    Does the video explain why the movie had to be five years long? I swear half way though I wanted to chew my arm off!!

    @OGHowie: I agree. It wasn't like some other long movies where by the end you just want the damn thing to end. I know I'm going to incur the geek wrath but it wasn't like Return of the King where every other scene seemed like a good place to stop and they just kept dragging it out.

    @tande04: Ouch. I won't chastise for ROTK. But... While Button was entertaining, i started to lose it when he did the recap of events that led up to the life changing moment for the chick. Just words to make things go on and on.

    Proper use of special effects = the viewer shouldn't notice them at all.


    Like in Children of Men.
