Iron Man Running Time?

[dark_b]

I'd say that's a pretty dumb thing to say.

for an origin movie of this caliber its really scary.

 

[kedrell]

So he's basically not wanting to go over 2 hrs. That's fine by me. 1hr 59min would suit me fine. More does not always = better.

we are not talking here 2 hours or 3 hours.

If people are outraged over this, it's kind of odd since Favreau has been talking about this for the probable running time since 2006.

You know the TMNT movie we love so much from the 90's was less than 90 minutes without credits.

I'd say that's a pretty dumb thing to say.

Personally, I don't think so. Just check out most of superhero flicks on IMDb and you'll find that almost all of the crappy ones had runtime of only two hours as max.

Which ones specifically are you referring to?

I agree with you 100% bud

 

[TheVileOne]

Yeah but we are talking about the movie possibly being a lot shorter than 1 hr. 59 min. which is close to Spider-man length.

 

[A Dark Knight]

Oh I know you were talking about it being shorter, but IMHO that would be the best outcome for the under 2 hour film, 1hr 50min to 1hr 59min makes sense to me, I would be worried if it was more in the 90 - 95 min range, I just can't see that being long enough to tell the story correctly.

Saying that a runtime of less than 2 hours is a guaruntee of a poor quality movie is idiotic. Period.

 

[TheVileOne]

I just want to know specifically which ones he is referring to.

The Incredibles was a few minutes short of 2 hours.

 

[Sun_Down]

X-Men was, what? 103 minutes? And to me, it felt much longer. Whereas X3 was almost the exact same length and suffered because they crammed too much crap into it. So to me it's less about length and more about quality.

 

[TheVileOne]

X-men was 104 minute with credits. About the same as X3.

Here's a quote from Jon today 12/26/07:

We haven't locked picture yet, but I am fairly positive it will be much closer to two hours than 90 minutes.

So rest easy, true believers.

Perfect, that is good news indeed, thanks for the info.

Probably closer to two hours with credits . . . like Ghost Rider .

As long as it isn't closer to 90 min with credits and of course as bad a film as GR LOL, I will be happy.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I just want to know specifically which ones he is referring to.

The Incredibles was a few minutes short of 2 hours.

I know just which one's he is referring to, IMO only X-Men and The Crow are the ONLY 90-100 minute CB movies that are good. All of the others, like Spawn, Elektra, the 2 FF movies, Bulletproof Monk, the theatrical cut of Daredevil, etc, and the worst one of all for me X-Men 3 were poor or average at best.

But if you look at the CB movies that are considered the cream of the crop, Batman '89, Batman Begins, X2, Spiderman 1 and 2 (and 3 for some people), Sin City, Hellboy, V For Vendetta, the first 2 Blade movies, Superman, Superman II,Sin City and Transformers (and for me personally)Superman Returns and Hulk, etc, the majority of them are at least 115 mins long if not longer in most cases.

So the majority of the time, IMO the longer the CB movie the better.

Thats put me at ease to say the least.

I agree, most of the time, the longer the CB movie the better, it gives both the time to tell the story and time for great action, for me the longer the better.

Cool, thanks for the heads up.

90 min, IMO, is just too damn short, a little under 2 hrs like X-Men, 300, the Bourne triology is fine by me.

That's a relief.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Mask were good movies. And he said just under 2 hours running time, not 90-100 minutes. And he said super hero, not comic book.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Don't forget Passenger 57. What was that like 75 minutes or less.

 

[TheVileOne]

Not a comic book super hero or super hero movie, but whatever.

Also the first MIB which I thought was good.

 

[Advanced Dark]

The first MIB was great. The second one was fly turds on a cow turd.
