So as a huge movie buff and following on from the Django thread where a few mentioned it being too long etc ??
For me personally i have found very few films too long, I enjoy seeing the film exactly how the Director / Producer want us to see it.
Even if it makes the film too long in some peoples eyes it is representative of the directors vision and i personally would prefer to see that.
Some films have been much much better having watched the directors cut for example Aliens was so much better with the extra scenes !!!
Admittedly this is my opinion but what do others think and do you think a 2 and 3/4 film is too long ??
Discuss lol ?  |

Yeh there are some films that are too long i agree but i do think they are in a small minority.
I saw Cloud Atlas and that was a long film but the inter twining stories kept me hooked and was magnificently well put together !!!

Yeh agreed however i do think its important to see the movie how the director intends it to be seen, seems the movie industry has gone from one extreme to the other....
Films used to be cut , shortened and modified for the cinema audience, but now they seem to be getting longer lol !! |

The theatrical cut of Kingdom of Heaven was a pile of crap, whereas the Director's Cut was a beautiful epic (Christ, even Orlando Bloom was tolerable in it !)
The problem usually occurs where studios have insisted on theatrical cuts, then they've ended up too long and the stories don't flow due to the cuts...if that makes sense ! |

Yeh agreed, some of the directors cuts i have seen have enhanced and sometimes made the film 10 times better !!! |
