Pacing is sharply split: some enjoy a slick, brisk ride and think the slow build increases tension, while others find the first half sluggish or the whole movie much longer-feeling...

Pros: humor, message quality
Cons: pacing, story quality
Momentum is uneven: several responses flag repetition, overlong detours, or a loss of steam after the first hour. Others find the comic action brisk enough to keep the film moving.
Pros: humor, acting performance
Cons: tonal consistency, pacing
Many reviews praise the propulsive chase structure, while others find the opening disorienting, the middle repetitive, or the overall rhythm rushed and overextended.
Pros: action sequences, lead performance
Cons: screenplay quality, ending satisfaction
The patient pace builds scale and anticipation for some viewers, but others find stretches slow, clunky, or exhausting.
Pros: supporting cast performance, acting performance
Cons: pacing, dialogue quality
Pacing is the most repeated weakness: the movie moves at breakneck speed, piles on characters and jokes, and often leaves little breathing room even when that energy is exciting.
Pros: animation quality, visual style
Cons: pacing, character development
The opening moves straight into danger and rarely lets up. That speed excites some viewers but leaves many longing for quieter setup, escalation and character time.
Pros: lead performance, visual style
Cons: scares, story quality
