I remember before 4-5 years, most movies was in the range of 80-100 mins, this days for reason or another it’s in the range of 100-x<200 mins.

I hate fillers, fighting scenes, sex scenes, repetitive scenes, old comedy styles and unnecessary talk scenes, matter of fact I started realising that if the trend for longer movies continues, we will need to have a sponserblock like add-on/ database api to trim the movie time(remove the unnecessary scenes) to a reasonable time to have more fun.

Why is that happening and is it a continuing trend(meaning that 2025 will have even longer movies)?

    I think you did not get me when I listed the things I don’t like.

    Here is a explanation:

    Unnecessary Talking Scenes: what I meant by that is when producers insert a long scenes of group talking about a topic that will not make you know the personality of the speaker or give you a clue about what is going to happen in the future in the movie.

    Fight Scenes: they simply waste time without being realistic, I had seen only 1 interesting fight scene in the past 3 years that I was actually interested in watching due to being unpredictable (it was unrealistic but interesting).

    Old Comedy Scenes: a lot of movies try to insert a joke that had been said 100 times in the last year alone and I kind of started to predict how they end just based on pattern recognition, I like modern comedy scenes.

    I have a lot of good movies I liked actually:

    • Flypaper:87 Mins.
    • Nobody: 92 Mins(I liked some fight scenes in it).
    • This is the End: 106 mins.
    • Hangover movies.
    • Some superhero movies (Dr. Strange, avengers, iron man, venom and hulk)

    You got my general vibe here.
