Well, I don't know if it's an excuse not to do their best possible--I think it's more of an effort to give Tolkien fans what they couldn't in theatres, what with time constraints and all. I know people who complained about three hours...personally, I would've stayed all nine/nine and a half <I>last</I> December to see all three movies at once, but that's because I'm more than a little nutty. But what I'm saying is that an extra half hour or forty-five minutes would've driven non-believers away. Besides, any butchering that occurred in the Two Towers wouldn't have been undone by extra footage. Alas for Faramir! He was too sore a trial for PJ. How that scene increased my sorrow...<P>~*~Orual~*~
