I wasn't in love with it, but in the end I did give it my thumbs up. :th-up:
Criticisms of it's length however, I think are justified. Jackson so much loved the original, that he didn't know where to stop with his!
I've heard some state, why are people picking on this movie alone on it's length, when there have been long movies in the past? Difference is that this movie contains a lot of fat (the spider-pit scene for instance), which didn't add anything to the narrative, expect showcase the special effects.
Look at another long movie like say "Seven Samurai", which had no fat, and every single scene had a specific purpose.
