That's kind of ridiculous. My girlfriend watches all these super hero movies with me, and she quite enjoyed Man of Steel, but there's no way she's going to sit there for 3 freaking hours.

I could comment with a "they have this thing called the pause button", but I won't. Yeah 3 hrs....I'd probably watch a bit here and a bit there...3 hrs is a long time. Hell I have all the extended cuts of all the Hobbit/LotR movies and I can't even watch those in one sitting.

I feel like the movie needs more than a half hour to make the plot make sense.

The good thing about the LOTR extended editions is that there's a disc break (even on bluray). So you can watch half one night, get a clean break and finish it the next.

This has been known for quite some time. Not sure why it's "news".

[Phil Clark]

What would be news is a confirmation or a solid denial of whether or not that extended cut will be released to theaters before coming to home video.

That is true.

You can do that with any video disc. As someone else said, "pause button."

I'm generally not a fan of making movies even longer, and when BvS' original theater runtime of 2 1/2 hours was announced, I thought it sounded too long. But when I saw the movie, it pretty much zipped by. So I might be willing to give the expanded version a look see.

A little too long for me.

You thought the theatrical cut ran needlessly long? Well, here comes the over three hour long masochist cut. Watch, as a movie that could probably lose forty minutes gets another thirty.

I wanted the 4 hour cut. A good movie is never too long. A bad movie is never too short.

heck yeah! the only people this would anger is the ones who didn't want to see it anyway imo. bring it on, i say! i want to see as much content as possible

Yeah. This I agree with. Especially if it is in a theater. At home a 3 hour movie is a diff beast, but in the theater, no way in hell.

As long as the DVD set is at a good price, this is groundbreaking. More superhero movies need to be epic length, even if it's at the DVD extended cut level.

This will be intriguing to see in cable syndication as well.
