Would you say that most blockbusters these days have the same problem with running time that they used to have?
One criticism that used to be very common against a lot of blockbuster movies was that they were too long, one of the most famous examples of this were the Transformers movies which had a runtime that was often between 140 to 160 minutes despite the fact that they don't have much to offer in terms of story. I've noticed though that this criticism seems to have become more unusual in the last 10 years or so. Do you think this is something that a lot of blockbuster movies still struggle with or has this issue become less common?
