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

[Prognosticator]

Brett Ratner is a certifiable *****e bag! But don't claim bandwagoning here, b/c i thought this WAY before he was hired on... I'm glad its 53mins long! If they're going to let something like this happen than this franchise deserves to go down in/as a flaming pile of sh$@#! And EVERYONE can have equal blame for years to come.

53 minutes... what the hell are you talking about??

 

[Aiden]

If it is 103 minutes then yes, I'm disappointed, but if I'm going to complain about anything, I'll do it after I see the movie. That's only fair to Simon, Zak, Brett etc.

sarcasm pall. i was making an outlandish statement.

 

[Prognosticator]

After further editing, it'll be 88 minutes long. And the DVD director's cut will be 144 minutes long.

you mean 'producer's cut'! brett ratner has been on record to say he can't/doesn't like to make long movies. it's not in him.

 

[Prognosticator]

103 minutes? i could take a dump for longer than that!

...needless to say, i voted for the last option.

But then again, if Peter Jackson were the one directing X3, it would be 3 and a half hours long, and there would be giant CGI Sentinels from the beginning to the end.

Red Dragon was 119 minutes. That's not a bad length

 

[*xmenfan*]

simon kinberg just confirmed that the running time is indeed around 103 min (including credits) sucks for all of us

OMFG this sooo sucks

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

a film should be as long as it needs to be in order to tell its story sufficiently.

i'd rather have a short tight film rather than a long one with lots of unnecessary scenes involved.

Yes but he also said this, ...i'm really not sure if that's with or without credits. so could be longer. honestly, i never clocked it...

 

[Prognosticator]

I Disagree unless its a comedy or children's movie and/or animated movie

 

[Prognosticator]

Red Dragon was 119 minutes. That's not a bad length

yeah, i know. that's the exception to his rule. a lot of us were using the 'red dragon' example to show faith in hopes that he would duplicate a longer effort for x3.

okay...doesn't matter. that's like holding out for x3 to suck (time wise) as opposed to it completely blowing!

How long was The Family Man. X3 will still be good

 

[berzerko89]

nevermind you guys about the time... at least we get to see an x3. sighs!

hahahahhaha! Who ever said The Family Man was a good movie?? I don't know a single person who liked it. It's forgettable at best. It's a sad day when people use The Family Man to prop up Brett Ratner

 

[Aiden]

I liked the Family Man. I know many people who do

 

[Prognosticator]

but dammit(!), in this day and age movies can be as good as possible! scripts can be marvels in their own rights, special effects are good enough to make us cry, and actors finally respect comics/heroes enough to take the material seriously...

...so why, then, do we have to put up with mediocre treatment of some of the most respected modern-day literature in America? sorry, i honestly want to see x3 as much as any of you (if you can believe that), but if i'm going to pay $10 damn dollars, i wouldn't mind seeing a live-action movie that has a running time longer than 'The Little Mermaid'!

 

[Prognosticator]

I liked the Family Man. I know many people who do

(sigh!) and that's ok. i'm sure many many people 'like' it, but it's not Great! It's not Spectacular. You don't Love It. And i think there's just too much expectations with stuff like x3 and people like myself don't want to walk out of the theaters saying, "ah, it was ok." I did that last summer with FF, and now i'm like, "that movie totally sucks hard!"

Meanwhile, Warner Bros. is busting out of the seems with fantastic work. I cried during Batman Begins b/c the theater experience itself was overwhelming! V for Vendetta (conversion changes aside) was outstanding! The best movie so far this year...

...So why shouldn't x3 HAVE to stack up against these movies? It SHOULD by all rights, be as good or better than them. But at 103 minutes, that's a stiff argument to make

 

[berzerko89]

lets just pray that x3 has and X3.5, lol.

 

[Aiden]

You cried at BB?

Anyway, X3 will rock. If it doesn't I will eat my hat [again]

 

[Prognosticator]

Plus, WB seems to be cranking all their high-dollar movies into IMAX as well! Batman, Harry Potter, V, Superman Returns... I don't see Fox giving that kind of respect to it's features. It's a shame too. I want all of these movies to be successful...but we'll see. I hope it changes every way i look at a 103 minute movie!

 

[Prognosticator]

You cried at BB?

[again]

well, i mean i wanted to (i was being melodramatic there)...it was THAT good.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

sarcasm numbnuts. i was making an outlandish statement.

This is the second time I've had to speak to you today regarding name-calling. Mark my words, there won't be a third.

Knock it off--unless you're campaigning for some down-time.
