Have you ever seen a movie that you thought was going to end soon, but it didn't and instead went on for another hour or more? Well, if so, you aren't alone.

In a world full of comic book movies, film universes, and A24 epics, you're gonna have some 3-hour movies that just don't need that long to tell their story.

Thanks to AskReddit we've compiled the movies that made their point, but weren't anywhere near the end.

1
The Irishman. 3.5 hour run time was a little long for one sitting. -firecow745

2
Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker. 92 minutes in I wanted this to be over. -Pilsberry22

3
Titanic, when you put that second tape in the VCR. -Hot_Task1408

4
Thor: Love and Thunder. When we saw how much time was left, we just shut it off. -Gathose1

5
Wonder Woman 1984. Can’t believe I’m not seeing this mentioned already. Edit: I'm not just hating on it; the OP's scenario literally happened. I remember checking how long was left, and saying "jesus christ, for real?" when there was nearly an hour to go. -Grantagonist

6
In the criterion classic Freddy Got Fingered, towards the end of the movie, there's a big crowd scene with people holding signs welcoming home the heroes. One of the signs reads "When the ---- is this movie going to end?* -turboiv

7
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. Not in a bad way. I just remember feeling like I was watching the climax and then it kept going. -We-keep-meeting

8
Full Metal Jacket is an hour long film about the depersonalization of soldiers, followed by another hour long film about the dehumanization of the Vietnamese during the war. -at_the_matinee

9
I watched Babylon last night and I was like, "Holy cow, there is still 2 hours left?" -jkhabe

10
That Zach Snyder Justice League. Was all excited to see it then about 2 hours in was checking how long it had left. It was about an hour. I never finished it LOL. -NoBenefit5977

11
Hateful 8. That movie is one long conversation. But in a good way. -krediot

12
The extended versions of the Lord of the rings. Didn't realize how much additional footage there was. Amazing though. -Pmabbz

13
Gone Girl. In my defense, I knew nothing about it and thought it was a romcom/chick flick. -Bean_Juice_Brew

14
The Eternals. It would've been better as a Disney+ show. Even at such a long runtime, it felt like they tried to cram in too much. -CWRules

15
Pearl Harbor. There's the climactic attack on Pearl Harbor. It's explosive and tragic. So many people getting hurt and killed. And then ... the movie slows down. And keeps going. For another hour. UGH. -Snoo-35252
