NEW ZEALANDERS RULE - KIWI KIWI KIWI KIWI...
3 1/2 hours long though thats crazy... anyways I probably wont watch it at the movies (miss too much becaues I need to go pee.. stupid diet coke with lime )

 

[Laughs Galore]

lol I have the same problem with pee at the movies. I might go see it, if I have time.

WOW 3 1/2 hours? i can barely watch a 2 hour movie... even if it is really good...

this one better be amazing if it cost that much and is that long!

i don't get it

why spend so much money on a remake of a movie.....where everybody knows what happens. It's like spending XXX million dollars on something ridiculous......like a remake of "War of the Worlds..." hoping that it will be a great block buster

why does that sound familiar...
