ok.
The special effects (especially Sandman) were excellent. Better than that in Sandman's case. But the people stuff was sub-average, and I found myself not caring about any of them about three-quarters of the way through the movie.
People were popping up out of their seats before it was over--there's a scene that looks like the end, but there's one more scene.
I will be celebrating the completion of my last ever undergraduate assessment with people on my course, after 8 hours of listening to people's dissertation's presentations (and, y'know, giving my own). :)
It was o.k. The eye-candy was very nice as befits the budget. I have liked that characters in this franchise are not immune to death, unlike the case in comics.
It's amazing how audience reaction can completely alter the tone of a scene (referring to Bernard).
Parts of it came across as supers-group-therapy; too much angsting.
There were cringeworthy bits (uh, Travolta).
It was a satisfying ending.
I think three is a good number and that they should stop now.

Audience reaction to a specific scene still has me shaken though.
