"It's a 102 mins without credits. There's plenty I wish I could have included but I feel like we got the best bits." Justin Kurzel

So runtime has been updated in the page to 1 hour and 48 min... How disappointing. Considering there will be at least 10-12 min. of credits, and the historical plot covers only 35% of the runtime...Are we going to get only 30 min of Spanish Inquisition?!!
Boy, this is a let down! I hope Justin Kurzel plans an Extended Cut for the movie!
Well the runtime ain't a good indicator. I mean BvS has runtime of 2,5 hours and that movie wasn't that good
shareDepending on the complexity of the story and development that characters need, it might feel rushed. Personally speaking, the movie won't be good if it focus only in the action. Characters need to be developed and there must be space for emotional moments. Oh well, I just wait and see.
share102 mins is too short
UGH
My feelings is that I went back and realised that a lot my favourite films like Whiplash, The Social Network, Source Code, and even Star Trek (2009) that all tell complete stories of a central character, have actually been either at this runtime or just over, and sometimes under and the rest is the credits... I believe that if the movie retains a strong focus on Callum and never loses sight of experiencing the story through his eyes, then I think we'll be just fine, anything that comes from the other characters is from the perspective of our main protagonist. Do not fret, lots of great movies don't exceed the 2 hour mark.

Ubisoft and Fassbender wouldn't let that happen.Justin makes film at around or under 2hrs

More films with this General runtime and how they turned out:
Independence Day: resurgence was two hours (with 10 minutes of credits) and without those credits it was at least 1hr 50 mins and was pretty good imo (that was critically bombed)
Guardians of the galaxy was 2hrs 2mins (same runtime story with Star Trek beyond) with at least 10 minutes of credits. Without those credits the film was about 1hr 56mins and it was great (same with Star Trek)
The legend of Tarzan was 1hr 50mins (with at least 7 mins of credits) and would have been 1hr 43mins without those credits. The movie turned out pretty good. (Again critically bombed)
So yeah. That's the general message
Guys stop we gotta talk this through

Oh where was this?
shareI got excited seeing the trailer ,but with that runtime ,i might not go see it .
shareI wouldn't mind it if it was intended to be that short from the beginning, since the director's previous films aren't that long. I'm worried because of the rumor a while back, that the film was 140 min long. And know I'm concerned if they cut it down from 140 min to 102 min. A film that was made to be 140 min long, and then cut down to 102 min worries me more than the film that was made to be 102 min long from the get go.
shareIt was a rumor nothing else than a rumor. Nobody that worked on the film said it would be so long
shareQuality over quantity, pretty much.
This is a signature. Just wanted to point that out.
This pisses me right off!
shareOh boy.
Whatever you are, be a good one.
