I remember before 4-5 years, most movies was in the range of 80-100 mins, this days for reason or another it's in the range of 100-x<200 mins.

I hate fillers, fighting scenes, sex scenes,, repetitive scenes, old comedy styles and unnecessary talk scenes, matter of fact I started realising that if the trend for longer movies continues, we will need to have a sponserblock like add-on/ database api to trim the movie time(remove the unnecessary scenes) to a reasonable time to have more fun.

Why is that happening and is it a continuing trend(meaning that 2025 will have even longer movies)?

My favorite part of movies is when characters can just exist as themselves.

So more unnecessary talk scenes for me please!
