WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?
It seems a lot of people have a problem with a film's running length these days. As long as the film is intriguing and has a rock solid story, the running length shouldn't matter one bit. "Return of the King" was well over three hours long, and it felt like nothing. The same goes for "Grindhouse" (which failed at the box-office mostly because of its Easter release and the fact that mainstream movie-goers didn't understand its concept). The 170-minute running time of "At World's End" doesn't bother me. As a big fan of the first two films, both of which were lengthy, I have a feeling time will fly by watching the third installment.
By the way, I completely agree with the schmoe below who said that it's unfair to compare the "Pirates" films with "Grindhouse." It IS two different ballparks. Honestly, POTC: AWE could be over three hours long, and I still think it would be a box-office smash. So I doubt a running time of 170 minutes will hurt it.

Im not a huge fan of the "Pirates" movies... The first one was good enough, but the second just seemed to just take the same equation and multiply all of the things people liked to the point of absurdity.
I do, however, like long movies... so I'm hip to this news. |

DRIECTORS DON'T AND SHOULDN'T CARE
Who gives a damn if ppl get "shifty" and don't see the movie cause it's to long. Most good directors don't make movies for the masses, they make movies cause the like doing it. And Grindhouse and Pirates are completely different ballparks, not even fair to judge how well will do based on the other. Pirates 2 was 20 minutes shorter and made bank, so I think they'll be alright. |

WELL . . .
The first two movies both suffered from being too long, especially DMC, however, DMC left a lot of loose ends so this one might actually need the long running time. We will see. |

I just hope it's better than the second one. It was such a disappointment. :( |

If the flick is good enough to hold you through 3 hrs. then it's fine.
However, I doubt Pirates 3 is that stellar. |

This is really sad. Do you honestly think Grindhouse was a bomb simply because of the run time? There are multiple factors thay went into it, one of them being outside of the fanboys people just didn't care about it. |

So apparently the "three" in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 3 is hours, as in how many hours the final installment in the franchise is going to be. Filmjerk is reporting that AT WORLD'S END, which opens Memorial Day weekend, will clock in at 170 minutes, just shy of three hours (2 hours and 50 minutes to be exact). Holy. Freakin. Mackeral. That is one long movie. Have studios learned nothing from GRINDHOUSE and the hindsight that the movie was too long? Of course DEAD MAN'S CHEST wasn't exactly brisk at 150 minutes. Hopefully the third and last film won't suffer from RETURN OF THE KING-itis where the ending won't ever end. Now I guess the trick is on me cause I'll be the theater checking this film out no matter how long it is. I just wish they'd trim these things down and leave something for the DVD. Doesn't anyone else get fidgety after 170 minutes in a movie theater chair with the guy in front of you backing his seat into your knees? I'm the only one???
