DC Extended Universe (POST NO SPOILERS HERE!)

Mark Hughes clarifies about the "nearly 3 hr" JL runtime...

"A rough cut was around 2 hrs 40-some minutes, in told, & new footage will add to it but some scenes are also being removed... "

"My understanding is the expected final range is 2 hrs 20 min to 2 hrs 35min, but depends on the new filming."

Whew, hoping that pacing is good. 2 hrs and 20 min is a sweet spot for me.

[Confuzzled]

I'm good with 2 hours 35 minutes too. C'mon, it's Justice League. It needs to feel like an epic!

[Vanguard-01]

I'll happily watch a three-hour Justice League movie, but all I care about is that it's well-written, well-paced, and action-packed.

If they can give me a good, complete story in two and a half hours, then that's all I care about.

I get nervous reading that it's 2 hours and 40 minutes now but scenes are being added and it will then get cut down to 2.5 hours. That is a lot of story to remove.

I think Snyder's character moments can be a bit weak in that they aren't able to sufficiently give his cool action sequences the heft and impact that they deserve.

Whedon's strong point is character moments (with a few exceptions that won't be mentioned now). If he is working on character moments that help give Snyder's epic scenes and shots the emotional punch that they deserve, then that would be perfect.

Well sure but some of the old scenes are getting removed as well either due to redundancy or contradiction.

I hope this film isn't a 3 hour slog. One of the reasons these large 'crossover' films tend to not be great is that their exceptionally long and bloated with content that doesn't really add much.

[Flash Gordon]

If JL is 3 hours long, however a slog it may be, just please let it be. I'm so sick of these poorly edited hack jobs (BvS and SS). I will happily sit through a 3 hour flick if it is coherent and entertaining.

That said, I do wish some studios would allow films to be a bit on the longer side. Some stories do not extra room.

I'd give an Oscar nom for WW over Logan anyday. Logan was overrated IMO.

If that 3-4 films a year rumor is true, then 2019 is:

-Shazam! (Spring)
-The Batman (Summer, HOPEFULLY!!!)
-Suicide Squad 2 (Fall)
-Wonder Woman II (December 13)

I don't why some people have aversion to a 3hr movie. Like is an extra half hour really gonna kill you? And what will that extra half hour you saved really gonna accomplish for the rest of the day?

Maybe it's a bladder-capacity issue.

I agree! I'd love it to be 3 hours. Then again most people watching the movie won't love the source material like we do, but screw it! It's the Justice League for christ sake.

[Rogue Star]

A good three hour movie is fine with me. It just means that I won't be taking my children to see it.

My kids, 11 & 8, are beyond hype. This could be a 4-hour film and I think they'd kill me if I didn't take them lol
