Well you should beat it again and try it in a different difficulty and then watch all cut scenes.
Yer i'd say what tony said diffent difficulty and watch cut scenes
Finished it last night. I enjoyed playing but I probably skipped about 75% of the cut scenes. I just had zero patience for these overly dramatic, slow and boring mini movies. The only great scene was the fight between Raiden and Vamp. Other then that, in usual anime fashion, the dialog sucked and there were WAY too many pauses in dialog between characters. It was frustratingly annoying and ruined what could have been the perfect game. And it bugged because I wanted to get immersed into the story, but I just couldn't. The scenes moved slower then a bowel movement after eating 5 bran muffins...
Yeah they really go on a bit
