The Run Time Length Thread

[Deaths Head II]

HAHA the workprint was 106 minutes including credits and this is 109...HAHAHAHAHA. 20 extra minutes my ***. People will believe anything.

I agree. Fox knows this, so that's why they feed us these lines.

 

[chaseter]

Except I learned from it last time.

 

[TheVileOne]

It's funny because a few weeks ago, McCabe was up and down exclaiming how 90 minutes was the perfect length for this movie because of Mad Max.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

the funny thing is, vile, how you condemn this film for being under 2 hours when it really doesnt need to be longer. the story doesnt warrant an over 2 hour film. just because the comics fill up 100 issues with uncomprehensible garbage doesnt mean the movies have to.

Funny, that actually describes the ending perfectly.

 

[Deaths Head II]

I definitely disagree. The beginning needed more development to make the later events have more impact. You may disagree, but I definitely think this film could have been better with 2 hours. I strongly believe more time developing Team X, Wolverine and Sabretooth's early relationship, Silverfox and Wolverine, Stryker's relationship with Wolverine, and Wolverine in general would have made a huge difference for me in rating this film.

BBFC lists this as 107m 15s... looks like Fox didn't add anything to the movie other than maybe some nifty effects.

I still stand by that.

Why? Because I haven't seen the movie.

And neither have you.

There is no need for anyone to start doing that, so let's not start.

The movie has a running time of 109 minutes according to the dutch classification board and been given a 12+ rating (like PG-13).

Strangely the site says the movie is been distributed here by Warner Bros. Something to do with Watchmen?

Just can't make it up... can not make this **** up.... just never ceases to amaze me.

And if you people are paying for this to see the completed effects... why??? If you were not satisfied with the work print as a film in its own right... why would you pay for a few CGI shots? The main lure of going to a theatre... or even sneaking in for that matter, was to catch the extra 10-15 minutes of bonus footage. Is a minute or two more really worth it? And it's one thing if you feel guilty about downloading it and want to pay for the real version... but do all of you guys go back and pay for every single thing you pirate? Be honest here... I just can not fathom why fanboys who were not satisfied with the leaked version would go back and watch this thing if this is indeed true.

Sure.......Where's your lack of evidence?

I swear, people never take info straight-up anymore and just leave things how they are until something solid is actually presented. This creates a huge amount of assumptions and this is how terrible rumors get started.

As far I knew, most of what was done were RESHOOTS and not additional footage, so, the running time wouldn't be changed by a large amount.

Maybe they're not as obsessed with the run time as some people are here.

People will see it for any reason they choose to. There's no need to go jumping down people's throats if they do.

 

[Figs]

this is my theory.

FOX had a 2 week window before ordering prints for the various theatres, to hear fans complain about the flaws in the leak.

They may have resorted to alternate conclusions to specific storylines, specifically with characters NOBODY will ever feel satisfied with.

*I'm expecting to see Storm in the film along with a completely different title sequence.

Sorry McCabe...I as well as others heard almost this exact 'wishing' or 'hoping' for X-3. Hell! We even heard it for the DVD for X-3 as well.

I can't say how the theatrical version is going to be until I see it when it's released, but I wouldn't get your hopes up about Fox listening to complaints from the leak and try to fix the film before release.

If they did that,(you know...by actually giving a damn) they could have done that with X-3(on DVD if anything) since there were so many different edits/scenes in the trailers and TV spots that weren't in the final film. Ratner himself said he had multiple edits which all altered the film's tone pretty drastically.

Not saying Hood did the same with Wolverine, I just don't see Fox listening to the fans.

All I can say is... what goes around comes around... and it would be nothing more than sweet justice if this thing flops in Fox's face. Drinks will be on me should that happen... t:

 

[Deaths Head II]

So the extra time people were parading around as the savior of this film is probably bunk...the only justification anyone can keep giving for the final cut being better is the editing, sfx, and music (which will personally not raise my score much I don't think...those things would be icing on the cake but this cake has some broken glass in it).

 

[Peter McCabe]

I just don't see Fox listening to the fans.

They shouldn't.

the majority of [source material] fans don't deserve to be listened to.

Its a noble thing to go see a movie in the theatre and then deem it crap. Its just cheap to download a raw cut of that movie and then crap all over it.

The reactions to Deadpool alone are just ridiculous around here.

"That wasn't Deadpool."

 

[danoyse]

I thought the Deadpool anger was pretty justified, actually...

I agree with you that a ton of 'source material' fanboys shouldn't be listened to mainly because a lot of them complain about some of the smallest diversions...which is a bit obsessive.

What I meant by my comment was in regards to the complaints that the film is too short and how a number of characters get little to no development, so they're essentially wasted and only serve to move the character to the next scene. You know, actual 'Film' complaints not 'comic book' movie complaints in regards to accuracy.

Hugh Jackman even stated everyone would be pissed. Its expected, and unless they show something to prove thats not the last we will see of Deadpool I think everyone will continue to b****.

Us Deadpool fans have good reason to be upset.

What if they gave Sabertooth Optic blasts instead?

 

[TheVileOne]

You aren't standing by it McCabe because you are supporting false rumors that there's some longer 2 hour plus cut of the movie out there.

 

[Peter McCabe]

Don't encourage them, please.

they've been naggin about every little detail regarding that character.

I'm kinda happy it blew up in their faces.

Hugh Jackman only said that to get the annoying fanboys off his back, well at least he thought it would.

Honesty is the last thing you wanna try with insane fanboys. I prefer the Gavin Hood approach ---> DEAL WITH IT.

*Everyone that's seen the leak who's opinion I value is telling me Deadpool's final "form" is both fierce and horrific.

That alone sounds more appealing to me than the wacky ninja guy who looks like Spider Man and NOBODY except comic fans know about.

 

[Peter McCabe]

No, I'm standing by it because whether its 90 minutes or 107 - I still haven't seen it.

And neither have you.
