Was really excited for it too. Loved Pan's Labyrinth and the Hell Boy movies.

I agree completely. I finished the book and had absolutely no desire at all to look for the next installment. I found most of the scenes highly unlikely and unbelievable and ended up with no emotional attachment to any of the characters.
Also the big, bad villain came off as such a joke that I was rolling my eyes through the whole final confrontation.
On the other hand, I loved The Passage. That story was rolling around in my brain for weeks after finishing the book. The ending was a surprising and thrilling. One of those books where I had to groan to know the story was over and I had to wait until the next part was published.
