Personally i'm not disappointed with the arc but not impressed with it either. Mashima is too scared of removing his characters from the hero side, so it's not really a very convincing way to try to show that the arc is serious and dark. Of course it has it's good part, him showing Tartarus isn't all push-around but then again, it also created the disappointment call Jackal. >_>

So in the end it's a mixture of good and bad with the bad covering most of the good.
