If they made it any shorter, they'd have people complaining that they didn't give an ending to some of the subplots. And people complained when Peter Jackson DID give his ending(s) to the subplots in LotR.

The problem I had with ROTK's ending(s) was that each one ended with a big fade-out, making it seem like it was actually ending. The endings just didn't flow into each other.

it looks good.
Internationally this film will be massive as it has no competition and the last one made 642 million overseas.

I've finally have seen some advertising, if it's as good COTBP it has a real shot at the title and perhaps 400M.
