Do I want some movies to be 3h long with the deep development of a novel of George r r Martin? Sure, it could be fun.
Do I want a 4h movie about the avengers where the main plot are the philosophic questions about the determisn of the universe of ant man? Fur the fuck shake! No!!
And the problem is that todays perception of filmmakers is that you need 4h to proper tell a history to be properly understood, because with less nobody would appreciate their geniuses.
Sion Sono’s Love Exposure is 4 hours but it’s a blast and doesn’t waste a minute of it’s 4 hour runtime. Whereas some of these Marvel films, these big budget spectacle films don’t need a 3 hour runtime or close to it. They often just feel bloated. Like it would be better and more effective if it was shorter.
I love anthologies that allows stories that only need 10-20 minutes to be told in the right amount of time instead of being stretched out to fill time. Long movies are great too!

Please, give me my 90 minutes back!
It really depends on the film for me.

I can see your point. I guess long movies and short ones both have their place - there are many memorable shorter films as well.
