but in any case... either SM3 will be a really great movie, or it will be a really crappy piece of junk! The line is that thin...
There are alot of new characters and new storylines (for each character) that can only fit within a minimum of 2:40 hours to make it solid enough (with so much story and characters to introduce properly). In any case, I'm thinking it's going to be a sloppy sequel... but I hope I'll be surprised.
