100 minutes is the sweet spot for me. If I'm sitting in a theater longer than that, I start getting bored.
Forget boredom, I get physically uncomfortable, even assuming I don't need to use the bathroom...
I kind of get this guys point. 90 minutes for the total movie is fine, 120 is pushing it. Any longer and Ill wait and watch it at home where I can get proper comfy and pause if I need a pee.
