Can someone help (Resident Evil GC version)

Just picked up Resident Evil for the Gamecube today. I missed out on it before, so the copy I picked up is used. Anyway, I noticed while playing it that it pauses for a little bit while shifting to a different camera angle. This doesn't affect the actual gameplay so much as it affects watching the cinema scenes. It's only about half a second, but it's still noticeable.
Is this normal—or did I buy a lemon?
