Face/Off comes to mind for me, I liked the film but towards the end it was just getting dull. The chase scene on the speedboats as well was a little too long for me.
Batman vs Superman I recall the fight scene towards the end just dragging.
All the Transformers films. Just too long.
90% of movies from 90-120 mins are too long.
99% of movies over 120 mins are too long.
There are a few brilliant exceptions, but they are the exceptions.
(These rules only apply to movies meant to be seen in a theater with no intermission. Give a movie an intermission, and you can nearly double your running time.)
2001: A Space Odyssey's seemingly neverending psychedelic rainbow vomit scene. It was beautiful, but 5 or 10 seconds should be enough.
The Hateful Eight... or more like, The Hateful Eight-Hour Long of Uncomfortable Discussion!
Hotel New Hampshire

BTW you may have noticed a pattern in some of my posts. I really HATE this movie
i can't think of any movie where a scene is too long. the irishman could have been 30 minutes shorter.
shareI think that’s how I felt about Legends of the Fall when it first came out. I was tired by how many people died. I barely remember the movie though.
shareThe obvious one is the ending to Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. They could have ditched 9 of the 10 endings to that one.
The 40-Year Old Virgin was a good 40 minutes too long.
I am one of the dozens that liked Batman V Superman. I just think they should have ended before the whole Doomsday thing.
The Lord of the Rings...two and a half movies too long...
