C'Pi3:20? Dude, the running time's 2 hours 58 minutes.
I liked the film and would like to see what the five-hour cut is like. Although I was ready for the film to be over at 3 hours 20 minutes. Maybe we could see more character development in the longer version.
My only problem with the movie is that I was expecting to see something more than an FX movie and it wasn't.Couldn't disagree with you more. FX movie, to me, means some mediocrity like "The Mummy Returns" or "The One"--the sort of film where the story seems largely there to provide opportunities for the graphics guys to go nuts. The result is that the FX generally overwhelm the actors. I never had that impression here, even when the actors had to fight FX beasties.
