Time is relative, especially when sitting in a darkened movie theater. As more 2023 new movie releases arrive, we’re starting to see more cases of movies coming close to, if not exceeding, three hours. The impending release of Beau Is Afraid, as well as this summer’s Oppenheimer and Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, have either been confirmed or rumored to be lengthy experiences, with some parties preparing to say that this prospect is uncalled for. However, after John Wick: Chapter 4’s epic finale, I’m now even more inclined than ever to defend longer movies in theaters.
