Considering the 3rd movie in the PoTC trilogy was horrible, long, drawn out, and simply nowhere near as entertaining as the first two.... I hope that Warner gets this right. I don't really see why they have to make 2 whole movies out of it. Fact is, people don't wanna sit in a theater and watch a movie for hours, then have to go back to for another couple of hours to see the end. a 3 to 3 1/2 hour movie max should be all that is needed, if you're worried about details, leave the details for the fanatics to read the books. There was tons left out in Lord of The Rings, and it was still an amazing trilogy!

You ever sit down and watch The Lord of The Rings (EXTENDED EDITION) all in a single day? By the time it's over, you're begging for somebody to just kill Frodo or the world to end so the movie will just be over! It's amazingly done, but it's so long, by the time it's over, you never want to see it again. It ruins the overall enjoyment.

This applies later on for sales when it's on DVD/Bluray. Kids who want to watch the movie can't exactly watch the movie after dinner before bed. Least not without multiple sessions.

As an avid long time anime fan, I love series when they're spread out because it helps the story and character development. However, American based movie studios have yet to really grasp making good movies, strong character development, and stories that keep you locked.

In the end...
If it's going to be in 2 parts, I likely will not go see it.
I don't have patience for that, and I wish the best of luck to parents who go see it with their kids. Not only will they be squirming to leave after the first 2 1/2 to 3 hours, they'll be twice as frustrated when they have to go see the second part.

Say, doesn't this mean a double dip on DVD/Bluray sales too?

Hollywood... Figures.
