How much do you really care about X3 being only 103 minutes?

[FieryBalrog]

I dont think F4 made more than BB. IMDB stats have BB at least 60-70 million dollars ahead, 35 million dollars ahead net when taking into account BB had a bigger budget.

Marvel is done with Fox??

They set up their own studio to make films from Marvel comics.

I dont know when they get the X-men rights back, but I cant wait. Maybe in ten years we can have a reboot.

Off topic: When does the film show at Cannes? Like is there an exact date?

You forgetting Silver Surfer and the F4 sequels?? And if X3 is a hit you better expect an X4.

Well I am talking worldwide box office. Taking into account the budgets I think FF might made more...not much though. But still my point still stands...****ty movies can make money just as well as great ones.

I think X3 will be shown at Cannes a week before it hits theaters, at least I thought I read that somewhere.

 

[XBoy]

I really don't see the big deal, guys.

 

[Radford]

this running time stuff, strongly affirms my belief that they are just trying to finish with this trilogy as cheap as they can without making it too obvious. thus so they can get into the spinoffs and possible new X Men movie series.



im not saying this means it will suck, i believe it will actually be the best of the 3, i just think theyre trying to get this trilogy over with.

 

[Sunstar]

I just worry about the film seeming too rushed.

I agree! It seems like the movie will rush into things because of the short running time! In order to keep everyone interested you need to keep it at a steady pace with a bit of eye candy here and there but not the endless action we see in alot of movies (especially Fox films) lately!

I feel if they spend more time emphasising the story and have short but memorable action scenes I might enjoy the movie more! Thats how the previous films were! They focused alot on the characters and their issues and they didn't need over the top action and special effects to tell the story and thats what made the X-men films unique and interesting!

I fear that due to the short running time Fox might inundate us with all these fantastic action scenes, in the hope that it will be enough to keep us happy but it won't 'coz the general public and comic book fans are more intelligent nowadays and want more than that but Fox is too close minded and feel that a short film with tons of eye candy = good film!

Not that bad. He just said that its around the 105 minutes, he didn't confirm it. So we could still get a little bit of a larger run time.

 

[antonydavanzo]

I couldnt care if its as long ( or short ) as they are saying. IMO the run time doesnt ruin a movie, and if X3 is ***** then it will be because of the Director/script and editing not the run time. I have read on here that some people wont see X3 because of this timing and I say get a life!!!

I was, but I started posting again, so I took the "M.I.A." tag out of my sig and custom title. I've been posting regularly again for a couple weeks now.

But with all this unfounded negativity, I might just end up pulling a WorthyStevens. I'm really getting tired of coming here, only to find everyone *****ing about the runtime of this movie. It got really old a long time ago. Now it's becoming more than annoying. It's becoming really frustrating, and somewhat agitating. This forum hasn't been too enjoyable the past couple of days. And quite frankly, I don't want to be sitting in the movie theatres the whole time, thinking about how this, that, or the other thing proves all the nay-sayers wrong, and I was right from the get go. I wanna concentrate on enjoying the movie, not proving VileOne wrong.

By all means...stop whining. This goes for all of you who wanna act diva-ish and want to make some grand, big exit with a 5 paragraph post talking about how you're not happy any more. If you're gonna leave, leave, but if you not, stop complaining because people are mad about the runtime, which is justifiable by the way given fox's track record.

Hmm well my first instinct is to say that the running time sucks but that's just the X-Men fan speaking. As an X-Men fan I think only a movie around 3 or 4 hours would make me squil with joy
BUT after reading mr.Kinberg's explenation I'm gonna wait AFTER I've seen the movie to judge if the running time was a wrong choice for the movie.

From now untill May 24th I'm only thinking possitive thoughts, this movie will rock

You had time to come to terms with it, but in the name of those of us who just woke up: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

The runntime has been on here since last week after the Cannes Festival website posted it, so we all have had some time
And I'm tired of mood changes after every bit of news that comes out

 

[MoiBijou]

I hope it's 103 min WITHOUT credits. With credits it would be a 113-120 min movie, so it's still OK...

BUT if it's WITH credits, then... well... in a quick way of speech: it sucks.

I think it is too short for an "epic" (remember, Mr. Arad?) movie, but I'll try to keep my pessimism low until I watch the movie.

Yeah, but who really believed that b4

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

I had this nagging feeling it might be true, the Cannes Festival need to know runningtimes to plan everything.
