Some people may have been dissatisfied with Jumper, a movie about special people who can move through anything. As we all know the duration, is less than 2 hours. To be exact, it runs in 90 minutes. Big budget movie, hoping to gain the money back in box office, only create 90 minutes long movie?

I think it has been a trend lately, Cloverfield and Rambo (the fourth), are also has less than 2 hours in duration. Are the director (and the crew) has already run out of creativity? Why can’t they make 30 minutes extension? Probably, another trend is releasing director’s uncut version.

I think I should pay just three quarter of the regular price instead.
