When I had read that Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was more than 2 hours long and included a mid-credits scene, I was expecting to be deeply impatient and unhappy. It really is rather inconsiderate to make a kids movie that lasts more than 90 to 95 unless you’re Pixar. Fact of the matter is that the target audience for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is not one expected to have an attention span to be in a public place for more than 2 hours.
On top of which, you aren’t being considerate of parents who likely are not fans of Sonic the Hedgehog and would rather be just about anywhere else. That’s not even mentioning how unfair to film critics it is to ask us to sit through Sonic the Hedgehog 2 any longer than we should. Sure, some of us get paid to do this, why else are we adults at a kids movie and taking notes, but even with our meager pay for this task, 2 hours is asking a lot for Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
