actually i liked that bit, thats really cool. it doesnt matter how bad effects are if the event they're portraying is really cool. spider-man looked ropey but its all about the feel of it.
reloaded's 2 hours 18 from what i've heard. they say it'll end in a freeze frame in the middle of that car chase we saw then the next one picks up right from that point.
edit: oh yeah, after 8 MINUTES of end credits they'll show the teaser to revolutions. pong.
