Considering the prices you pay for movies these days I don't mind sitting for longer movies. I've gotten used to them so that when there is a short one I feel almost..um...cheated

As long as the footage is relevant and advances the story, I don't think it will hurt the film at all. PJ has proved that he can make every frame count.

3 hours seems a little long considering the original was 94 minutes.

good point...another good point:

a movie makes a couple hundred million dollars and its only 90 minutes. a movie makes the same amound and its 180 minutes. basactly double the effort has been put into the longer movie meaning they obviouslt give a bigger dam about there script.....

studios dont like movies that are to long and usually force the directors to edit the hell out of them (famously American History X and Thin Red Line), Peter obviously seems sure audiences will love the film.

Think about this. This is the CUT VERSION! So when it comes out on DVD, ala special edition with all the extras he likes to IE All the Lord of the Rings movies he released Special Ed. were 4-5 hours long, so I cant wait for thant and it will probably be great, I am very happy with this being three hours long.

another positive.

i just realised:

kong does get angry but its all only about love. he falls in love with anne and she does the same. after 3 hours i would believe it positive for them to be married. when he dies, after loving him for 3 hours its going to be hard for the audience to let him go. thus comes the crying and all the positive reviews and oscars ect. worked for million dollar baby, emotional ending.

As long as the film keeps me interested regardless if Kong is on screen or not, I'm game.

it doesn't matter to me how long the movie it is. i actually like 2-3 hour movies better than the short 85-95 minute movies.

in my opinion, this is how peter jackson made it 3 hours long:
first hour: jack black, adrian brody, and naomi watts going to the island

second hour: them at the island meeting kong and the dinsoars and stuff

third hour: them going back to new york with kong and showing people to kong and him fighting the planes and climbing the empire state building and stuff

anyway, it looks like a cool movie and i dont mind the length, its not quantity, its quality

God you must have been REALLY disappointed then.

I just couldn't do it, that pic was making me sick to my stomach. And to all those who kept calling me a racist, never again should you direct a comment in my direction again. You can all go to Hell for all I care.

Yeah, just as I was afraid. The movie was too long. Telling a 4 hour story in 3 hours is great. Telling a 2 hour story in 3 hours is just tedious. I loved Jackson's work on the Rings films but this movie was just brutally long. Jackson needs to discover that thing we like to call an editing room.
