Why do all movies have to be 2+ hours these days?

[-] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

More ad breaks for eventual streaming service distribution. Two hours? Only 4-5 ad breaks. An additional 20 minutes? Boom, let's sell more prescription drugs, or candy, or whatever.

Its because of the way they are funded.

Films are funded through venture capital, and investors are looking for the biggest profit. So modest films struggle to get funding, because investors believe size=quality.

Right? And it's worse than that. I was going to finally sit down and watch the Across the Spider-Verse movie now that it's on Netflix because it's almost 2 hours and 20 minutes long and if I couldn't take sitting there, I could at least take a break. But then someone who saw it told me it isn't even the whole story and you have to wait for a sequel coming out who knows when which will also probably be that long. I can't take it. At least give movies an intermission like they used to.

Without any spoilers, I felt that the spider-verse movie was enjoyable on it's own. Where the plot ended was, at least to me, in a good enough spot where I was both extremely satisfied with the movie I just watched and excited for the next film.

I'll bear that in mind if I do decide to sit down and watch it. I was going to do it with my daughter, but she has ADHD and both can't handle a film that long and also has an annoying habit of saying she wants to watch the rest later and never agrees to watch it when I suggest it later multiple times. I may have to watch it secretly without her.
