Comments on this landing welcomed

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, but I am seeking the opinions of airline pilots.

I don't know if this video has been discussed here before, but it's led to a bit of 'difference of opinion', so the views of the experts on here would be welcome:

One point of view is that it should have been a go-around as the touchdown is very late so obviously too fast at threshold.

Another POV is that the extra speed was inevitable due the terrain and subsequent approach pattern, and holding off and 'floating' to bleed off the speed before touchdown was good airmanship.

What do Prooners think?
