Probably some of the logic should be removed from the controller and
put into methods in the model(s). So for example look at the code and
anywhere you have a few lines that are to do with extracting data from
the model and manipulating it in some way then consider writing a
model method that implements that function.

You can also extract bits of code into private methods of the
controller, but concentrate first on moving stuff into the models.

Finally, if there is a lot of code interpreting data encoded in the
url then maybe the routes could be improved.

Post one of the methods that you want to re-factor if you need some pointers.
