It sounds like the file system isn't cleanly unmounting in a fairly
bad way, because normally journal replay is sufficient. If there's an
inconsistency between the journal and superblock, this triggers a
preen, which based on the time it takes is probably what's happening
in your case. The first thing I'd do is boot from alternate media and
do an e2fsck -f <dev> which hopefully fixes the problems, and on
reboot there should be no long fsck again. Reboot again, and see if
there's a long fsck. If there is, you'll need to investigate the
shutdown as a culprit.
