The Run Time Length Thread

[Spider-Vader]

I think if it's around X1's time length or even better, X2's length I'll be happy.

 

[TheVileOne]

Considering that the trailer and SDCC footage features clips that reference the Origin comics and Wolverine fighting in multiple wars, its not just about his history with Creed.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I doubt the wars will be featured for more than 20 minutes. 10 minutes each war or something.

And his history with Creed is the wars, he was at war with him.

Why does that still mean the movie should be less than two hours?

 

[Mr Writer1981]

If it's going to be epically violent and romantic - as the Fox synopsis promises - you would hope for at least 2hrs. Let's hope that talk of 120 minutes at the Arclight is true. Please please please please...

Well it should be 2 hours, but I'm just saying that if it's not 2 hours, it isn't the end of the world, it doesn't automatically make it a bad film. Why is everyone so negative about this movie? I don't think i've ever seen so much negativity around a movie before.

A lot of people feel burned by the studio producing this movie, especially given the last installment of the X-Men franchise or the treatment of the franchise as a whole.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Hmm yea well that's fair enough. But I still try to think positive.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^I used to do that as well, but Fox kept just throwing it back in my face like the mother****ers they are.

 

[protocida]

People forget that Fox also made "X1" and "X2".

awesome post

here's hoping we get a sequel!

 

[TheVileOne]

So? Should they get a medal?

You are forgetting the adamant and hardworking people that made those movies excellent despite Fox. And when a lot of those guys left, look what happened to X-men 3.

Sorry, but no cigar.

what happened was that it made alotta money. more money than the first two.

my biggest issue with people who speak of X3 as an epic failure on behalf of Fox is that the film did its job: MAKE MONEY.

it didn't please comic book fans and because they are a tiny box office percentage, no one cares.

at least no one in Hollywood.

*same thing can be applied to deadpool, now that people are going insane over the changes made to him.

the fans will complain, but the studio will still give reynolds a film with blades coming out of his arms and lasers out of his eyes.

and I'm okay with that

 

[TheVileOne]

what happened was that it made alotta money. more money than the first two.

By pure numbers alone it didn't since the movie cost twice as much as X-men 2, and about three times as much as X-men.

my biggest issue with people who speak of X3 as an epic failure on behalf of Fox is that the film did its job: MAKE MONEY.

Fantastic Four which made money and then we got stuck with a ****** sequel and now Fox doesn't want to make anymore sequels and wants to "reboot" it. Fantastic Four says hello.

Show me the statistics that says X-men 3 made more money by pure profit alone when it still cost so much more than either of the first two.

it didn't please comic book fans and because they are a tiny box office percentage, no one cares.

at least no one in Hollywood.

Critics that loved X-men and X-men 2 poorly rated X-men 3 as well. So it wasn't just this tiny percentage of comic fans either.

Sure it had a huge opening weekend, but the huge second weekend drop means that the rest of the mainstream audience wasn't that hot on it either. Something else you will ignore.

Iron Man, Spider-man, and Spider-man 2 didn't suffer from dropoffs that terrible.

That's fine. A lot of people like you were OK with the trash that happened in Fantastic Four. And now Fantastic Four is a DEAD franchise that Fox has no intention of making sequels or a Silver Surfer movie anymore. You know the movie that was supposed to actually show us Galactus?

Dragon Ball Evolution? You are probably ok with that trash too.

It's funny how you people hate Fox so much yet yoju watch their movies. If you hate them so much, don't support them by seeing their movies. Don't support them by buying a ticket. Don't support them by sneaking into one of their movies. Don't support them by waiting for the DVD. In fact, if you automacally think this movie will suck, why are you posting in the Wolverine section at all? I stay out of threads about stuff I don't like. What you need to understand, is that there are people who like these movies, wheather it Bleeped up the comic or not.


I already know you and others will give crap for this, but that is to be expected.



End of rant.

By pure numbers alone it didn't since the movie cost twice as much as X-men 2, and about three times as much as X-men.

from what i've read it cost around 210 million and brought in 235 domestically alone. add worldwide numbers and you've got a hell of a profit.

Fantastic Four which made money and then we got stuck with a ****** sequel and now Fox doesn't want to make anymore sequels and wants to "reboot" it. Fantastic Four says hello.

Fantastic Four and ROTSS were aimed at PG audiences. That's why they're regarded as low quality comic book movies, specially when you compare them to the X Trilogy, The Spider Man Trilogy and The Burton/Nolan Batman films.

Critics that loved X-men and X-men 2 poorly rated X-men 3 as well. So it wasn't just this tiny percentage of comic fans either.

true, but you must admit the comic community is microscopic when it comes to box office numbers.

Sure it had a huge opening weekend, but the huge second weekend drop means that the rest of the mainstream audience wasn't that hot on it either. Something else you will ignore.

Yes I will ignore that because you can't just say "The weekend opening was great, but so what?"

The weekend opening was great and that alone solidifies the film's box office prowess.

*I believe its the 5th highest weekend opening of all time

Iron Man, Spider-man, and Spider-man 2 didn't suffer from dropoffs that terrible.

that's because they are in my opinion superior comic book movies, hence the $300+ million domestic numbers.

Dragon Ball Evolution? You are probably ok with that trash too.

I will not be watching that movie, but I will watch a movie that merits my attention despite carrying the FOX logo behind it.

I don't. I never even saw Fantastic Four in theatres. I'm definitely not going to see Dragon Ball. And honestly, I'm not even that excited about Wolverine.

So don't claim you know me and you know my viewing habits.

Err? I "claimed" to know your vieing habits? Well, it sure does say something to your "viewing habits" that you thought FF sucked and watched the sequel anyway.

 

[TheVileOne]

I had my reasons, but I didn't enjoy it. So whatever. That doesn't support your weak and flimsy argument.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

I'd say we can manage to contribute to a discussion/argument and be respectful at the same time, right?

 

[Sam Fisher]

I had my reasons, but I didn't enjoy it. So whatever. That doesn't support your weak and flimsy argument.

Weak flimsy? Doesn't make me or you right or wrong. Whatever. The point I was trying to make was if you don't like Fox, don't support them.

 

[TheVileOne]

I DO NOT FREAKING SUPPORT THEM! STOP ACTING LIKE I DO DAGNABBIT!

Just a hint. That awful FF sequel is one of the reasons I don't. X-men 3 is another. Dragon Ball is another. I, Robot and what they did to Alex Proyas is another. LXG is another. I never paid to see LXG in theatres either. Fox hates creative talents and ran them away from the studio. They butcher movies to create 90 minute garbage and they ended up with a summer of bombs in 2008.

I won't say DBE is good, but how can you say it sucks withouht having watched it? Again, if you didn't like FF, why did you watch the second or X3? You're supporting them by watching their movies.


I'm not saying you're not right in disliking Fox, I'm just saying that I don't get how some have such haterd for Fox yet they still watch their movies{and I'm not saying you}. Some people just get so worked up over a freaken movie studio like it's the end of the world.

 

[TheVileOne]

Dude, enough. X-men 3 came out three freaking years ago. Why'd I see X-men 3? Because my friends wanted to go see it, and they didn't want to listen to me.

I never paid to see Fantastic Four 2 in theatres, so I didn't pay to support it. I saw it for a specific reason.

How do I know DBE isn't good? Because I know things about Dragon Ball. And I know about the script. I know about the mediocre talent they hired, and the director is makes some of the worst movies ever. I've seen enough footage of the movie online to know its bad.
