Today I'm watching Blade Runner 2049. Quite frankly, the reason I've set this film aside for a week and a half is because of the length. 2 hours and 43 minutes!! It's been a problem for me admittedly. I'm a firm believer that a good story is a good story regardless of technical aspects like length. But I have to push myself to watch very long movies. I'm not very good at binge watching TV shows like a lot of people because I get fatigued frustratingly easy. I watch 4 episodes at the most. The reason I haven't watched The Two Towers and Return of the King is because they are like 4 hours each! I just bought them on Blu-ray though, so I'm definitely have no choice now.
Anyway, do you think directors should be able to tell a complete story in 2 hours? Or do you think that a 2 hour 40 minute+ movie is exciting if the movie is good? Would love to know opinions from fellow film fans.
