Thoughts on the length of the movie

Rating: 6/10 (9 July 2006)

This movie was way longer than it needed to be. I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy it, but I thought the action sequences to be somewhat excessive. For this movie to be stretched out to two and a half hours is ridiculous. When I saw it at the drive-in, I was so thankful for the intermission, just to get a break. I don't understand how the studio expected kids, let alone, anyone to sit through this entire film, knowing that the attention span of today's audience is nothing compared to what it used to be. I'm wondering how long the third one is going to be. The movie itself as a sequel was not too shabby but it didn't meet the high hopes I actually had.
