I thought the first two LOTR films were fine, not overly stretched out or anything. I agree that ROTK should have been twenty minutes shorter at least (I remember thinking that if I had to sit through one more scene w/ Frodo and Sam crying reminiscing about The Shire I was gonna throw up). I haven't seen the new Star Wars films.

I've never seen the whole King Kong, any version. Really, can there be enough story there for three hours, or will it just be an effects showcase?
