I'd argue that you really need to be a worse reviewer to push through the thirty minute range. We really didn't say a whole lot; there's going to be a reshoot this week with the criticisms in mind to make up for it.

I write overly long and I talk overly long. Its not a strength, its a weakness. There will be a time when I am a better critic and will believe in earnest that the film I just watched deserves 40 minutes of coverage. Man of Steel is not a film that deserves 40 minutes of coverage. Star Wars VII might be, but for that we'll need to see.

I have my notes for improvement, and will work based off that. I might do a video review for the next one as practice, since I actually suspect that my plan to reshoot Man of Steel will go poorly. But we'll see.

And yes, all of those reviews are great.
