I went to see this on Sunday night, and while much of what you write about the pacing is true, it was all worth it. The scene with the dog, and "give your father his bow" were enough to elevate this to excellence for me.
Agreed, Greg; those are beautiful moments, especially for those who are familiar with the original story -- the script definitely rewards the literate for paying close attention!
