I haven't played the PS1 MGS, so I can't judge the cinematic based on that, but I truly thought in the Twin Snakes it was done to perfection.
Although I would normally say bullet time is over used and cheesy, in this case I would have to say it was done so well that it didn't seem cheesy and actually fit in quite nicely.
But like you said, if you can look past the bullet time, the rest of the game is incredible. I personally found every aspect of the game amazing, so I really have no complaints (aside from maybe watching the game more than playing it, but then again, the game is heavy on the plot, so it’s ok).
Once again, I haven't played the PS1 version, so my opinion may have differed had I played that.
That said, I still suggest all MGS fans give it a rent, it is an exceptional game.
