Runtime confirmed by Fox: 92 minutes!

[Downhere]

WTH? 92 minutes? Good grief I knew my hope was a false one. This is Elektra style, freakin' 92 minutes. That's like 85 minutes of footage. Wow...*sighs* I guess my hopes for this film to turn out well have gone down.

 

[Casius--J]

92mins?? Wow fox just wow

i really dont know what to say anymore, my excitement for this film has decreased dramatically.

WAAAYYYYYYY too short to get any real story telling done, i mean its as long as a friggin cartoon!!

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

I'm still going to wait this one out.

And yes, I'm in denial. Leave me there.

Well now it truly is official, BBFC is never wrong. It's actually under 92 minutes. Wow.

 

[webhead731]

92....minutes?

Wow that's just like watching 3 episodes of That 70's Show.

This is a shortass movie. It better not feel rushed or something.

92....minutes?

I think it will feel rushed. I mean, I thought F4 and X3 felt rushed and those were 104 minutes.

 

[Malus]

Hey, it's still 8 minutes longer than Shrek the Third.

sigh.

 

[Retroman]

Damn, that's.....****!!!

Thanks very much btw maestro.

 

[dark_b]

let me see if i get this right. the sequel is shorter than the first movie?

i will not watch this movie in the theater.ok

 

[Retroman]

Even Nancy Drew (the direct box office competition) is longer.That movie clocks in at 99 mins.

 

[MattC]

And people thought X3 was too short lol I just can't believe this, I have never known a sequel to be shorter than the first movie. I will reserve full judgement until I have seen it, afterall it should be quality not quantity.

 

[xii22_loop]

If they are getting right to it. No fooling around, 89 minutes may be enough. Remember, they are not going into detail reguarding the SS, and Doom, and the FF are established from the 1st movie. If that is minus credits, and trailers, it may be enough. If it is time with trailers and credits, then Houston we may have a problem.

such wishful thinking. I've seen this happen 3 times now, people's expectations and hoping and wishing that despite the runtime and bad odds that it'll come out good.

*3 times = Matrix Revolutions, X-men The Last Stand(Especially this!), and Spiderman 3 (minus the runtime thing, oh god it was long).

but i still hope this is good, well. its the fanastic four, its a never gunna be like a well written
movie, BUT its nice to see people achknowledging their denial

boycotting a movie because of runtime is just silly.........not seeing it again after the first viewing because you didn't like is fine.....but ...... nevermind...lol

 

[Carlo Comicus]

92 minutes? Oh, my god!

 

[Retroman]

Guys, when you see the extended cut of the first film, you might get furious with Fox. And now, we have a running time for the sequel...a sequel that seems to be touching on some serious storytelling territory....that's shorter?

Who wants to bet that they'll release an extended cut of the sequel a year or so after this film is released June 15th?

Not saying it won't be good at 92 minutes but come on....98 minutes wasn't nearly enough for the origin film and when you see the extended cut, you'll see my point.

Ghostrider, Daredevil, Fantastic Four, to a lesser extent X-Men, X-Men The Last Stand, Kingdom of Heaven....I mean, does the list ever end with Fox?!

Ghost Rider is a Sony Pictures production and that clocks in at 114 min.Which isn't too bad really.

I wonder what people will do when Fox announces an extended cut 5 months from now?Buy it?

you have to understand i get very quick angry if i watch a movie in the theater that i sucks.
thank god i didnt watch the first one in the theater.

now you have ot also understand that this movie was cut down. it was shortened. that means that it will suck IMO.

to bad. because i wanted to watch SS in the theater. i hope i will change my mind.

Unfortunately, Fox isn't good about releasing an extended cut in a reasonable amount of time. We are now just getting an extended cut of the first F4 film and Kingdom of Heaven was a similar case.

 

[Retroman]

matrix 3 was short?

No, it's 2 hours 10 minutes and better than the second(which could have been much shorter IMO).

 

[Joe Rockhead]

92 minutes... that's just pitiful.

Yeah, tell me about it.

92 minutes.....thats the kind of running time you give a comedy or a cartoon not an 'epic' action movie with Silver Surfer, Dr.Doom and Galactus. *sigh*

 

[Downhere]

Yeah, tell me about it.

92 minutes.....thats the kind of running time you give a comedy or a cartoon not an 'epic' action movie with Silver Surfer, Dr.Doom and Galactus. *sigh*

Yeah, that's a Disney cartoon runtime. I mean, some films work in a short time like Phone Booth and Vacancy, but a movie like F4-2 should be like 2 hours.

 

[Advanced Dark]

An hour and a half is fine by me. Honeslty guys wouldn't you rather have a highly polished very well made 92 minute film than a boring overbloated film that just has filler to extend it's runtime to make a few thousand militant fans happy. Longer running time does not always mean better, and 92 minutes doesn't mean it won't be an exciting fun entertaining ride. I'm sure a good action films has been made before that was 92 minutes or less. Jeez.

I'd rather be left wanting more than wanting to go home.

 

[Retroman]

Agreed.
