- ViRaZ, on 10/11/2007, -9/+85Spiderman 3 an hour longer? Hell no. To be honest, I wanted to know how the film would have turned out if they never included the Sandman into the movie. So like a good pirate I found a copy of Spiderman 3 and edited the Sandman out completely. It really helped the movie focus more on the relationships of Peter, MJ, and Harry. The end was kind of choppy though without the 20 story Sandman but on the bright side there's less crying and it's 40 minutes shorter.
- wild, on 10/11/2007, -12/+81Forget mvies, give me an extra hour to the Heroes finale...
- Hyde69, on 10/11/2007, -5/+57Lord of the Rings The Return of the King
just kidding - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -6/+47"See, you can tell he’s turning evil because he asked his neighbor to make more cookies. He’s so ***** cold."
DUGG - ForTheSteel, on 10/11/2007, -5/+36spiderman 3 should have been 2 movies. one with sandman and the other with venom
- kooft, on 10/11/2007, -10/+41LOTR should be on that list
/sarcasm - Abennobashi, on 10/11/2007, -4/+31Spiderman 3 one hour longer?
Yeah, ***** that. - eleven, on 10/11/2007, -5/+32I would like to see an extra hour of Unbreakable, just when it got interesting it ended.
- fant0m, on 10/11/2007, -4/+30Debbie Does Dallas?
- Okari, on 10/11/2007, -10/+36I'm surprised Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire isn't on there.
- kvzuky, on 10/11/2007, -2/+25Children of Men needed at least 30 min more.
- sleze, on 10/11/2007, -4/+26Notably missing from this list are Harry Potter 3, 4 and most likely 5. They should be done extended edition LOTR style.
- TheGonzo, on 08/13/2008, -5/+26As long as she doesn't talk...I can watch a few more hours of her just swimming in the ocean with a wedgie...her wedgie, not mine
- ahhell, on 10/11/2007, -3/+22Yeah no kidding 5 mins of the Quidditch World Cup? WTF was with that!?!?
- Mark4483, on 10/11/2007, -5/+24yeah good call....they put way too much into the last 10 minutes of that episode.
- Netmindstorm, on 10/11/2007, -3/+17"Movies That Need to be an Hour Longer"
Titantic--that way it's too long for even my wife to sit through and ends up saving my ass 3 hours of waiting just to see human popcicles. - noeljohnhoward, on 10/11/2007, -3/+15I think the ending to Children of Men was brilliant. It didn't need a tied up hollywood ending. it leaves you feeling uncertain about the future
- donquixote235, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14I thought Spiderman would have been better if if it was 45 minutes SHORTER.
- haggie, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11that would give you another sixty minutes to choose from when you watch it for five minutes. perfect!
- digghasnoethics, on 10/11/2007, -4/+13I've no problem with it being longer if they included the Scouring of the Shire. The problem is the film is played as if the destruction of the ring is the main message and that everything else is an afterword. It might be Hollywood, but it misses the main thrust of the book - you fight for your home and way of life, but that this in itself changes things so you can never go home to the same place.
- goffy59, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9chronicles of riddick?
- crashingechelon, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8When i saw Spiderman 3, I left the theater feeling like it should have been longer, they tried to do to much in a short amount of time.
- SpectralSounds, on 10/11/2007, -6/+13What about adding an extra hour to, "Artificial Intelligence". I mean, come on. The 4 endings it had werent nearly enough. I wanted another 6 endings at least.
- techsmack, on 10/11/2007, -3/+10That movie was long enough, but it ended to fast. To easily was it all over. If at all longer just a better more complete ending would have been nice.
- TheTaoOfBill, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8Shrek The Third was about 92 minutes too long.
- WhiteKong, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7yes add to fight club, but add in the middle when Tyler still exists, and before project mayhem starts up. add on to the Tyler Edward Norton dialog
- blondeheroine, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Goblet of Fire is an odd one. I felt like if I hadn't read the book, I would have had no idea what was going on. I've also had people tell me that didn't read the book that it might have been better for them if they had. It was a pivotal book in the series that really needed more. I don't know if it should have been longer. Perhaps. But it was missing the key elements that made the book so great.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6@forthesteel - "spiderman 3 should have been 2 movies. one with sandman and the other with venom"
And BOTH without spiderman! - razmig, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8FTA: "I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t really dig the first two X-Men films that much. They were too slow for my tastes, the characters were uninteresting, and by part 2, the entire franchise had really turned into ‘The Wolverine Show"
...if thats the case then your taste sucks. X2 was amazing. - arcooke, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7The Warriors was made in 1979
From Dusk Till Dawn, 1996
Hard Candy, 2005
All new, eh? - zeejay, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I can't believe David Lynch's Dune didn't make the list. They had to edit it down so much that they handed you freaking printed character summaries on the way into the theater. No kidding. It's a brilliantly-shot film, and the characters were awesome, but if you hadn't read the book already, you were lost.
- dboy3587, on 10/11/2007, -3/+8Black Hawk Down another hour
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6i couldn't agree more, the odds of the same zombie being everywhere are astronomical.
- ripstuntz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5300 needed about 45 more minutes...
- douglasr007, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5"The Warriors is being remade by MTV Productions in conjunction with Paramount Pictures."
Wow. I can already tell you the remade is going to be bad. - louiedog, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6The sequels were bad. It wasn't just the story. It was the execution. They tried way too hard to be cool, the acting was awful, some of the special effects were pretty bad (one fake looking agent smith on screen is bad, 200 of them just looks awful), etc.
And although it's not why the films were bad, there is one thing from the second movie that drives me nuts. At the end of the freeway scene when the White SUV gets shot up and rolled you can clearly see that it doesn't have real bullet holes, but those bullet hole decal stickers people put on the back of their ***** 1994 CRVs. Maybe I only noticed because it was the IMAX, but you need to not make that kind of thing so obvious. - immolation, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I remember watching that with a friend. They dosed off an hour or so into it, and I kept watching. Later on, I hear him moving around & stretching his arms. All of the sudden he looks up and says "I can't even sleep through this ***** movie!"
This film shows what a cheesy hack Spielberg can be. He raped Stanley Kubrick's vision of A.I. - TomRemixed, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Spiderman 3 would be a great movie if it added another hour. Spiderman 3 was trying to accomplish way too much in a short time frame. Pirates 3 was simple trying to accomplish too much.
I don't agree with From Dusk Till Dawn though. Keeping it simple was what made the movie good for me. Half of it was a kidnapping story and the other half was a full fledged vampire gore fest. It was great. - Asianwaste, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Army of Darkness. Can never have too much Ash action.
- MammasMilk, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7I just rented that this weekend, worst movie i recall seeing in a while. The whole blasted thing needed development... not more development, just development period. I wasn't really even expecting hardly anything out of it, just fluff, and it was still a huge let down.
Definitely do not give it another hour. - stickyfeet17, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Neverending Story should be infinitely longer
- TenebrousX, on 10/11/2007, -5/+9Or just replace the fist fight between Peter and Sylar with an ACTUAL superhero battle
- DebbilsAdvocate, on 10/11/2007, -4/+8The Matrix should have been an hour longer, and the sequels should never have happened. They could have finished the story for the Matrix intelligently in 2.5 hours, instead we got 3 more hours of mostly crap.
- TomRemixed, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I would have exploded in my pants if they did a surprise extra hour... My pants were clean after watching the season finale of Heroes.
- bnajbert, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4I just wanted to see that stupid kid get popped by the sniper! Thats all I was asking for in that movie, and they wouldn't give it to us!
- SanTe, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3@WhiteKong: 100% spot on. I absolutely love Fight Club, but just when it's getting really interesting Project Mayhem comes along and the whole feel of the story changes and it becomes a long chase scene, and it loses whatever meaning it had up to that point. In an age of fiber optic networks and disaster recovery sites hundreds or thousands of miles away, the idea of blowing up a dozen buildings in Manhattan to reset the consumer debt clock and free us all is naive at best.
- RevAnthony, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5In angrily pointing out that some of these movies are bad, you're missing the point -- of COURSE they're bad. Perhaps I'm a little naive in thinking that extra footage could solve Smokin' Aces, but certain films (like X-Men 3 and 28 Weeks Later) would undoubtedly have benefitted from more footage and character development.
I didn't choose these movies because I necessarily liked them and wanted to see more of them, but because, to me, they're flawed in some way that additional footage would have helped. - Elranzer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3You edited Sandman out? But the scene where Venom talks to Sandman is like 50% of Venom's on-screen footage. Harry was only evil for about 15 minutes. What villains were left?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4I know of two films that need to be a hell of a lot longer.
'The Never Ending Story' and 'Batman Forever'...................what a f**cking rip off.
They're both less than 3 hours each. - SanTe, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I once saw a fantastic longer cut of "Dead Poets Society" on network TV in the early 90s that has, unfortunately, never resurfaced. While it didn't change or add on to the ending in any way it did fill out a significant subplot and add several great scenes of Keating's teaching methods, with both changes contributing greatly to character development. I've been looking for this longer cut ever since. Fans of the film got their hopes dashed a couple of years ago when the studio finally announced a long awaited special edition DVD, only to get shafted by a lame release with the theatrical cut that added little in the way of extras. This was after an online petition had existed for years asking the studio to release the longer cut.
