It's been playing on HBO 17 times a day, so I've probably seen it 6 times (in unchronologically ordered segments) over the last month.
Yes, it's toooo long. So much absurd excess could be cut ... with the double effect of tightening the movie and eliminating some of the laughable stuff that takes you out of the film.
Delete brontosauri tumbling over each other to plunge off a precipice, tyrannosaurs swinging from vines, and inexperienced marksmen shooting giant insects from people's heads without harming people's heads.
Peter Jackson desperately needs a boss.
(Someday I hope to hear the Howard Shore score for the film that was dropped last minute. I like the score they ended up with, but it's a tad bit repetitive.)
