    I was ready to accept a three hour Transformers movie.




    No that I think of it, I wouldn't mind that... no need to rush.

    WHAT?! Only 1:49? That's too short to fit much epicness... :( 

    Wait, UPDATE: Nelson just said that it's over 2 hours.
    *whew* this is good news. Nothing can be a summer blockbuster unless it's a good 2.5 hours...

    if this is true then im with you on "whew". but if its an hour and 45 minutes long, i wont mind. this just means that they used alot of their budget for a really good CGI packed movie, and not focused on the humans

    Yes, you are right. If you the movie really is that short, then it'll probably be more focused on the Transformers. Which is great! So I guess I wouldn't mind either.

    I knew it. There is no way that this film could have been under 2 hours. It just seems like there is a tonne to explain. Even if it gets right into plot, and skips all the crap that is still not enough time to thoroughly explain the robot characters the way Bay has promised he would this time around.

    There's plots like there is dramatic acting in porn... speaking of which, Mikela will be easy to explain. She's a shallow whore, and Sam has grown up a little more and realized that there are more to women than just T&A. Hopefully Carly has a brain in this... not gonna bank on that, tho, since this IS a Michael Bay movie, and Bay seems to have no respect for women at all.


    HuH? 'Cons find Shockwave, 'Bots find Sentinel. 'Cons go ID4 on earth, 'Bots must defend Chicago, since they seem to be under orders from the President of the USA. Sam tries to get in the pants of a blonde. Prime kills 30 'Cons in a flyby. Should take no more than 1hr 40min.

    Easy. Eliminate "Sam's happy time" segment, eliminate any scene with Megan Fox, Entire Egypt segment. That should be about 30 minutes there...

    Depends on the writing. Think about your favorite joke. If you tell it properly (2 or 3 setup lines followed by the punchline) it's funny. Take the same joke, and make a 200 word essay out of it. Not so funny anymore is it? Some movies can pull off longer times, such as the Lord of the Rings films. Others, because of pacing, are like pulling teeth with rusted pliars.

    Take "Thor" for instance. Enjoyable flick if you love the character, overall, but the pacing is off on it, and it seems FAAAR longer than its 1hr 40min runtime. The story never gives you any believable character-building moments. That slows down the film for viewers because they aren't emotionally invested in the characters. Sure the effects are topnotch, but the script just really suffers, especially when you consider how rich of a villain Loki could be in the hands of a talented screenwriter.

    I can watch LOTR or Seven Samurai, and literally the 3hrs just fly by. I sit down to watch Avatar or ROTF, and I find myself chapter jumping to the action scenes and that's it.

    Yup, if the previous one was about 2hrs long, expect this to top is by at lease 30 minutes more! I can't wait!
