    Bro, no! A story is a story, and the one making a movie can do what ever he wants, if this 2 hours or 30 minutes or 1 hour. Not all perfect movies are Short.

      A story is a story, but the 90 minute format was a standard for a good reason. If you’re not sticking to a three act structure, use whatever time format you like. Just make sure you’re using the audience’s time respectfully. I’ll forgive a 90 minute ‘meh’ movie far easier than one that took 200 minutes.
