Yeah, exactly. There was no pacing whatsoever,and there was no character development.

SPOILER





if you're going to kill off a character, and want a big reaction, maybe let us get to know him first. There was a lot more emphasis on him in the book.






END SPOILER

So, yeah. While a lot was good, a lot would've been done better by a better director... Cuaron, for example.
