You know, it's funny. It's an excellent film, with tons of great action (which holds up very well) and plenty of good characterisations and good plot, but it's just so long. About 2:20. That's why I hardly ever rewatch it. And it clearly could've been pared down, maybe cut or shorten some of the earlier content.

For me, films should generally be between about 1:30 and 1:45. Great length for a film, and assuming it's good, that makes it quite rewatchable. Although, I certainly won't deny there have been some really good long films. Terminator 2 would be an obvious example. Also, Blue is the Warmest Colour (about 2:40), The Godfather Part 2 (about 3:05), and Nymphomaniac (about 4:00).

What do you think about Terminator 2? Or lengths of films?

I've seen it tons of times and will be watching it again soon.

Run time depends on genre. An hour and a half is great for comedy movies but you'll find that your average horror movie is usually a little over two hours.

No, I'd say horror tends to be about 1:45 (and I've seen a few of those horror films).

Historical films seem to be quite long. Plenty of ground to cover, I guess, and lots of serious storytelling to do.
