Here is my plan to fix the movie (SPOILERS):

When the princess shows up at the house, she is not kidnapped. Instead, either:

Jack or
The king

are kidnapped. Which fulfills that unfulfilled aspect of the the princess’ arc from the start about her having her own manifest destiny instead of letting the plot push her along. Seriously, that was frustrating. Jack can still be heroic, plus by staying close with the princess on the hero mission, they can build a legitimate connection instead of “running away” which is what actually happens.

Oh, I could go on, but that’s my main point.
