What? I prefer 3 hour movies. You can do so much more character development and twists with the time

it really depends on the type of movie. this is Beetlejuice were talking about, not some Scorsese crime epic

Why couldn't we have better character development in Beetlejuice?

[-] AlicePraxis@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago

I don't really think all movies need character development to be good, I mean it's definitely important in say, a character-driven drama film, but in a zany screwball comedy horror movie for kids? not so much.

Beetlejuice has a very silly premise which benefits from brevity, I think diving too deep into the characters would make the whole thing less fun and bog the movie down in terms of pacing. it's really important for a movie like that to maintain a sense of momentum, and that's very hard to do with a long runtime
