I Don’t Watch Long Films

Some of the films released now are overly long.  Skyfall at just under two and a half  hours was probably my limit.

But Les Miserables is just under three hours, as is The Hobbit and Django Unchained.

I always look at the duration of a film and if it’s too long I don’t go.

Tom Brook is discussing the trend here.

In some ways though, I wonder if long films are also a turn-off for cinemas, as they must restrict the number of shows and therefore the number of paying punters.
