I know that they were praising the "youthification" process that they used to change the actor's ages during the movie, but to me it looked like they put the makeup on with a spatula. One of the more depressing movies I've seen in ages. 3 hours of a depressing movie is way too long. Making it into a 2 part movie would have been an even bigger mistake. (0% of the people who watched the 1st part never would have gone back for part #2.
