Just curious, how many times have you seen the movie? I went twice, and the first time I felt pretty much exactly what you described. On my second watching, having lost my expectations from the book, it felt more like they went for the right balance, still flawed, but much less so.

But yes, director's cut please.

I’ve only watched it once so you’re right, it might improve upon a rewatch.
