Official Running Time: 130 minutes.

My friend's dad saw a early premier of it, he said its 2 hours and 10 minutes.
Take it or leave it, but it's a valuable source for me. 130 minutes.
Not doubting you at all Marvel. Just wondering why there's different times and why.
 
130 minutes sounds perfect; not too short and not too long, either. It's way better than Fox's mandatory 90 min running time imposed on those X-Men movies.

Two reasons, first because they are probably still finishing the final cut of the movie, and two because often times films have a different cut internationally than they do in the states. The first Fantastic Four movie was like that.
 
Thanks Marvel 001, I hope it stays that same length when it's released in the states :up:.
 
Yeah. That's all I got out of my friend so far... Those that saw it can't release any info about it for obvious reasons. Yes, the film he saw was 130 minutes, but as a lot of you have mentioned, it may/may not be the final cut. I feel it is, but hopefully it stays the same.
 
IM2, TIH and I believe Spiderman all had runtimes over two hours if I remember correctly. Well, TIH's was just under two hours. I think if it's quite a bit over 90 minutes that that's a pretty decent runtime for a film.

IM2 is listed as 119 mins on the UK BD, and yes Spiderman 3 was over 2 hours, but the thing with these movies is we know how much ground they have to cover, as soon as I heard IM2 was shorter than IM1, I knew aspects would be rushed, as it had A LOT more story and characters to cover, I think Thor has more of both than IM1 did to cover so I just personally hope we get more than 114 mins as that just doesnt seem enough.

Whatever you thought was just an opinion and often times leads to a self fulfilling prophecy.

With those 3 movies, its an opinion shared by a lot of people though, one of the main criticisms of all 3 movies was that aspects were rushed and characters didnt get the attention they should have.

We talked about Spider-man 3 before, but I don't see how anyone could think a two hour and 20 minute film could feel rushed. Good greif I damn near fell asleep in the middle of that movie, I don't see how anyone could say it was rushed.

You dont think Venom's storyline was rushed? Or the symbiote for that matter? Hell, even Sandman's story felt rushed to me during that movie, not to mention JJJ got less screentime than he did in any of the previous movies.
 
If the BBFC say 114 minutes then it's 114 minutes.

16 minutes less certainly won't make or break the film 114 minutes is plenty of time.

Two hours and 20 min is plenty of time to tell the story they wanted to tell. Perhaps if they'd used some of the screen time Peter spent dancing or crying like a little b****, they could have fit more character development in, or given more scenes to JJ.

This (although I didn't mind the dancing)
 
Peter dancing and being a dick was the only good part of that whole damn movie.
 
Don't forget the fight scenes, they weren't as good as Spider-Man 2's but they were still pretty awesome (especially New Goblin vs Spider-Man).
 
Actually yeah, Spiderman vs Sandman in the subway tunnel was pretty cool. That and the part of him exploring his new costume powers.

Did not enjoy the end fight at all.
 
The theater I go to put up a time of 115 minutes. They're always right.
 
Well it seems both sides have solid sources so I guess we'll have to wait! Three weeks for the U.S!

Rotten Tomatoes has it running two hours and ten minutes, and they're pretty reliable. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1197233-thor/
No, they often post the runtime of "test screening" version way before theatrical release and does not even correct "After" release. And it seems 130 min was just like that case. If BBFC says it's 114min then, like the others said, it's 114 mins. besides even "lame" IMDb has corrected 130 to 114 a few days ago.

some reviews say 114 mins., some say 130 mins. I'm beginning to believe there are two cuts out there...
