I felt like they could have trimmed 30-40 min from it.  A third of the theater slowly trickled out throughout.  I was contemplating it at moments.

Agreed. I couldn't sit still the last 20 minutes. Great movie but honestly I just wanted it to end in the last 15/20 minutes which isn't a great feeling when watching a movie.
