10 Upcoming Movies That Have Ignored Major Mistakes

10. Being WAY Too Long - No Time To Die

The Mistake

It sure as hell feels like blockbuster movies have been getting longer over the last few years, with the number of tentpole films clocking in at more than two-and-a-half hours reaching honestly infuriating levels.

And as great as Daniel Craig's upcoming final Bond film No Time to Die looks, the recent announcement of a 163-minute runtime has some fans concerned.

After all, Spectre clocked in at an already bladder-testing 148 minutes and felt like quite the slog, and in a franchise as trope-heavy as James Bond, is it really reasonable to ask audiences to sit tight for close to three hours?

The Lesson

Pirates of the Caribbean's third movie, At World’s End, feels like an equivalent example, given that it was also part of a franchise with a well-trod formula and ran dangerously close to three hours in length, with a 168-minute runtime.

Though At World's End was a stonking commercial success, the wildly mixed reviews mostly criticised a length described as "self-indulgent." And so, despite the talent behind No Time to Die, don't be surprised if it's also accused of fatally over-egging the pudding.
