Hopefully he will keep it under 4 hours. I think that all of his films are way too long and drawn out. He does not know how to pace his films. I may be in the minority but I felt that way for LOTR and KK. Frightners was just awful.

Four hours of Dambusters? Bring it on! :dancenana:

And I thought I was alone. Nothing wrong with a long movie, just keep me wanting to be there.

Each morning I wake up regretting ever having watched his King Kong - add me to the list :B

Really?!??!

Hey there,

I'm surprised! I can understand how people would not think that highly of LOTR (though I'm a HUUUUGE fan of the books and the movies both) because of the length, fantasy material, etc...

.. But Kong just rocked! Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to see it in the theaters, but I plugged it into my HT... Awesome... Especially the scene where he fights the dinosaurs and they fall off the cliff and get stuck in the webs (if i remember correctly)... Most involving, to put it mildly!

Just my two cents!

The original Dam Busters was a terrific film. One of those kind that has you holding onto the arms of your chair. I'm sure Mr. Jackson will do it justice in his remake. And like Tex Meek, 4 hours of Dam Busters would be right up my alley.

Just for continuity's sake I thought I'd link to the original thread about this subject. Like so many others it started off well but quickly sank into oblivion.
