My take.

They tried to tell too many stories and ended up with 4 weak arcs that never really fulfilled.

There is the question they ask Hiddlestons character when we first meet him that goes unresolved for the rest of the movie.

Seems it might have originally been meant to play off Jacksons character in a more adversarial way.

Basically both story and characters were underdeveloped.
