But Harry Potter was the first to do it and then everyone copied them.

I do agree it needs to stop.

No, it wasn't the first. Kill Bill comes to mind and a few others.. of course also TV-series with big story arc or mini-series like Band of Brothers.

What you essentially demand is that every story is shoehorned into 100 - 150 minutes, no matter how complex the story is or how much has to been cut for that time limit.

I don't want that!

Who wants that?  Give me Lawrence of Arabia, give me the whole of Gone with the Wind, give me The Watchmen, give me The Dark Knight Rises.  Give me the whole movie.  If you have to charge me an extra 5 dollars for it, charge me for the time it takes to finish your damn movie.  Don't make me wait a year, don't make me wait 6 months, give me the damn movie that very night.
