      Quality aside, I just don’t want movies that do need the extra time to be cut short. Unnecessary padding might be arguably worse, but that comes from different reasons.

        Do I want some movies to be 3h long with the deep development of a novel of George r r Martin? Sure, it could be fun.

        Do I want a 4h movie about the avengers where the main plot are the philosophic questions about the determisn of the universe of ant man? Fur the fuck shake! No!!

        And the problem is that todays perception of filmmakers is that you need 4h to proper tell a history to be properly understood, because with less nobody would appreciate their geniuses.

        Please, give me my 90 minutes back!

          I can see your point. I guess long movies and short ones both have their place - there are many memorable shorter films as well.

            I love anthologies that allows stories that only need 10-20 minutes to be told in the right amount of time instead of being stretched out to fill time. Long movies are great too!

        Nobody wants that, but at least you only lost 15 mi nof your life and not 3:30h that could be well invested in drinking beers with friends :)
