I don't think any movie should be over two hours. The regular Lord of the Rings movies were too long and the extended versions where waaaaaay too long. I don't have a problem with splitting a book into two movies, but at that point why not just turn it into a TV series like Game of Thrones. TV is a much better format for book adaption, if done right. Movies should always try for the perfect 90 minute run time. Long enough to tell a story but brief enough that your soda doesn't convert to urine and need immediate evacuation before the credits role. Going to a three hours flick? Don't buy anything with caffeine ;)

I fully agree on the TV series part. The Hunger Games would have been an epic, high-quality TV series in the same scenario as Game of Thrones.
However, there is no reason a movie can't be 3hrs long. So many of the best movies that exist are that long and if the story is entrapping, you don't even notice.

Well I notice. Believe me, I notice.
