People Roast Movies That Made Them Go ‘Holy Cow, There’s Still an Hour Left?'
Whenever I'm on a long flight, I like to watch mindlessly entertaining movies because they're great time-killers. Well, if you find yourself scrolling through your airline's entertainment library and you're trying to choose something that'll make time go a little faster, do not—I repeat—DO NOT watch The Da Vinci Code. The 2 hour and 29 minute movie made my recent 3-hour flight feel like ten hours of pure tedium. Just when I thought the movie would end, Tom Hanks would go on another expository rant and explain the convoluted plot to the audience. For such an action-packed story, the movie somehow feels wordier than the book.
There are lots of movies out there that make you painfully aware of time by either being boring or doing a tonal 180 in the middle of the movie. One redditor asked the internet which movies made them go "holy crap, there's still an hour left?" and the replies are full of hilarious roasts of famously long flicks.

"In early 06 I took a date to see it and we intentionally showed up an hour late. Box office was like 'uhhhh it started an hour ago' to which we replied 'oh we know.' Got to theater just as boat was getting to the island. Much Konging ensues very early this way" —theliver

"Back when that 'Pearl Harbor' movie came out I was having a conversation about it with a group of classmates. Some had already seen it and some hadn't. Someone mentioned something about Japan bombing Pearl Harbor and this one dude who hadn't seen it yet got really salty and stormed off in a huff after complaining about spoilers." —Tough_Stretch
