Avengers 4: Endgame (Joe & Anthony Russo April 26, 2019) Movie • Page 23

With this being the end of multiple character arcs it has to be long. There isn’t really a way around it. If there was Disney would try to go that way for financial reasons.

 

They did figure out a way around it: release half a movie last year that was 2.5 hours and now release the other half that’s over 3 hours.

It’s pretty absurd that all these blockbusters are so long nowadays. Especially when it seems they typically don’t have much to say.

 

I'm not sure I agree with having "not much to say" care to elaborate? in regards to blockbusters being a long amount of time, I feel like the ones that are approx. 3 hours are that way because they need to be to tell their story well

 

I haven’t seen all of the MCU movies, but the majority of the ones I’ve seen don’t have characters or a story that feels like they’re great enough to have to have such bloated runtimes.

And to be specific, it’s not just MCU movies I’m referring to in general, even blockbusters I like could be shortened a lot, imo

 

And “not much to say” to me means just because their plot is that long doesn’t mean the movie should be. Half the shitty jokes and exposition scenes could easily be cut.

 

I meant that there’s no way for Disney to get around Endgame being three hours.

 

If the rumors are true about the run time and I see this opening night, which would be a work night, I most likely won’t get out of the theater until 10:30/11:00... going to be rough. I love going to the movies but it does suck when so many of them are so long. I’m also going to want to see this a second time likely during the weekend too and it will take up half of my day :/ oh well I guess

 

I remember when they arrived on Titan in Infinity War I had to take a big breath. Movie was pretty overwhelming, but it felt proper given the years build up to it.

 

I keep getting the chills every time a spot shows on TV. This is going to be a painful 32 days. haha

 

lol it’d be ridiculous to see this movie after 10 but now i want to do that

 

Heard 9am for tix.

 

Is that what Tom Holland was teasing on twitter? Figured it'd be another Far From Home trailer

 

Probably FFH. I don’t think Marvel is having dead characters advertise the film like that.

 

Tickets was a lie

 

So, still no news on tickets? That seems wild, any reason not to start releasing them soon?

 

Because Marvel plays too much

 

Trust me, you guys will know as soon.

 

Tickets now please

 

I think I'll buy tickets for Friday and Sunday to start.

 

Also, the date needs to be updated in thread title. April 26, 2019

 

Yeah they only gave us new Far From Home posters today lol

 

AMC has confirmed the runtime as 3 hours 2 minutes as well

 

You know what one of my favorite days of the year is? April 2nd. I really love it as a random day of the year. Such a fantastic day. Usually extra great at 8am est.

 

3 hours? I'm gonna have to take two shits during this thing.
