Do you prefer long or short movies?

[Deleted]

I prefer 90 minute movies. Films like Rocky IV and Cobra are some of my favourites because they're quick and to the point. You don't have time to get bored because they're so fast paced. I do like two hour movies sometimes. Films like Superman and OHMSS need to be that length because they have a lot of story to tell. Some two hour films fly by like Superman III, Back to the Future and many of the Bond movies. Still, I prefer an hour and a half pictures. I have ADD so that may be why I struggle to sit through long films sometimes.

I think I've got it myself sometimes these days. My attention span ain't what it was.

Shorter ones. To that end I much prefer television which tends to be more "compact" in terms of its content.

I'm generally too busy to watch films anyway

That House of Gucci film with Lady Gaga is 2 hours and 38 minutes. The last Bond film was 2 hours and 43 minutes. Why are movies so ridiculously long these days? Don't forget you have to sit through 30 minutes of trailers as well so you're stuck there for 3 hours or so. I've got a weak bladder as well. 120 minutes or so is fine as long as I have a break for a wee and a cup of tea half way through, but 158 minutes is taking the piss somewhat.

I can watch either, what matters more for me is that the time is used properly. A film needs proper pacing so that I don’t spend large chunks of the film bored shiteless and edited properly so you can understand what the f*cks going on.
