So it is a two parter--Bond 24 and 25 rolled into one!

Not necessarily.. But then I always think they wanna finish this story ASAP .. Maybe start with new idea on Bond 25 still with Craig ..

 

My guess is the movie could end in a way that suggests closure, but could very easily be expanded upon with SPECTRE cast members returning in Bond 25.

It is interesting, isn't it? With Skyfall the big line was that the baggage of the past was behind the series and that things were moving forward. I'm very happy they've decided to attempt to tie up loose ends. The longer the run time the better. I have no doubt that the final product will be good. We're starting to get down to the wire here! Exciting days ahead, though as always it's bittersweet. It's going to be a while before we get to enjoy this process again.

Blast. Absolutely, Matt! It´s always bittersweet.

It's the last Bond movie we're likely to have for three years.  It's ok by me if it's eight hours, ten minutes.

As far as I'm concerned, it's not a proper Bond movie unless it feels like it's six hours long and leaves you with flu-like symptoms such as headache, disorientation, etc. BRING IT ON.

Well since yesterday, ODEON cinema had the running time as 0mins.
 
Today it's been updated to 160mins.

That's 2hrs 40mins. (Ok, 2hrs 34mins give or take the credits).
 
Wow.

Allowing for thirty minutes for trailers, adverts etc and your going to be in that multiplex for over three hours. Only an hour or so short of those Bond double bills I used to go and see during the school holidays when I were a lad! Happy days!

Makes me think this, is this really shaping up to be Craig's epic finale as 007? Setting up SPECTRE for a future Bond actor to take on?

They've not made it with that intention, but I guess it may always turn out that way.

I think at least there is the intention of wrapping up the story arc that began in CR...as mentioned in that interview.

I think the most accurate runtime report so far is 147 from Sony Austria.

Further reaffirms my belief that the Craig era should be considered a separate self-contained arc like Nolan's Batman trilogy...

Awesome!! I'd much prefer the 2 hours and 40 mins option as opposed to the 0 minutes.. Lol!! I'm very happy!!

VUE cinemas now have it listed as 160mins on their website.

Just the age rating now, but I am sure it won't be different from the previous Craig films.

Or a big wee before!
 
Cineworld mess it up with listing the time as 150mins. But that's just one, so I am vouching the 150-160min mark for sure.

it's what our group paid.  It's not so different from what an IMAX ticket would cost over here.

Yeah, and that's not the most expensive. And it's OUTSIDE London.

VUE cinema here for Monday costs £10.99. It's extortion. Makes me think SPECTRE run UK cinemas now.

Yep, I've paid £25 for the Royale Circle at Odeon Leicester Square. £9.80 sounds like a bargain.

My advanced ticket cost me $17.50 for XD (reserved seating and all), and I was the first to reserve at my theater. IMAX listings haven't popped up yet. If Spectre proves to be good, then I'm sure I'd see it again in IMAX like I did with Skyfall.
