It's generally a bad sign for me when I'm feeling a movie is too long

Too short. At least then I can fill in details or endings with my imagination.

Don't care. A movie should be as long as it needs to be. That said, I'd rather err on the side of longer. Give scenes room to breath. Don't try to rush things.

An example is the new How to Train a Dragon. It's a scene for scene remake, that's nearly 30 min longer. And I found it surprisingly more effecting. I actually cried, which never happened with the original.

I'd rather a good movie be too long and a bad movie too short

Too short. A too long movie just ruins it. So many movies are like this. Too short and you can still enjoy it.

Too short. A good movie is still a good movie even if it felt too short. A bad movie just gets worse if it’s too long.

I just need the movie to be good. you don't notice the length if the movie is good.

As I grow old, I find my bladder notices the length of a movie regardless of how good it is.

90min - 110min is nice, 120 is acceptable, anything longer than that is so hard to sit through in both cinema(too cold) or at home(rather do something else). So, short it is.

In the cinema, I would prefer too short. At home any length is fine.

I didn't like Oppenheimer in the cinema. Uncomfortable chair. Notsurei how much run time is left and if I will be out of snakcs by the 3/4 mark.

Watched Oppenheimer at home, and loved it. Can stretch my legs. Can pause to get more snacks.
