It feels like every big movie nowadays is pushing the epic runtime agenda. Back in the day, a solid 90-minute film could tell a full story, but now? If it’s not at least 2.5 hours, did Hollywood even try? Are directors just refusing to edit, or is this a symptom of streaming culture making people more tolerant of long content? And let’s be real - do these movies actually need to be this long, or are we just getting extra filler for no reason?
Why do almost all movies in the 2020s go longer than 2.5 hours?
