Anybody else here hate movies with short runtimes?

[hotbeezie]

I never look at the run times

I see like a LOTR type movie and I just be like

" I can watch this shyt on DVD"

You're really not gonna watch Pixar piff because it's 90 minutes?

fukkin stupid.

a good day to die hard which was only an hour and a half and it definitely suffered because of it.

AGDTDH suffered because JOHN fukkIN MCCLANE played backseat in a series HE made. I don't remember if there was less action, but if I'm right then that too.

I like Superhero movies between 2-2 and a half hours. Comedies and kids movies at 90 minutes, but I usually borrow them, or watch on Netflix .

Everything else needs to be at least 1 hour 45 minutes. If I'm interested in the story, I'll watch it even if its over 2 and a half hours.

Less action and a rushed movie. No die hard movie should be an hour and a half breh

Certain movie genres make me just go 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

So we really need Jason Staham movies or Luc Besson-produced action moves (i.e. "Taken" series, "The Transporter" series, "Lucy", "Brick Mansions", "3 Days to Kill", "The Family", "Lockout", "Colombiana", & etc.) to be 2+ hours?

Godzilla was 2 hours long. At least 45 minutes of it was boring filler. If they would've cut some of that out and kept it at a respectable 1 hour 30 minutes, it would've been perfect.
Some movies need the time to tell the story and I don't care how long it takes.
Some movies pad out the time to hit the 2 hour mark and it turns into Godzilla, there's too much downtime to start criticizing in my head and focusing on flaws I would've otherwise overlooked.

Went to see the Oscar shorts last year, there were like 5 nominees, and watching them all together lasted as long as a regular movie. Loved it.

Of those I've only seen Taken and two transporter movies breh..Again, depends on who's doing it and what you consider to be a B movie

If I'm at a theatre I prefer a shorter runtime, at home I don't care.

 

[20Inch]

I prefer movies with a longer run time. I like to get caught up in the story.

They fukked that flick up with wack characters and hardly no godzilla. A two hour godzilla should have worked. Especially after those classic teaser trailers.

i love em. i usually watch movies before bed, so i actually seek out movies under 1:45

if the runtime is over 120 minutes, i put it off forever. still have no desire to watch a movie like Interstellar. if i know a movie is gonna have down time and not constant action/comedy, and it's over 2 hours, my ADD kicks in. I have to be in the right mindset for shyt like that.

If Godzilla was as great as it should've been, I would watch as many hours as they wanted to film. And I probably wouldn't hate on the Godzilla-less version they released so much if it was a streamlined 1 hour 30 minutes, I would've still had issues, but no where near the ones I ended up walking out with. For me, it's the perfect example of a movie that was way too long for no good reason.

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

No. 90 minutes is the perfect length for a movie. Tell your story and keep it moving. Tired of every summer blockbuster thinking it needs to go 2 hours plus. You're just adding filler and making scenes boring as fukk.

Seeing something is 120 minutes has me when I'm trying to decide what to watch at home.

 

[boskey]

Agree on everything except comedies. If a movie isn't close to 2 hours, I assume its not very good (targeted towards kids and a "general audience"). So then its like why even bother wasting the hour and a half? I don't usually watch movies to pass time, if I don't expect quality I usually don't even start...
