This strikes me as a bizarre attitude. Surely value for your money would be getting the opportunity to see a great, entertaining film that you would happen to enjoy. Denying yourself the opportunity just because it's half an hour or so shorter in comparison a lot of other overlong, massively padded blockbusters seems like a mistake. I mean, I've seen movies at the cinema that were only about 80 minutes and I had a great time.

Like, what is this?
IW being the longest by far is more exciting to me, but this makes me think he's got the perfect cut of this movie in mind.
What. A. Time.

Well the greatest film of all time, Rocky IV, is only 90 minutes, so I'm optimistic.

Amazing what happens when you cut out Portman and one broke girl.

He wasn't alone.
Guys, it's not the length that matters.
And add Taika Waititi, Hulk, and Jeff fuckin Goldblum.

Is it weird that this is the Superhero film I'm the most excited for atm? These ultimate team ups are starting to feel bloated in comparison

Personally I think that movie would have been much better if it had ignored all of the characters we went on such an emotional journey with and cut to Gandalf untying his hair, hopping on an eagle, and headbanging his way into the sunset.
Kat Dennings as She-hulk. Please.

A shorter run time is fine, I trust Taika. His last two films are on the short end and are excellent. A Thor movie has the potential to be the best in the MCU. What a time to be alive.

The 140+ minute standard run time for blockbusters is one reason why I don't even bother with them anymore. This sounds good.

Which ones specifically? I haven't noticed this problem.

Well, as long as there's enough time to develop Hela, Executioner, Valkyrie, and Grandmaster, sure.
Hopefully the cool stuff like Fenrir and Surter don't feel shoehorned in.

Good, fucking tired of every superhero movie being over 2 hrs.
I marathon the extended trilogy at least once a
Year
:V
Yup, I intend to pick up the DVD sometime in the future.
For what it's worth, I'll still be watching the film, but probably on Netflix or DVD at a later date.
Either that or I can tell my buddy to pay for my ticket since he rarely ever watches films in theatres without me.

The first 90 minutes of Batman v Superman is excruciating. You couldn't pay me to sit through that again.
"Hey man, you want to see this film called Casablanca they're playing down the street? I hear it's supposed to be like...the greatest film of all time or somethin!"
"I don't know, man. How long is it?"
"Uh...100 Minutes."
"100 MINUTES?! Fuck that, I want some bang for my buck! Let's just watch the Cure for Insomnia Directors Cut at home instead!"

Maybe it'll have one or two less explosion set-pieces.

Same goes for the last 90 minutes.
Lmao do people get more creative with their trolling or do I have too much hope for them?
I agree with this. Fuck off am I paying like ten quid or whatever for not even two hours of entertainment I'm too broke.
Terrible example, I'm absolutely not paying crazy money to watch some old ass black and white film that's on telly all the time anyway and probably on youtube by now; I'm not a millionaire.

As we all know Movie Value is weighed by Time and Money.
Its why Rotten Tomatoes ratings are based on Movie Length, not the quality of the film's story and photography.

They just finished reshoots so I think it'll be longer because they're still a ways off from the final cut. Still probably gonna be under 120 minutes.
Indeed, especially Marvel films as of late.
Homecoming and Gaurdians 2 were quite lengthy, but the execution and pacing were fantastic; the minutes flew by, in my opinion.
42" Sony Bravia and PlayStation Pulse Elite Headphones.
I'm pretty much set, just need that Dunkirk Blu Ray.

I refuse to believe Orochi ain't just trollin.
He's trollin.
..right?
He's trollin.
..right?
Yeah, I prefer longer superhero movies.
That being said, I don't expect or need a 2 1/2 hour Thor movie. But there's no way the final cut is only an hour and 40 minutes.
After seeing Dunkirk in 35mm, I am looking forward to seeing the digital 4K version as well...
Anyways, back on topic. I am happy to see more movies with shorter runtimes, and I don't feel like I'm missing out on any value if the movie is good.
At first I wasn't sure, but the DVD post threw me a bit.
Yeah, this is neither a good or bad thing but if someone told me there was an equally good cut of the movie that was an hour 40 and 2 hours 15 or something, I'd pick the latter. I wanna see as much of these characters doing their thang.
I mean, this is a Gaming Forum and this mindset is VERY prevalent on the gaming side soooo...I fear for the worst.

Sounds like the movie will be lean and not over stay it's welcome.
For your information Sir, my playful vignette was actually set in the chaotic and uncertain time of 1942 when the film just came out, where people also had inexplicable access to the Cure for Insomnia BluRay.
Also, fuck it, I would love to watch Casablanca in a cinema. You kidding me? That would be great.

Man, just how far paced is this film gonna be? The trailers showed a lot going on.

That's what I was thinking but I was also pretty sure that ridiculous argument had taken a lot of knocks over the last couple years, so I wasn't sure whether dude was parodying a near-death argument on that side, or if he thought this was like, a lazarus pit where bad arguments were made young and crazy again.
Mate if it's 1942 I'm probably in the war or doing a rationing or something so I'm even less likely to see it. Maybe in America y'all can spend the 40s chilling at the cinema for cheap but in Great Brexit we have Nazis to fight.
Good thing it's not a summer blockbuster.
