I think Peter Jackson thought he had some sort of magical power, like a magical ring, that would keep audiances in theaters for 3 hours. I liked the movie, but they definently could have cut atleast a half an hour out of it, maybe a full hour. I have a hard time sitting through movies regardless. Jack Black wasnt effected by the massive amounts of whisky he drank in any way with the exception of making rash decisions. Other than that, the acting was pretty good. All in all, the effects were cool, the story line was enjoyable, and the setting was very fun to explore. Maybe we'll see a King Kong vs Frodo in the future.
