Runtime opinions are mixed. Some reviewers think the feature-length format works surprisingly well, while others feel the short-form gag style strains over 90-plus minutes or could lose a few minutes...
Pros: humor, entertainment value
Cons: pacing, visual style
The long runtime feels justified to some by the layered mystery; others think repeated chapters could be trimmed.
Pros: acting performance, scares
Cons: pacing, emotional impact
The compact running time avoids sprawling setup, but some think it feels rushed or oddly slow despite its relative brevity.
Pros: lead performance, supporting cast performance
Cons: entertainment value, villain quality
Length is a recurring complaint, with multiple reviewers describing the film as overlong or feeling the 132–136 minute running time.
Pros: visual style, production design
Cons: romance quality, faithfulness to source material
The nearly two-hour runtime feels excessive to some viewers, with the final stretch arriving well after the movie seems ready to conclude.
Pros: directing quality, cinematography
Cons: humor, violence level
The roughly 130-minute runtime is one of the strongest points of agreement, repeatedly described as overlong, criminally long, or far longer than the story can justify.
Pros: chemistry between characters, lead performance
Cons: entertainment value, runtime
Runtime is a recurring concern. Several reviewers find the film exhausting at more than two hours and say the experience would benefit from being shorter.
Pros: lead performance, production design
Cons: humor, message quality
