It seems they are, like it seems that most superhero movies want to go over two hours and feel too long, like they are trying to stick in an extra act of twists and turns we didn't need and could have ended at the 2 hour or less mark.
It's the same with movies like The Fast and Furious movies, the last four have all been over 2 hours it seems.
And the last two James Bond movies almost reached 2 and a half hours each.
I feel that maybe the movie that started this was The Dark Knight. It had a reason to be 2 and a half hour longs, as they did have a lot of story and plot to unfold to get where their needed to go.
But that movie was such a hit that all these other action movies that are following are saying "oh man, we got to make our movies longer and jam pack in a lot more story like that one now".
But I don't feel they have to do this every time. The last few Fast and the Furious movies, I was looking at my clock after about 110 minutes. I feel that was perhaps the better days of action movies when they knew it was okay to end at around 100-115 minutes around, and did not feel the need to compete with The Dark Knight so much.
But what do you think? Have they gotten better for adding in more story and wanting to be longer, or do the plots start to feel they are getting a little worn out and tedious after about 110 minutes or so?
