Apocalypse Fox officially reveals the running time for this movie

[psylockolussus]

Every board I go people prefer The Rogue Cut.

I'm new here in this board but trust me I've being in a lot of x-men boards and all is the same thing, people in general prefer the rogue cut, but there are always people ready to disagree.

A lot of the fans I saw in Twitter, prefer the Rogue Cut too.

 

[Smilodon]

RBM is saying on Twitter that he saw all "two hours and twelve minutes of mutant deliciousness", so 135 minutes is probably the right runtime. 140 ish with credits.

 

[SuperT]

Just because fans on a board prefer the Rogue Cut doesn't make it better than the original theatrical cut. Fans will love anything extra added into a movie even if it doesn't serve the overall plot or pulls down the pacing of the movie, which is exactly what the entire Rogue subplot does to the movie.

 

[psylockolussus]

Who cares? People can like what they want, its not like people who prefer the Rogue Cut are disowning the theatrical cut. Jeez.

I personally prefer the theatrical cut because The Rogue Cut needs a lot of fixing like getting rid of Beast/Mystique kissing scene for one, but if people prefer The Rogue Cut, then let them enjoy it. No need to explain and argue why Singer removed them in the first place.

 

[GuestStar2004]

Its easy to see why alot of fans would prefer the rogue cut but thats probably because they are fans so they will always want more added stuff rather then less.

there will be many who prefer the 3 hour version of BVS when it comes out but that could end up more yay new stuff = better!

Who is he and why should we believe him?

 

[kineticist]

Because he saw the movie lol.

A friend of Bryan Singer

Dammit, if he's telling the truth than I'm upset again.

I was really hoping for this movie to be longer than that. It feels like is shorter than DOFP theatrical release if it is only 2 hours and 12 minutes.

 

[JP]

Is that all you care about?

 

[TheNewSlayer]

Is that all you care about?

At the moment yes. I'm very satisfy with everything else, the story, actors, characters, no complains there.

For me to be fully satisfy with this movie it needs to have a longer run time than any X-Men movie ever had, including The Rogue Cut.

That's the only thing that I'm looking forward right now about this movie.

 

[GuestStar2004]

you want it to be longer but you ain't taking into consideration that it being longer could hurt the pacing just for the sake of making it longer

 

[TheNewSlayer]

you want it to be longer but you ain't taking into consideration that it being longer could hurt the pacing just for the sake of making it longer

That's only in your head.

Some of you put in your head that a longer movie means bad pacing. And that's not true.

A talented Director could make a 5 hours movie with a excellent job at pacing.

Take out of your head that a longer movie would mean that the pacing would be horrible.

 

[JP]

None of us are putting that in our heads. Most of us understand that this film SHOULD be as long as it NEEDS to be. You want it to be longer, for extremely selfish reasons.

I just want to be longer cause a longer movie means more good stuff to see, but some people are assuming that a longer movie would automatically mean that would be bad cause of pacing issues.

 

[Smilodon]

A longer movie doesn't mean more good stuff. It could mean more of bad, unnecessary stuff. How does it guarantee that it'll be good?

 

[TWayneP]

people in general prefer the rogue cut, but there are always people ready to disagree.

Yes like the actual director and editor themselves haha. I'll tend to agree with how a talented director wants his movie to be theatrically cut and released.

Just because fans on a board prefer the Rogue Cut doesn't make it better than the original theatrical cut. Fans will love anything extra added into a movie even if it doesn't serve the overall plot or pulls down the pacing of the movie, which is exactly what the entire Rogue subplot does to the movie.

Yeah exactly. This is the point I was trying to make earlier.

Its easy to see why alot of fans would prefer the rogue cut but thats probably because they are fans so they will always want more added stuff rather then less.

there will be many who prefer the 3 hour version of BVS when it comes out but that could end up more yay new stuff = better!

Yeah, I'm a fan too, a huge fan of both X-Men and Batman. The difference is that Singer can tell a tight cohesive story, that's edited near perfectly. I have no worries for Apocalypse and to hear that is 2 hours and a handful of minutes... is PERFECT! Snyder has trouble doing this and maybe a 3+ hour cut could actually help that. Probably not, but one can hope.

Adding the Rogue stuff into DOFP didn't help, it just made it cooler for fans, giving extra little fun tidbits here and there. Nothing that was added was necessary. Nothing. But that was the entire point of the cut, just a fan service thing. If that stuff was truly meant to be apart of the film, it would have been released theatrically.

At the end of the day, the movie that is released theatrically is THE movie.

 

[Sithborg]

The whole Rogue stuff needed more set up than what it got, which would've hurt the pacing even more. It also begs the question why they didn't rescue her before.

 

[TWayneP]

I just want to be longer cause a longer movie means more good stuff to see, but some people are assuming that a longer movie would automatically mean that would be bad cause of pacing issues.

That's a pretty juvenile way to look at it haha. More does not always equal good.

Have you ever herd the expression "less is more"? In a lot of cases that applies. Especially to comic book and superhero films.

I have to tell you to just have faith in Singer. There's A LOT of cool stuff going on here already and you just can't get too greedy. More so than any other X-Film. For this movie to be successful it has to work on EVERY level, not just please the fans who want more "cool stuff" haha.

I can understand your excitement, I was the same way with X3 10 or so years ago when it was rumored to be 2 hours and 15+ minutes, then the next day an hour and 43 minutes... That was an entirely different situation though.

 

[TheNewSlayer]

I don't know, how is it guarantee to be bad?

We have to hope for the best.

But with this atitude is like you already made your mind to be bad only because it's longer.

 

[GuestStar2004]

Well what would you prefer the director looked over the film to judge before he releases it or just throws everything in and waits to see how people react after?

 

[Logan0327]

or maybe singer wants to make the movie he wants and he likes the run time he ended up with

 

[Smilodon]

As JP said, no one has said it would be bad just because it is longer, just that it will be as long as it needs to be. Everyone is merely aware of the possibility of poor pacing, as evidenced by the Rogue Cut and other superhero films that tried to do too much.

The thing is that a lot people here are so traumatize with longer movies in general that people assume that a longer movie means bad.

Sure, I have no way to know if a longer movie would be good or bad, but people here just assume that longer is a bad movie. What happened to hope?

Are you guys so sad or unhappy that can't hope for good things?

I hope for a longer movie and hope for it to be awesome. Now, if it not, then, its fine, not the end of the world.

After watching Rogue Cut I loved all added scenes, even if they weren't necessary for the plot, they were cool to watch, and also I movie doesn't have to have only what's its necessary for the plot, it can have some extra stuff not necessary just cause of the fan service.

thats called bad film making thats filling up precious screen time to fan service material instead of having more important story or character driven material developed
