I remember before 4-5 years, most movies was in the range of 80-100 mins, this days for reason or another it’s in the range of 100-x<200 mins.

I hate fillers, fighting scenes, sex scenes, repetitive scenes, old comedy styles and unnecessary talk scenes, matter of fact I started realising that if the trend for longer movies continues, we will need to have a sponserblock like add-on/ database api to trim the movie time(remove the unnecessary scenes) to a reasonable time to have more fun.

Why is that happening and is it a continuing trend(meaning that 2025 will have even longer movies)?

    In my experience most movies still clock in around 90 minutes to 2 hours. Yes, there are a lot more movies that hit the 2.5 to 3 hour mark now, but that’s certainly not the norm. The simple answer as to why they keep making them that long is that people keep watching them. If everyone suddenly decided they weren’t willing to sit through a 3 hour movie anymore, then studios would stop making them.

    From your list of things you find unacceptable in films though it seems almost like you just don’t like movies in general, or only very specific types of movies anyway. There are tons of great shows out now that range anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour per episode, maybe you would enjoy those more?
