I remember before 4-5 years, most movies was in the range of 80-100 mins, this days for reason or another it’s in the range of 100-x<200 mins.
I hate fillers, fighting scenes, sex scenes, repetitive scenes, old comedy styles and unnecessary talk scenes, matter of fact I started realising that if the trend for longer movies continues, we will need to have a sponserblock like add-on/ database api to trim the movie time(remove the unnecessary scenes) to a reasonable time to have more fun.
Why is that happening and is it a continuing trend(meaning that 2025 will have even longer movies)?
I think that it’s a few factors. Some movies that were longer started to be accepted, like the summer blockbusters creeping longer and longer and people not complaining much about the length. Then streaming picking up more and more, and with habits of binging it became apparent people were happy to sit for longer and longer times watching content (shows, documentaries, movies) and then with COVID and people looking for things to occupy their time longer content was welcomed more.
Though with your list of things you don’t like in films I’m not sure you really like films at all? Talking scenes are usually important for dialogue exposition, reflecting the characters mindsets etc, but why do you hate fight scenes and comedy scenes? What kind of movies do you like?
