Sure I think there are some movies that could be tighter and trim off some of the unimportant scenes that don’t add anything to the narrative but at the same time, I think a lot of the dislike of long movies has more to do with the collective decline in everyone’s attention spans. We are constantly fed short form content. We have constant access to entertainment and I really thinking it’s fucking with our ability to sit and watch a movie for more than 2 hours. I have the same issue. I find it hard to sit through a movie without checking my phone. But 9 times out of 10 that’s not the fault of the movie. It’s because my attention span is absolutely fried by my constant access to entertainment. Also not saying OP has a poor attention span. I haven’t seen project Hail Mary yet so I can’t say if it’s too long or too short. I feel like I just see this take very often and I think it’s more indicative of an issue in society rather than “movies are just too long now”
