On the heels of the recent confirmationJustice Leagueclocks in asthe shortest installment in the DC Extended Universe to day of the month , the subject of movie running times has been a hot button payoff of late . Many viewers desire their most anticipated tentpoles to be epic in ordered series and background , feel that the only way to achieve that is to shoot for an " epic " runtime in the region of three hours .
That false belief has been disproven by numerous films throughout chronicle ( seeDunkirkfor a recent example ) , and we ’ve made the argument"shorter " runtimes can be a benefit- as they ensure a flick does n’t outstay its welcome .
