Henrik, I don’t remember anymore but it may have been me that said the running time supported Jay’s theory that it felt “budget”. If I did say that, it would only be because animated movies in particular have a constant overhead associated with how long they are, and the ending definitely felt rushed.

No, I said that the animation, backgrounds, and overall look made it feel budget.

But you specifically pointed out the fact that it was short as one of the reasons that you didn’t like it. You adressed it and said it weakened the movie by making it feel budget.

But it doesn’t matter that it was short if I didn’t think the movie itself was all that great. I don’t like something simply because it’s short or hate something simply because it’s long.

You said that it felt like it had been cut short, and that added to the argument that it was a very budget movie. Instead of saying it was short and that’s good because it doesn’t need to be long.

I said what? That TMNT looked budget? Yes, I did. What does that have to do with the running time or POTC3?

You said it on the podcast though. I was just pointing out the inconsistency.

You’re the one making the comment! I have no idea what the two have to do with eachother.

“All filler no killer”? What a horrible typo. I meant to say “All killer no filler”.

What does the movie seeming ‘budget’ have to do with the running time?

About the TMNT comment… You complain about PotC being bloated and overstaying its welcome. Fair enough, I share your opinion in regards to the first two movies. But TMNT comes along, a movie that I think sits in the same genre as PotC, and is short, to-the-point, some might even say it is “All filler no killer”. But not only do you not give it props for it – which is fine, if you didn’t think it was a good thing about the movie – but you bash it, saying it makes the movie seem ‘budget’? That doesn’t make sense to me.
