If that is what you mean then I agree, but more for the reason that I think 3 hours per movie is long enough, and a quality story can be told in such a time. But to ask more out of the movie itself, (not more length, more quality) is not altogether beyond our rights.Amoranth Sorrel, I'm not trying to be mean either, I have not come across you yet and cannot yet read the tone of your postings. I was just trying to clarify what you meant. I apologize if I have come across to you as anything but inquisitive.It seems pretty clear, on the other hand, that MenRWeak's tone is sarcastic and intolerant of those who are dissappointed by the movie and have legitimate complaints.Taken by itself I may have been able to laugh at such a posting as being humorous, but unfortunately I have read MenRWeak's other posts regarding those who were dissatisfied with the film and can read this one in no other way than as being mean-spirited. If I am wrong MenRWeak, and you are just offering a good natured jest, I apologize. And now for a jest of my own.How it should have been in a people with short attention spans who need constant visual and audio stimulation and who won't be dissapointed by sparse characterization, misused scenes, and overdramatization universe.-fire -explosions -sword fights -scary computer animation -and chicks.
