I saw it yesterday and felt the same way about the length. The show was dragged down by how much it focused on the main character. I was willing to tolerate how they repeatedly beat me over the head with how brilliant and sensitive and physically brave she is... so long as the plot was moving forward. But it was too much when the film came to a halt so they could spend 20 minutes on her one "flaw:" she didn't believe in herself enough to follow her dreams!
