length

[chatterbox]

what length should tf go for? to develope characters and plot I wouldnt mind 3hrs as long as it had a great story/plot

your thoughts?

[Jazz935]

I kinda agree..2 1/2- 3 ..as long as the story line stays interesting.

Thats what bothered me about 2012.. I actually got to the point I was wishing they would all just drown or something to get the movie to end.

[BIG Tee]

Yeah about 3 hours is good. As far as 2012 it did get a little redundant and predictable. I kept looking at my watch wondering when it was going to end.

[Optimash Prime]

2-21/2 is perfect three might be to long... dont get me wrong I would watch 238748273 hour film of Bays work but the transformer stuff might make more sense to be broken into two 1 1/2 hour films...

[Mr.Gabba]

Right around 2 hours would be good IMO.

[Trailbreaker]

12 hours.

[Bayhem]

Theatrical Cut - 160 minutes.

Director's Cut - 180 minutes.

[TIMtationX]

3 hours is too long.

[wingzero]

180minutes theatrical release.
220minutes extended Director's Cut Blu-Ray release.

or

168minutes theatrical release
220minutes extended Director's Cut Blu-Ray release.

I selected 4 hours, but would have chosen 73 hours if it were an option.

Y'know, because I'm a realist and all.

[Mech_1000]

3 Hours would be plenty. Adding too much time would disperse the cgi in the movie (ie, the transformers).

[Trigger Mike]

In all seriousness, I say make Transformers 3 a 100 minute silent film (as in no dialogue).

Bad robots come to Earth to wreak havoc. Good robots fight to protect the humans. BAY goes BOOM for about 90 minutes straight and the end credits roll.

This would be a superior Michael Bay Transformers movie. There's no point plugging humans into a story if you're not going to give them a motivation for existing.

[yoco]

I think 2 hours should be enough!

[TheBigBad]

As long as it needs to be to tell a story that actually makes sense.

[menasor3]
