The Dark Knight Rises Duration of movie

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

God... I hate a movie that last over 2 and a half hours.

 

[emma_c22000]

4 hours with a intermission

t:t:t:t:t:

I'd pay twice as much as usual. Seriously.

And I'd buy 2 popcorns... 1 salted and 1 sweet.

 

[antsman41]

165 Minutes would be perfect...

210 minutes would be orgasmic...

I'm hoping it's around BB's length with smoother scene transitions than TDK, which had a lot of quick cuts from scene to scene. You could tell they chopped it down as much as possible without losing the gist of the story. BB's editing had better flow from scene to scene.

 

[Laderlappen]

I have been wondering what the duration of the movie will be, just look at all of the characters packed into this movie, it seems double of what TDK had, but I could be wrong, and how long was TDK? about 2 hours and a half?

Could this be a 3 hour movie?

Double? More like half.

2½ hours is good. 3 is probably too much.

 

[Nevincer]

Nope,this totally diffrent from those LOTR movies.Those weren't epic but boring.

Well, that's just like, your opinion man... the films are officially regarded as "epic fantasy movies", hence my comparison.

 

[wikum]

i think tdk was slightly too long. same with inception.

i'd like something around 2 hours....but yea i think it's more likely we will get 2 1/2.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

I actually switched off The Return of the King after like an hour and a half...

I had to watch paint dry.

Seriously, only time I ever did that with a movie... but christ!!!

 

[chamber-music]

The Return of the King and King Kong had me praying for the ending to come.

TDK didn't have me looking at my watch onces.

 

[IamtheBatman]

To the end this Batman trilogy it needs be a 2 hr 30 min movie its just go to!

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

I think 145 should do it. Not only does the film need to be as dense and packed as The Dark Knight, but I would also like that extra ten minutes to wrap up Bruce's story for this trilogy (HE MUST NOT DIE!!!!1111!!!!!!)



And I liked TLOTR. . Dunno about The Hobbit though. I hope it's not another King Kong.

 

[Brother Jack]

As long as it needs to be.

 

[Sun_Down]

Three hours? Unlikely. 2.5 is probably the upper limit.

Exactly...

Nolan knows how to pace a movie.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

I wouldn't mind a three hour flick.

The last Nolan epic should be three hours long. Seriously, when is the next time we'll get another director like Christopher Nolan at the helm again... or a cast that involves Oldman, Freeman, Bale, Caine, Hardy, Hathaway, Gordon-Levitt, Cotillard, Neeson, Eckhart, Watanabe, Ledger, etc in a trilogy?

Never, that's when. Give him twenty-four hours for all I care. He's earned it.

Thats not how good movie-making works...

Hell, allow him to release the movie, bit by bit, in weekly installments... he's earned it.

Well, that is your opinion. I doubted Nolan on two occasions. He has earned the right to do what is necessary to finish what he has started -- his way.

Well if only all movie executives thought like you...

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Sarcasm noted, and I do not care.

And here I thought it was because of movie studios interfering with projects that led to our current era of Michael Bay-esque films.

Hmmmm

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

I wasn't being sarcastic...

Nolan does taut story-telling anyway. I doubt he'll go over 2 1/2 hours.

The length of the movie does not = EPIC!

Of course not, BUT all I'm saying is we fans should just accept the duration of the film. Whether it'd be 90 minutes long, or four hours long. Let Nolan finish the trilogy his way.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

No I agree... I want to Nolan to do WHATEVER he wants this time. It's the last time we'll ever have such a talented man in the directors chair.

So i'm going to savour everything about this movie.

I'm just saying... running time is something from a business point of view he may have difficulty with, if he thinks about approaching or going over 3 hours. (From the WB executives at least).

 

[redfirebird2008]

I hope not. I hope they can get someone like Fincher to continue in Nolan's footsteps with the serious tone for the franchise. Maybe Aronofsky, although someone needs to reign him in on the radical origin ideas.

I still think Nolan is in a class of his own, continually improving as a filmmaker.

I've never been big on Fincher's films... i'm not sure he'd have the foresight to make it work quite in the same vein as Nolan.

And Aronosky seems to intent on changing Batman waaaay too much... give him an elseworlds comic. t:

I agree, but more than likely this film will probably be 2.5 hours long. I wouldn't mind if the film crossed that point though but you are right. It would encounter some criticism from the executives.
