Needed a script editor or something

I quite liked this for the first hour or so. Although the ending felt as if it never addressed the main focuses properly, throwing in hard to follow plot lines as substitutes instead. I think my main issue over being salty has to be post credits scene it felt so out of place and detached from the rest of the movie. (p.s This isn't really a hit but the romance between Watson and Hadaly during the last 20 minutes felt slightly forced.)
