In reply to:
I truly enjoy the longer versions of these movies. Not because I can't get enough - but because I think the pacing and flow is better and so is the character development
pacing and flow?? are you kidding me??
dont get me wrong, these are very well made movies.. visually, costumes, special effects, sound effects, story lines, the whole deal. but to say that the "pacing and flow" is better in the EE is ridiculious.. these movies are TOOO long.. i didnt go see a single one in the theater simply for that reason. i, along with millions of others, cant sit in a theater for 3-4 hours, just cant do it. i completely understand that detail of the books, and the sheer amount of story there is to be told. but, my main complaint about the whole series is the fact that they are ridiculiously long.. really on my threshold of how long i can sit in one place, and stay focused on a subject.
this is not a 'cut' or 'dig' toward the movies.. they are great.. just long.. and i just had to laugh at that quote..
