Spiderman 3 runtime

[Solidus]

I'm guessing around Superman Returns length, I believe it will be about 150 minutes with that minus 9 minutes for credits you got about a 2 hour and 20 minute movie.

Hopefully, SM3 will be as long as it needs to be to develop its characters and tell its story, and not one minute more. Superman Returns should NOT be used as a comparative point, because that movie was overbloated because it had nothing new to say. Avoid pulling a Peter Jackson(unnecessarily long King Kong and LOTR: ROTK).

I agree that it would be a bad idea to make the movie overly long since it scares off your average movie-viewer, but since this movie will be loaded with new story-arches it would have to be at the least around 2:20. And I said that it probably will be around Superman Return's runtime, not the same movie.

good point......i doubt this movie will be as long as the first two. there is more story in this one so it will be long 2 hours and 10 minutes.

Understood. All I'm saying is, the studios generally dictate a time frame they want the film to fall into. You're also correct about audience attention span(especially the younger audience). It's a balancing act... if the studio wants a certain time, then structure the story accordingly. If Raimi can tell his vision in 2:20 or 2:30 the way he wants, then go for it. If it's going to take 3 hours, then do it... or rewrite the story to fit the 2:20 limit. Just don't force it.

IMO, SR's runtime could have been significantly shorter. Of course, I thought the entire story was redundant, so what do I know?

2hrs 15 minutes minimum. If it is closer to 2hrs 30 min then fantastic.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

130-150 miniutes.

 

[Theven]

Ideal for me would be between 2hrs. & 30min. - 3Hrs. Anything past 3hrs. would be pushing it. I remember that near the end of Pirates of the Caribbean 2, I wanted to die. I'm not sure if that was 3 hours long but it sure felt like it.

 

[Skywalker88]

well with all the new "twists and turns", at Tobey stated....im guess it will about about 2hours and 30min...maybe just maybe...3hours...but i doubt it.

Batman Begins was about 2 and a half hours long and that felt perfect. Spidey 3 could do the same if it's done well.

^Absoloutly!

I hope and believe that SM-3 is about 2:30 hours! With ALL that needs to be covered, and to do it justice, and seeing how spidey 2 was 2:07, then it's NOT exstreme if spidey 3 will be those 23 minutes longer; which gives it a total length of 2:30 hours! Spider-Man 3 is (knowing what we already know) a MUCH more complex film, and there's over twice as much going on in this one, then in any of the previous. It NEEDS that length! Kirsten Dunst said in an interview "Big things will indeed acure, and it is a very long movie!"... That can mean a lot though, but I figured! SM-2 was 2:07, and Dunst said that "3" is a very long movie. That must mean that it's the longest out of all three, otherwice there would be no point of Dunst saying that to begin with! So it's at the MINIMUM 2:07, like SM-2, and you just know that this one is longer then that... So when Dunst says that "3" is a long movie, then an extra 23 minutes added to the length of spidey 2's 2:07 is NOT unrealistic, at all!

 

[Naite22]

I believe that the length will be just around 2:30... 2 hours and 30 minutes of spider-man!!! Gotta love that... and if it has that same tempo, and energizing feel to it as the previous, those 2:30 hours will go by so fast!

defenitley.

 

[Fox]

Yeah, 2:30 hours is only long if the film is done poorly (ala Superman Returns sadly), but as I said Batman Begins was about 2:30 and I remember that film felt like it whizzed by (while at the same time never feeling rushed).

 

[Naite22]

^ I agree, though I STILL love SR (I do!), the film didn't run by fast...like (as you said) Batman Begins did... and like spider-man 2, I might add!

 

[Gonking]

2h and 15min

 

[Fran]

2 and a half hours is my guess.

 

[Stewie840]

I'm guessing 2hrs and a half. Maybe 3 hours.

 

[SPider-T0rch]

^^ yeah 3 hours is overdoing it. 2 hours 30 mins is a reasonable runtime for a movie with the such a number of new elements( gwen, venom, sandman, harry goblin, and the proposal)

 

[thejon7]

Spider-Man 3=127mins/2hours and 7mins.

 

[Secret_Riddle]

thats the length of spidey 2 though. I doubt they would be the same length. Spider-man 3 has more going on.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

yeah, the length of the movie would defenitley have to be increased. personally i think it will be 2 hours and 30 minutes of the greatest superhero movie ever.

 

[Fran]

2.5 hours seems to be the general consensus.

 

[TheReturnOfP]

Spider-Man was 121 mins. (including credits), Spider-Man 2 was 128 mins. (including credits), so I'm guessing Spider-Man 3 will be about 140 mins. (not including time for credits though), which is also 2 hours and 20 mins...it'll be longer than S-M 2, and it'll be enough time to have the whole symbiote story, the Sandman story, the love triangle between Pete, MJ and Gwen, Harry's story and for the already infamous battle royal. There's no way Spider-Man 3 will be 3 hours; I don't know why people think it'll be so long.

 

[MrSpyder]

Long enough so it doesnt feel like it's crammed
