Karl Urban/Executioner?

Goldblum should have been Dr. Strange.

He actually would have been a fantastic Defenders Dr. Strange. His weirdness would have fit like a glove.

Yup, him. That makes sense!

how do you guys feel about this being a 100 minute movie , a minute less than thors last go around

I guess this might be what takia does. His longest movie is 101 minutes and the rest are below 90 minutes.

As long as I'm entertained I don't have a problem with a 100 minute movie.

 

[karamazov80]

Nah, run time > entertainment. Age of Ultron and Batman V Superman aren't the most beloved films of all time for no reason.

a poster on shh boards posted his or her concerns and pointed out some interesting details about the other marvel movies and how this run time ,if it ends up staying in the 100 minutes region ,would place this movie in the grand scheme of things and the possible negative affects it could have on the finished movie

MCU now has 17 movies -- 11 over 2 hours and 6 less.

3 of the 6 "under" are the Thor movies. Thor will have the 2 shortest (unless credits and credits scenes are over 13 minutes long.)

It will be the only MCU movie with another "superhero" playing a significant role that is under 2 hours.

It combines two "epic" concepts Ragnarok and Planet Hulk. At least I thought they were supposed to be epic.
It introduces Hela, Skurge, Surter, Valkyrie, Grandmaster to the MCU and has to explain Odin's exile, Heimdalls being away from his post and include a cameo from Dr. Strange.

Also has to introduce a fifth Infinity Stone to the MCU.

And if it does have a long extended mid or end-credit scene -- so what? Why does Thor's main story have to suffer to provide a prologue for Infinity War?

48 hours ago, if asked how long you wanted, expected or thought Ragnarok needed to be -- 90% of people here would have said, "at least 2 hours"

Now we are stuck with -- "As long as it's good." and "A short good movie is better than a long bad movie" and "Maybe the credits are really long."

Scott Lang's intro as the new Ant-Man needs more room to breathe than a combined Planet Hulk-Ragnarok storyline?

No one has any idea how the film is structured or paced out. Waititi knows how to make a film. I'll trust in him over random speculation, until evidence suggests otherwise.

 

[RIDDICK]

I trust good directors, but I don't trust their producers.

 

[karamazov80]

Fair point, but the "more is better" mentality has gotten way out of hand with this sort of thing. Do the subject matter justice. Everything else should be a function of that.

 

[EVILFACE]

Yup. Thor fighting Hulk while cracking jokes is all we need!

Pretty much.
Remember ITHulk's deleted scenes? The movie'd be so much better with them.
Remember TDKR? Man, what a tedious 165 minutes of boring drag.

 

[karamazov80]

Dark Knight Rises should have been about half an hour.

I'm very happy to hear about the short runtime for Ragnarok. Back in the day I used to love it when James Cameron would make action epics that were two and a half hours long (or longer.) I have since noticed that most of the best action films of all time (Raiders, Die Hard, Predator, Road Warrior, SW OT, RO, etc.) are all two hours or less. You get "less of a good thing" when they are shorter obviously but the end result is often an extremely tight actioner with endless rewatch value. The original RoboCop is only 103 minutes and I once literally watched it twice back to back in a single afternoon just because I couldn't get enough of it. And even watching it twice over 3+ hours still felt shorter than a single Bayformer film, lol.

Even Homecoming which I really enjoyed I still found myself noticing about 2/3 in that "wow, this is actually pretty long" and even though I found it entertaining I'm in no rush to make the commitment to see it again anytime soon.
