I always check for a movies runtime before I hit up the theatre. That's more important to me than the ratings most of the time.

I want to go and see Inside Out but it has a runtime of only 1 hour and 34 minutes, waay to short for my tastes :patrice:
Yea in my opinion 90 minutes is not long enough to tell a good story. I will still watch but it automatically gets 1 star lower just for being too short

no, not at all. I only check the runtime if it conflicts with my schedule that day, I tend to watch films during my free days and also busy days, I always fit in a movie as much as possible.

Depends on the movie really. Some of them make sense to be 2-3 hours, others need to be short. a 2 hour horror movie would be terrible but then you've got a movie like a good day to die hard which was only an hour and a half and it definitely suffered because of it.:camby:you make four movies all at least 2 hours and then you make the fifth the length of a game of thrones episode

I prefer it 90 to 100 min flicks #ADD

But I also don't mind three hour epics. I like Shorter run time for movies I'm vaguely interested in

Certain movie genres make me just go :snoop: when I see it's a 2-hour+ movie. Comedies, Horror, Action B movies, indie, & Etc.

I think a comedy should be about 100 minutes..hour 40, then end it. I think an action b movie actually can be 2 hours and be fine but it depends on who's directing it

Depends on what they do in that hour and a half though. If you can tell your story well enough in that time, then do it. If you know anything more will be just you stretching it out to stretch, then you're fukkin up
